“The Cats are such a fun basketball team to watch. How could you not scream your head off?”

What does this prove? That Jeff Bezos lacks “game” in the romance department? The guy has $137 billion dollars worth of ‘game’.   

It doesn’t matter what you do, “they” will take it out anyway.  I am going to try it. Right.   Now.

Two-spacer til the day I die. We all know this one-space bullshit is promoted by the Military/Typographer Complex and those Graphic Designers. You, know, the people who care more about how their goddam page looks, than about how it reads. “Oh, but it flows better!”

the real amazing part is how they drive that train all the way from West Virginia to China!

They not only should have a sharp point, but that point should tail off to one side at the very very top. It’s not supposed to look like a perfect cone, it is supposed to look like it dropped hot off of something,  and then cooled.

$14 million “and counting”? They had better keep on counting. The projected cost of the completed wall is somewhere between $20 billion to $70 billion depending on who you ask. So that’s like five or six feet of wall for every mile of border in the best case. Or they could run the whole length to a height of two…

“What do you eat with pizza?”

I remember the TV show “Alias” was sponsored by Ford. Everyone drove a Ford at every opportunity. Every car on the road was a Ford. It was uncanny sometimes. Once, two spies were chasing the bad guys but they had no car. “The F-150!” cried Sydney, and they got into the truck somehow without breaking any glass, and…

• well is it 1300 or 13,000? The latter figure would yield 35 fatal chases a day. USA Today says: “More than 5,000 bystanders and passengers have been killed in police car chases since 1979,” which is way less than 1300 a year Dividing the 5000 figure by 39, it comes out to 128 deaths a year. About half the toll of…

Obviously, the best solution is to ORDER the mispronounced dish, pronouncing it correctly as you do so. Maybe with a slight stress. “I will have the guanciale”. And repeat it if possible: “Could you make sure the pasta in the guanciale dish is al dente”? Even ask nonsensical questions: “Does the guanciale come…

is there some reason why AV club is featuring this story as “new” in December 2018, when the even the “update” is from January? Out of the thousands of stories, only five can be featured when you hover over the AV Club link at the top.  What is the criteria for selecting what stories make it into these five?  It…

Pretty much the same thing could be said of David Lynch’s Dune movie. Amazingly ‘accurate’ in terms of plot elements, totally missed the point in terms of what Dune was about.

It’s not real CPR unless there’s mouth-to-mouth.

Now I want white tires! If someone could invent a white “carbon black” - i.e. an additive that would increase the tire’s wear resistance, but not darken the color, I bet they would make a fortune.

I always assumed it was to make sure that the cashiers were not stealing. A common scam is to have the cashier’s friend purchase something worth $1oo but charge him $10. That way he appears to have gone on the line, paid and so on.   I think the receipt checkers are looking for UNdercharging as much as they are…

90% of the complaining happens in the fall and most of that is based on the tilt of the Earth’s orbit , and not what numbers humans assign to it. Getting dark earlier and earlier is bad enough, but then, suddenly, wham! It’s dark at fucking four o’clock! You borrowed something, and now you have to pay it back all…

Vitamin D made a big difference for me. I used to get really affected. I got some full spectrum bulbs as well.

What they do is impressive and requires great skill and talent.
