It’s a joke based on an old meme of a woman who reviewed a local Olive Garden for her newspaper column.

Yikes. Whoosh was the sound as it went over my head. Thank you for the heads up, this is a linguistic phenomenon (and regional cultural battle) I had no idea existed.

Ooof.

I wouldn’t have named that video ‘redneck couch moving’ so much as ‘awesome engineer couch moving’ cause damn. I didn’t realize which comment you were responding too, didn’t see the ropes at first and even when I did notice them I thought it was going to end badly. But that was great.

The Chicken Alfredo ($10.95) is warm and comforting on a cold day.

So terrible. But so delicious. If it wouldn’t be like a nutritional car crash I would probably eat one or the other every day. Plus a lot of pancakes. Sadly I can’t even remember the last time I ate a nice plate of crispy bacon. And you may be right. I don’t know what my personal experience offers most of the time so…

I don’t like Baco Bits or any of those substitutions. I love MorningStar Farms’ chick’n patties and nuggets and corndogs in an ‘eat-this-not-that’ way and I enjoy their fake sausages but that sad streaked pretender to bacon gives me the worst kind of sad. Turkey bacon can go right to hell.

Oh, I have given you the wrong impression— I am definitely not a vegetarian or a vegan. I eat all the tasty creatures. But I attempt to eat healthfully-ish at least part of the time and so bacon and sausages are rarely on the menu, which is unfortunate because I love both. However, I do enjoy the vegetarian imitations…

Bacon for life. MorningStar Farms makes kiss-kiss-perfectly flavored faux sausage links and also-good sausage patties, some maple flavored. And when I eat those I don’t have to think about ‘how the sausage is made.’ Bacon on the other hand is utterly irreplaceable, no vegetarian substitutions are even remotely close, a…

Oh, my god. Damn. That’s awful, and I’m so sorry. You are the furthest thing from a failure though. You are delightful and fun and thoughtful and whole and write memorable posts and that’s coming from someone whose memory is dysfunctional and who visits GT all too rarely of late. And working full time (it is full time…

Ahhh I love your positivity and stick-to-it-ive-ness and (this uncool  friend situation aside) I’m so glad things are looking up, way way up for you. Have so much fun with your awesome guy!

Boy did reading this comment make me come over warm and fuzzy. Beautifully said.

Unless you start voting Republican there is no way you’re going to let anyone here down. My contribution will not be much because we are all unexpectedly unemployed in my household at the moment but meh, we do what we can. Take care of yourself, hang in there, and know that a great many friends and also internet randos…

I haven’t tried dating apps anytime recently, but I do think they’re a good place to work from because you can specify the things that are most important to you (dealbreakers, basically, though you want to phrase that stuff in a positive way) and also because you’re dodging the whole approaching people when they might…

Coming at this from the perspective of a sometimes-chunky, sometimes-fat, Thor-cosplaying, Marvel-loving gamer: I could not have been more delighted by Fat!Thor. I actually didn’t go in costume to Endgame, partly because I was going with non-cosplayers but partly because I’d gained 20 lbs and knew I wasn’t going…

Same re: ‘curate’ for the most part but I do use that word in the context of arranging my kids’ artwork on our artwork wall in the kitchen. It’s a carefully curated collection.

Everyone knows only Pete Buttigieg can defeat the Night King.

I really loved though that Thor was still a total badass once he got his head in the game and his armor on. He still had it. We can argue about the insults that he received because of his size and shape, but a fat and 100% awesome MCU superhero is exactly what I wanted and something I never in a million years thought…

Make America Gay Already! I mean that’s our gay agenda right?
