The last couple apartments I lived in that had sliding glass doors had a metal rod built into them that swung up so you could open it and then back down when you wanted to block it.

Honestly, I have learned a lot about cooking and flavors from watching Chopped and Guy’s Grocery Games (and some on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.) And been entertained at the same time. I usually can’t sit through just someone cooking something, not even Emeril Legasse.

I notice that every time I see them together.

The nice thing about Beat Bobby Flay is that the focus is rarely on him. When he’s cooking against the chef who wins the first round, there’s more focus on him, but the celebrities (chef and otherwise) who are on are usually taking focus from him in order to try to annoy him and there’s at least as much focus on the…

Nearly every other major chef from Food Network has been on Beat Bobby Flay and Guy’s Grocery Games, but Bobby Flay has never been on GGG and Guy Fieri has never been on BBF. I have often wondered about that.

He’s not on a military salary. He would be a civilian government employee and they can make bank, especially once you get up as high as Gibbs likely was. Plus, he’ll now have a pension (he has certainly worked there long enough to qualify for that.) Plus, like Bruce said, he hasn’t exactly lived an extravagant…

It probably depends on the casino. When I was at a casino in Mississippi and just learning blackjack, I started to touch the cards and the dealer immediately put a stop to that. Can’t touch your chips, either, once the hand starts.

It should be noted that much of the information you used to be able to easily get in regards to a vehicle registration and driver’s license is a lot more restricted, which started happening after the murder of Rebecca Schaefer by her stalker who found out where she lived by calling and getting her DL info. It’s…

As a former police dispatcher, no, it’s not generally easy. You would need a connection in either dispatch, the records department, or with a police officer. That said, I do believe that PIs can run them, but they have a separate way to do it (it never came through dispatch) and probably pay for a service to do it the…

Yes, thank you! Reading the review and reading the comments, I just kept thinking, “Why can’t y’all just sit back and enjoy it.” It isn’t meant to be high art. It isn’t meant to blow you away. Not even the movies are. They are meant to be fun. Sheesh!

Also, *this* episode didn’t say that the stones only work in the universe they came from. It said each universe’s stones are different and that somehow the stone crusher was specific to the stones in her universe and won’t work on others. That doesn’t mean the stones themselves don’t work in other universes.

I usually go to CNN.com for big events like that.

As someone who used to work 911 and has had many small children playing with cell phones call in, I can tell you one of the hardest things in the world to do is get a toddler to give the phone to an adult. This is a great idea for telemarketers.

I useed to work at 911 in my small town. The 911 lines have 7 digit phone numbers connected to them and one of those telemarketing companies that uses an autodialer kept calling one of those numbers. I’d tell them it was 911 and to quit calling. The third time, I told him it was 911 and he laughed at me. Then I got…

Pie are round. Cornbread are square.

In that case, eat the dessert first. It’s the only way to go.

The problem is that we have this idea that we have to clean our plates. We’re raised with it. So, we feel like we have to eat *all* of the giant portion they give us.

I just would not shop there. Because I don’t even have checks. And I’m 51.

There is one song that Sammy Hagar sings that I can stand, and it’s I Can’t Drive 55. I will absolutely turn the station if my 80s channel plays anything else of his, be it a solo or with Van Halen. (I usually listen to the 80s alternative station, though, so this doesn’t happen a lot.) I just, generally, do not like…

So, that wasn’t just me. I mean, I didn’t totally notice any of the others, but in last night’s episode I definitely heard a phrase that sounded Australian.
