I’m broadly in favor of lab-grown anything when it comes to food.  I see no reason we can’t grow shrimp on the cob.

What sort of crimes do I need to commit to get Paul F. Tompkins to host Jeopardy?

If Red Lobster is involved, so is cross contamination.  Seriously, I can’t even go in the building because the allergens aerosolize from the fried shrimp or something.

Never felt better about being deathly allergic to shellfish than I do right now.

FFS people, learn the difference between “fiction” and “reality” and while fiction does sometimes impact reality (e.g. we all see “Nimrod” as a term of derision for a dimwitted person *because* of a Bugs Bunny cartoon) , realize that the effect is not 1:1.

At this point, it’s like how every chocolate cake recipe involves salt (since a small amount of salt makes things taste more like themselves), but nobody’s going to say “this is my salted chocolate cake”.

Dr. Pepper during college football season is one of my vices.  I wonder how much Dr. Pepper I’m going to need to buy to qualify.  If it’s like a reasonable amount, I’m game.

If only you could grow a new kidney so easily, by inserting kidney beans into the fallow soil of your urethra.

While I bet it’s fun for a filmmaker to be able to use a huge library of IP in your movie because Mouse is permissive for in-house projects. If you actually make the climax of your movie involve Wolverine, Wedge Antilles, Miss Piggy, Guybrush Threepwood, Kanga, and Lisa Simpson saving the day you’re just going to…

So this is absolutely up my alley, but given the pandemic flaring up again I really don’t want to go to a movie theater and I’ve come to the realization that basically all of these big superhero blockbusters are things I can catch on basic cable in a year or two.

Trump was not mistaken to want to end 20 years of American fuckups in Afghanistan.  He was, however, gravely mistaken in trusting the Taliban to keep to their word.  One would think he’d be more in tune with habitual liars.

Peacemaker wasn’t redundant because of his skillset, he was on team 2 because of his personal sense of ethics lets him be aimed in a jingoistic direction that the rest of the team could not.  He was there specifically to betray the rest of the team in that context where he does that.

I strenuously dislike how they reversed the UI convention for the follow buttons.  Everywhere else on the internet, “filled” means an action has been completed and “empty” means an action has not been completed.

If the restaurant is located above the drive thru lanes (which isn’t a terrible idea), can I still go inside of the restaurant if I prefer to look at a person?  I mean, once we are finally done with the whole plague thing.

There’s absolutely a game jam here unifying the ideas of “left at the altar”, “house burned down”, “mysterious mansion”, “possibly killer grandma”, “fiancé faked his death”, “possible incest with grandma”, “clandestine bush assignations”, etc. where every entry would be more compelling than the actual game here.

Well, somebody’s going to be having a pretty exciting August 18th this year.  Get your pumpkin coffee and hit up the robot sex conference.

The most recent Activision/Blizzard game I own, I think, is DJ Hero 2 for the Xbox 360.  It’s okay if I continue not playing it, right?

I guess the lesson is “don’t base the concept for a dish on ‘this is what we think only bougie asshats would order’ because people are going to let you down.”

Live, it was very entertaining... one of the funniest things on a wrestling promotion in some time.  I get that Domino’s wants to present a “family friendly” face, but I think they should be able to get over the fact since the actual juxtaposition was quite amusing.

I hope someday they can finally finish writing Rise of Skywalker.
