Sports USED to make me miserable, because I was sick (i.e. hospitalized for extended periods) as a kid, and as a result was congenitally predisposed to suck at ALL of them with the exceptions of billiards and darts, which are not sports, no matter what ESPN8 (“The OCHO!”) has to say about it. I sucked to the point I…

Honestly, his career in science was doomed the moment his parents named him ‘Kyle’.

just to be clear, they’re not REALLY called occlupanids. It’s a joke pseudo latinate name from ‘occludere’ - to enclose, to shut up and ‘pan’ - bread. This is one of those late 90's joke sites that’s thoroughly developed, cleaned up, and delivered with an absolute straight face, and seems weirdly legit until you…

Unsurprisingly, there is that exact Darth Spatula, as well as the Nessie Ladle, in my kitchen right now.

Will someone PLEASE tell me why everyone isn’t making Crypt Keeper / Phantom of the Opera / starving vampire jokes about that picture atop the article?

That was more or less my point. Now that flash freezing on ship and international logistics have grown more efficient by huge margins, it’s now possible for any landlocked Nebraskan to have access to perfectly acceptable quality fish and shellfish from the local Kroger/Costco/etc. Quality more or less identical to…

The folks in IT (and other non-public roles) are not subject to the ‘look book’. Folks that work in the mall at The Disney Store (are those still around?) WERE subject to it.

We are large. We contain multitudes.

They go with my Big Mac.

It’s not that the rich don’t have or *shouldn’t* have mental health issues “What do YOU have to be unhappy about?” is not a helpful sentiment. Mental illness is something ANYONE can have.

I used to be a sucker for the crab alfredo. Then I realized that anything I can get at Red Lobster, I can make at home for 1/3 or less the price and 3x the quality. Even buying plain ol’ supermarket IQF shrimp, precooked and picked lump crabmeat or a couple of frozen lobster tails and preparing them yourself will get…

“cast members” are all public-facing Disney employees. Designating them as ‘cast’ (as in, performers in a show) allowed them (at least some time in the past) to more rigorously specify employee appearance, dress code, etc. i.e. “You wearing pants isn’t a ‘reasonable accommodation’. You are being cast in the role of…

The fact that you’re *shocked* by the quality of film/tv costumes says you haven’t been on many sets. Costumes ALWAYS look like shit up close. They’re not real clothing. They have to fit over flight harnesses. They have to get ripped and torn up in battle scenes. There are probably 2 or three ‘hero’ dresses for each…

True. Also true: The falling out between original drummer Bun E. Carlos and the rest of the band is wound the band never REALLY recovered from. Nothing from the post-Bun period is close to even their later best (stuff like ‘She’s Tight’ or even, yeesh, ‘The Flame’)

yes, really

Rule 34: If it exists, there’s porn of it.

Taste is subjective. Correct. That’s $100 and the board is yours. Categories left are “Potent Potables”, “An Album Cover”, and, as always. “White People.”

Mostly, my point was that the movie was good, but that it wasn’t so good as to merit a wholesale remake just for the sake changing the language.
