In the summer of 1993, Coca Cola had this promotion that if you checked under the cap of a 20 oz plastic bottle of Coke you might win another 20 oz bottle of Coke. It you won, the message was printed in dark ink. If you didn’t win, nothing was printed at all. Therefore, you could tilt an unopened bottle to peek under…

I was lucky enough to grow up near the Chesapeake Bay and we would have a nice blue crab feast at least once a year. The first time I encountered lobster at a restaurant I was baffled. My first instinct was to tear it apart with both hands but given the fancy tablecloth and dishes this was clearly the wrong approach.…

I am getting up there in age (my first game purchase was Ultima 3), and I still wear my Chucks. The secret is to get the right insoles for them. I use the blue Superfeet insoles and they give me all the support I need. Granted, they cost $50, but they seem to last forever and you can switch one pair between all your sh…

Just want to say a thanks to all those who were gracious enough to explain what “spontaneity” means. The cleverness of the AVClub commentariat may have diminished, but at least the pedantry is still going strong.

Also works as this guy:

“Legislating the placement of hands, to my mind, is ludicrous. It undermines instinct and spontaneity.”

It’s pronounced “Nikolaj”.

The Batman could have been edited into a great four-part streaming series. They could have fleshed out some story details and made an even better six-part series. As a movie it was just too long.

Miles Teller looks like he was drawn by a very good artist who just can’t get the eyes right.

We got one as a gift, and here’s a couple things you need to know:

The plastic on that first design looks like skin being stretched over the shoe. Yuck.

My wife is works for the Department of Health and she attends weekly webinars about the newest COVID studies.

The world would be a better place if all of Tucker’s male viewers burned their nuts off. Natural selection in action.

My father had a 1961 International panel truck with three on the column. He said it was one of the funnest cars he had ever driven.

I don’t think this is worthwhile if you have a desktop computer. There’s no place to mount it under the desk, so you have to put it on top which makes it top heavy and easy to tip over, especially at standing height. If you put the computer on the floor, then you need extra long cords and you can’t wheel it around.

I like it. They should lean into the retro spreadsheet format more, maybe go with a monospace font to give it a Usenet feel.

Gillian Anderson’s greatest crime was that she made Margaret Thatcher sexy. 

I just average them. I have an average of 5/6 baths with a margin of error of plus or minus 1/4 bath. And you if you really need to, you can piss in the laundry room sink. Just hit the middle please.

Perhaps Grindelwald and Dumbledore are the “fantastic beasts”, and they are finding each other.
