It’s weird because I’ve used lots of public restrooms in my life, and the genital configuration of other people in the restroom has literally never been on my mind. I find it hard to believe that it actually, truely concerns other people.

Funnily enough, I found the floaty gameplay in Flower to be so frustrating that I never finished the game. I know what it was trying for, but the effect didn’t work on me.

I watched a lot of Spike TV in undergrad, because they had 2 hours of The Highlander every afternoon. And that's just quality programming.

I doubt a delivery person in Belguim expects a tip. I don’t know of anywhere in Europe where tipping delivery drivers is expected. Allowed, but not expected.

Honestly, it’s really weird that “sex cult” has been only a minor storyline in this whole thing. In any normal circumstances, that would be the whole story.

No kidding. Even if, in a moment of aclohol/drug induced inspiration, someone discovered that blended white castle burgers were delicious, I can't believe they weren't too ashamed the next morning to tell anyone.

No kidding. I’m American, but I live in Ireland. Now, I’ve lived here 10 years, so I’m pretty ised to Irish society and values, but watching the contrast between here and back home, and even how my own family are handling things, has been kind of fasinating.

It's an excellent show to watch while exhausted and jetlagged. More than once, while on a jet blue flight after a transatlantic flight, I've found a DD&D marathon on the food network, and it is perfect viewing for that exact moment.

Or “It’s raining outside, so we can’t do that movie. Let’s go indoors and make a different movie!” Corman in his heyday certainly wouldn't have let a pandemic slow him down.

Remember everyone, Randy Newman is 76 years old, so by flattening the curve, you're helping to keep Randy Newman safe.

I never understood why anyone went into business with Lowe. The man oozes an “I am a sleazy predator” vibe. I wouldn’t loan him the money for a cup of coffee.

Okay, Joe might not live much better (raising the question: Where the hell did the money go?) but the other one, Doc, definitely leads a nice life, while apparently some of his workers live in roach infested stables.

Okay Soc should be Doc, but the editing window has passed.

And the woman who talked about working with Soc like it was a cult. She seems fine now.

Yeah, they had the volunteer talking about how she worked every Christmas, but this is someone with the time, money and dedication to be a full time volunteer, of course she's going to come across as extremely devoted. All full time volunteers I've met are at least a bit like that. It's not as though Carol is keeping

I mean, it was all but inevitable, but I’m really looking forward to Matt Lucas, so I hope things aren’t too delayed. Ireland is supposed to hit it’s peak in mid-April, and I’d imagine the UK is on a similar time line, so maybe they can film in June? June is nice.

I’m honestly surprised no one tasted it. Archeologists have tasted 300 year old butter in Ireland and honey from Eqyptian tombs. I can’t believe no one just, like, took a sip and then spat it out.

I’m in Ireland, where schools, colleges, daycares, and pubs have all been closed by the government. Some restaurants have chosen to close as well. Most places have a sign explaining they are closed because of Covid-19. But one nightclub I saw has a Giant “Closed due to government restriction” sign. I think the owner

I don't understand the lust for water. If tap water goes down, that basically means society is over, and unless you have a bunker, you are not prepared for that. So why bother with water?
