Methinks no matter how many times that you keep repeating that, it will never sink in.

As long as you do not eat the paper towels, your arteries should be fine.

Even better with good quality hard salami. Get the deli to slice them as thin as possible, then nuke ‘em on paper towels. My dad came up with that one with the first microwave that we owned back in the late Seventies. Reasonably confident that he just had a brainstorm about it, because it was a relatively…

Karen Black was prone to appearing cross-eyed. I think that she made the mistake of focusing her eyes at the camera, instead of beyond it, and during close-ups, well. . .

Somebody get Charlton Heston in here!

Welcome, Gentle Ben!

Robin Hood Daffy is hardly the greatest Daffy Duck cartoon, or the greatest Chuck Jones cartoon — both of those honors go to Duck Amuck — but ye gods, that is not just the funniest moment in cartoon history; it is one of the funniest moment in any medium in all of history.

Great indeed, but not the greatest. That honor goes to Jackie Chan’s first international movie, The Big Brawl in 1980. The singer in this case is singing it “straight,” but she is an augmented fourth out of tune with the band, and at a different tempo to boot. Don’t turn your volume up too loudly for this one:

I just hit that same door in the same apartment on my playthrough this morning, and had the same reaction. I even moved all of the boxes even though the door was clearly non-interactive, just in case it triggered some magic switch. And that was not even the first time that I was able to enter an apartment through the…

Serious props for the indirect call out to Carol Clover’s wonderful book, “Men, Women, and Chainsaws: Gender in the Modern Horror Movie.” If any fan of the genre has yet to read that book, do it now. Even if you are not a fan of the genre, read the book. It is impossible to overstate just how important her analysis…

One of the times when my wife ran the Med City Marathon in Rochester, MN a few years ago, Jeff Galloway was there. It was a nasty, nasty day. Even pre-race, it was clear that it was going to be a scorcher. Galloway got on mike just before the start and lectured everyone on the fact that it was already too hot for…

I like Tarantino as much as anyone, but Martin McDonagh achieved a level of poetry with the profanity in that movie that Tarantino could only dream of. I saw it theatrically with a good friend, and we both giggled with delight from start to finish.

My wife and I went to Zion a few years ago on one of our Vegas trips, and we went part way up the Angel’s Landing trail, but stopped short of the top. It was not just because of how scary the trail itself is — and make no mistake, any trail that has a plaque commemorating the people who have died on it should give you…

The Pokemon flap — I was going to say trolling, but of course we all know you were in deadly earnest — remains one of the finest moments in all of Gawker media. Thanks for that!

And yet, by even discussing what she said, we are all feeding the troll.

Truly NSFW:

Well, like other sous-vide dishes, I assume that it would need to be finished on the stove. Get the the sugars to break down in the bag, then brown them more quickly than normal on the stove.

Not onions in general, but caramelized onions in particular. Can they be done sous-vide?
