“To a true Bavarian, a slice of anything in a glass of wheat
beer is utter heresy punishable by lifetime banishment from Bavaria.”

As neither a Brit or an American, I didn't even notice he was supposed to be American.

And "Doctor" is the British way of spelling "Guy that fix's folk right up".

Me too. But I have been thinking of myself as 40 all year, to mentally prepare myself.

It also sounds pretty bad when played right. Trust me, I know (see my other comment).

Oh, they had a holophoner. It was just gathering dust in the back of a drawer.

I had two flatmates studying the recorder at the conservatory. They had very expensive instruments, worked really hard and I think they were fairly talented. It still sounded from awful to barely mediocre. Why choose an instrument you have to work so hard on to make music that's just passable? If they had put their…

Because wagyu is known for being the leanest of meats.

I've eaten guinea pig a few times and usually it's served roasted whole, with it's face grinning at you with bared teeth. Pretty tasty, a bit like rabbit but more fatty. No problem with that. And I have more sympathy for guinea pigs than ducks. But this balut stuff sounds too gruesome to me.

I saw Doctor Strange three days ago. It would be damn well miraculous if that cameo hadn't been filmed.

You have a talking tree as a pet? Cool!
Too bad he's a buzz kill.

I've just seen the movie and this article spoils absolutely nothing except the name of the villain; the part that seems spoilery actually is just idle speculation by the author who obviously hasn't seen the movie yet.

I don't get the worlds love affair with sriracha. There's not much wrong with it, but it's one of the least interesting hot sauces around.

I eat a banana almost daily, but only as a standalone fruit. I can't stand them prepared in any dish, not even in deserts. So this sounds absolutely gross to me.

Well… If I could vote in this election, I would be FAR from undecided. But apparently a lot of people see this election as a choice between two evils (it's actually not really, Clinton might be far from perfect but she's way further from evil), so I see how that can keep people in the undecided camp.

Hey @avclub-912e79cd13c64069d91da65d62fbb78c:disqus, it seems this @bradley fellow is really on to something.

If you count time, regular chess is actually 3D.

And Michelle looks nothing like a man.
Dammit, those Obama's are a handsome and charming bunch of people.

Quality control thought the auto destruction was just a feature of the test examples. To keep the design a secret.
