90's cell reception could be... highly variable, and people were still not used to the ‘dead air’ between responses that is characteristic of cell and internet voice chat. Land line calls are (or at least, were. I haven’t used one in a zillion years) essentially plunking people in the same electronic ‘room’. It was a…

The Nightly Show w/ Larry Wilmore

And apparently Wink Martindale (of The Joker’s Wild, et al) is quite a piece of work as well...

Trebek had a rather unfortunate (predictable for a 78 year old white dude) reaction to #MeToo with a “Boy, it’s scary to be a man, now, huh?” reaction...

> Well, and the amazing scenery

> Like the Pope’s Mitre, it’s old hat.

I USED to be in So Cal, but am now up north. My local, EXTREMELY EXCELLENT chippie is run by a Korean family, so no brit candy to be had there, unfortunately. (Their fish and prawns are freshly hand battered, though, and their Seattle-like chicken teriyaki plate is possibly the best take-out bargain in town, which…

I was going to paste the video into my work slack channel, but after watching 30 seconds of it, I decided that no, I’d rather keep my job.

When the end comes, and the bombs all go off, when the flash dies down and the dust settles, there will be nothing moving on the surface of the planet but cockroaches, and Keith Richards, who will stumble out of his cave, peer around curiously, and ask “Where’d everybody go? I saw the lights, I thought we were on...”

Folks from the UK (and, to an extent, Aus/NZ) often have a ‘thing’ about peanut butter. Which is to say, they *hate* it, with the burning fury of a thousand suns. Similar to an American’s opinion of Marmite and/or Vegemite. Many do not, of course, but it’s not at all uncommon to hear a Commonwealth native quietly…

Teh Crunchy vs. Crumble debate is one I will happily watch from the sidelines, enjoying both for similar, but not identical, reasons.

Now if only I could find Cadbury Crunchies or Violet Crumbles that AREN’T $4.50/ea in the little ‘import’ section of the candy store...

How has no one yet commented on the utter garbage that is the new Grand Tour episode, “Lochdown”.

Since the U.S. does not recognize any sort of state religion, “sincerely held religious belief” is whatever you can get a judge to sign off on.

> Modern toxicity knows no gender or racial boundaries, and everyone is just fucking terrible lol.

We used to. The local donut shop in my midwest suburb was a Mister Donut ‘til the early 90's, when it converted to a Dunkin’ Donuts.

Remember, for every horrific, full-body cringe inducing, mind-recoils-at-the-very-idea thing you can do to a human body, someone, somewhere, is masturbating furiously to the prospect.

My guess?
