No one orders black coffee and means coffee with sugar. Yeah it’s referring to the color, but it’s shorthand for the coffee being unadulterated. If you order a coffee and someone ask you how you want it, there are four normal answers:

The fries aren’t good, but that’s sadly because of the way they’re actually healthier for you. They’re fresh cut from a potato when you order them and fried once. Everyone at this point is used to frozen fries that have been fried twice. You can, however, ask for your fries to be fried twice when you order them if you…

This is definitely true, and would be an acceptable answer if Craig had left it at that: ordering black so he could add his own sugar. But he doesn’t. Instead he specifically tries to make a point about coffee with sugar counting as black—not only to the waitress, but to Drew in his letter. And that’s just wrong.

I had Impala a few times while I was in Africa ten years ago. Twice it was pretty fantastic. The other time it was horrendous—the cook had boiled it in a stew without gutting it, and the intestines made the entire thing literally taste like shit.

Strawberry jelly belly on their own are the best jelly beans there are. I could house those all day if it wasn’t such a terrible idea.

The secret to In n Out is that a normal burger is fine—nothing special. Even a cheeseburger or a double double is only pretty good.

Black coffee is like neat whiskey. No one orders a whiskey neat, asks after the ice and then insists neat means “I didn’t want it mixed with club soda.”

nope. They’d still win 50-49. The Dems need either a) no defection of their own, one republican senator to defect and the whole thing to happen before McCain is replaced or b) no defections and two GOP senators. These are both probably asking too much.

What? Who the hell goes to bat for “ER and everything it represents?” Until this moment right now, who had a thought about ER beyond “it was a show that was on the air for a while.” What the hell does ER represent beyond “long running primetime medical soap opera”? Are there certain types of smug centrist liberals…

Oh come on, this is nonsense. Everyone knows that the werewolf bit was just a movie they were watching that also starred them (premiere maybe?) but despite that she was scared out of her mind by it and ran off and then they got chased by zombies and he turned into one but it actually was all a dream IMPLANTED IN HER…

Boyoncé fans ARE on this bracket, though. They just got voted down in round one. Star Wars isn’t on the bracket at all, which makes absolutely no sense, when they should probably at least be in the final 4.

WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE FLAGS?!

Similar but different issue I had when I first read it: I burned through two copies. This happens to me a lot when reading huge paperbacks. The spine breaks (sometimes fully—into two or more pieces), the cover starts to curl, fray and sometimes come off at the spine.

Yeah, he’s not wrong. Superhero movies as a whole are massively overrated. I say that as someone who’s like a number of them and grew up reading superhero comics. The vast majority of them aren’t as good as the best action movies, to say nothing of when you open it up to all of filmmaking.

Welp, buckle up. Apparently shooter was a competitor in the tournament who opened fire after he lost: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-jacksonville-mass-shooting-20180826-story.html

That’s fantastic. I’ve overjoyed that Robert Caro has that playful of a sense of humor.

I think that goes doubly for Out of Sight. Out of Sight is fun. But it’s not remotely the best film of the year.

God damn it that’s so much better than mine.

I thought Funeral for a Friend was kinda lousy too. Reign had some interesting stuff. Some of it was better than other parts of it, but overall it was not bad, imo.
