Fantastic. I hate it.

Brittle is possibly the last word I would expect to see describing Twizzlers. I think you may have eaten a) old or b) counterfeit product.

Red Vines have no flavor? Are you mad?

They are explicitly, distinctly red in flavor.

Or, if you eat corn on the cob frequently, get a butter dish, lay a stick down inside and dedicate it as ‘corn butter.’ Then you just roll the cob of corn along the top edge of the stick of butter, sliding side to side like the carriage return on a typewriter. It will melt slightly and form a corn-radius “U,” which…

But you have to go to a Starbucks to get one, right?

It will be very 2020 if Malarkey wins this season.

Ditto the recommendation. Bosch is really well made, Welliver is IMO the tip of the iceberg of a really great cast.

Counterpoint: No, they are not.

Someone told me it’s a Twin Peaks reference, but I don’t know how the connection was made.

Make this all the time, especially holidays. Somewhere along the line it got the name “Man from Another Place Casserole.”

Great breakdown, although your ‘Woman’s Name” category is basically just a breakdown of an English Cozy mystery.

ITYM “default favorite song of people with no taste.”

Surprised and sad to not see Horizon Zero Dawn in here. 

Wouldn’t buy a Funko Pop, you mean.

I don’t want to wish a serious and terrible (and preferably fatal) illness on anyone. But if I did...

It’s true, they’re essential and irreplaceable. If only there were a way to buy games online and download them directly to your console or PC. Man, wouldn’t that be great?

Prosthetic feet, obvs.

Ditto. Worked from home the last 7 years (and several before as freelance), and sweats or shorts every day is the only way to go. However, I fear I may be, now and forever, totally unemployable for a normal on-site job.

Very late to this party, but finally got a chance to try a Coke Energy. First drink, not bad. Second drink, did I accidentally buy the Cherry one? No... Third drink, oh, I get it, someone just put cough syrup into a Coke. And we’re done.

Cranberry Red Bull is still energy drink flavor-winner for me. 

So is this season an original story/plot, or is it leaning on elements from the other Kovacs books (Broken Angels / Woken Furies? I honestly hope it isn’t. Altered Carbon was a hell of a book. The other ones were... books.
