I just buy a bag of chips and some candy the day before the flight. Generally, trans-Atlantic flights, which are mostly what I take, do still have free meals, but the food is terrible, so I look at it as an excuse to eat junk food for a meal.

It reminds me of when conservatives started accusing Obama of being an “anti-colonialist”. I mean, I thought being against giant exploitative empires was a good thing.

Personally, if I were inclined towards prepping, I’d stockpile hot sauce and mustard. They can be pretty self-stable for a long time, and we all know the old saying “In a world where everyone is living off freeze dried food and whatever they can catch, the person with condiments is king.” At least, I think that’s how…

Now I’m looking at my hand, and looking at my toe, and reflecting that, while I am generally reluctant to go see a doctor, If my toe were even half the size of my palm, I would probably make an appointment. How on earth could a toe get that big?

I mean, even in that top picture he could be black. Are there any colour pictures of him, or did he only exist in artistic black and white?

“Help me, God!” “Sorry, Unitarian, according to you I’m in the flowers and the trees, and I’m just a vague, benign force. You’re on your own.”

Canonically, Dr. F is also dead, killed by Pearl after he failed to grow up into a better adult than he was the first time around. So maybe some kind of seance would be needed to bring the two of them back.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. Noel and Sandi were a bit awkward at first, but they grew into their role. I just really wanted Liam to win.

Red Pandas. Next time, we should nominate a red panda for president.

Possibly. But they didn’t get the Expanse or the Good Place until after Season 1 had aired. so only season 2 was a weekly thing. And I think Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was also weekly, but isn’t an original.

Yeah, in Ireland, it shows up as a Netflix original. (On a sidenote, I wish I could work out how it is decided which shows Netflix merely airs, and which are listed as Netflix originals. The Expanse and Dirk Gently are also listed as originals here.)

“Or vice versa!”

I remember, in an interview with the creator of Blackadder, he said that when pitching the idea, he was told several times that there are two sitcoms everyone wants to try that always fail: historical sitcoms, and sitcoms set in Heaven. Which. . . I guess the Good Place doesn’t exactly disprove that, does it?

Chili’s is were you go to eat with your grandparents, because the food is safely unethnic. At least, that is my entire experience of the restaurant. They are also everywhere where I grew up (southeast).

I collect trivia the way other, more affluent nerds collect funko pops. It rarely comes in handy, so I have to show off somewhere.

Oh, I know. Any inconsistencies are proof of the conspiracy, and any proof against the conspiracy is proof of the coverup. Which is why you can’t disprove a conspiracy. If you took a moon landing conspiracy guy to the moon, and showed him the remains of the Apollo mission, he’d accuse you of planting it there to cover…

I am puzzled by conspiracy theorists who are excited about this release. Do they really think there’s going to be a note from the CIA about their plan to assassinate the president in there? Surely if it was a conspiracy (which I do not believe), there’s been enough time to clean any offending documents out of this…

Irritating fact about the Bayeux Tapestry: It’s technically not a tapestry, it’s an embroidery.

What I remember about Castle of Fu Manchu was that the audio was so bad you couldn’t hear most of the dialogue. The story I always heard about Creeping Terror was that most of the recorded dialogue was accidentally destroyed, which resulted in the inexplicable narrator. Which has a sort of charm.

There’s nothing like watching Peter Graves battle giant grasshoppers to really lower your disaster movie standards.
