Oh, the lizard people aren’t dead.  That’s what they want you to think.  Or are you one of those sheeple who actually still believes a “hurricane” is what happened in Puerto Rico?

I’m not considering Whole Foods to qualify here as a “supermarket,” because it really isn’t a traditional supermarket. Same with Trader Joe’s and stuff.

It’s obviously the Clintons who are behind this. People who have damaging information on the Clintons don’t live long. James McDougal. Vince Foster. Ron Brown. Seth Rich.

Well, it depends on what kind of pizza, doesn’t it? Chicago-style thin crust has a crust with some structural integrity, so the square cut slices hold up well. But I wouldn’t want some thin, floppy crust pizza cut into squares, it would be impossible to eat. And deep dish doesn’t get cut into squares.

I paid $50 for Final Fantasy in 1990, and I think Super Mario 3 was $60. Material costs were likely higher back then, but programming and production costs were much lower (there were probably like 15 people total who worked on either of those games). It’s crazy that the price of a video game essentially hasn’t changed…

Agreed. Also, I think the disdain (and worse) for centrists on both sides of the aisle is not helping, it’s hurting. This site is to blame as much as anyone for that. People on the far left are NEVER going to “reach” people on the far right, and vice versa. It’s the people in the center who are going to reach across…

Yeah, Trump looks ridiculous. Who cares? Why is nobody talking about the glorious hair on that guy on the left side of Trump? He looks like he was created in a lab to have the greatest hair of the 1980's, using DNA from Stan Van Gundy and Ron Jeremy.

Wild strawberries > Farmer’s market raspberries > farmer’s market strawberries > grocery store strawberries > grocery store raspberries.

Have you ever tried ordering a McGriddle without the cheese?  It’s a huge improvement, and turns it from “slightly weird” to “outrageously delicious.”

Counterpoint:  You’ve obviously never eaten a good brownie.  Also, the optimal topping for a brownie is a scoop of vanilla ice cream (or two) when the brownie is still hot.  All other variations of brownies and brownie-based desserts are inferior.

The “no ketchup on hot dogs” thing is a dumb, provincial thing. However, I think it’s just misinterpreted and bastardized from the original intent. Chicago dogs use sweet relish, and not dill relish like much of the rest of the country does. You can’t have ketchup and sweet relish together on a hot dog, it’s just too…

I agree beer is food, and there’s also a shocking absence of Spuds MacKenzie here.  I mean, he’s a very good dog and deserved to be picked. 

Wow, this was the most thrilling draft I’ve ever seen. Pang jumps out to a huge (possibly insurmountable) lead with his first pick, only to have Bernot nail her next two picks and pull out a big lead. Pang makes it neck and neck with the Noid pick, and DSM comes out of nowhere with the last pick and makes it a 3-way…

JFC, I think I’ve heard “sometimes the Lord delivers his message in an imperfect vessel” or something along those lines at least once a month since 2016.

I mean.... is it “redefining” racism though? If huge portions of the country believe that “racism” means that you either hate another race or believe another race to be inferior, I don’t think that’s “redefining” it. There’s just a disagreement on what it means, and that disagreement tends to pretty closely follow…

Eating smoked fish for breakfast is a thing in some parts of Scotland and England. As you would expect, smoked salmon is one such smoked fish, especially in Scotland. Kippers seem to be the most popular though. And in some parts of Scotland, they eat something called an Arbroath smokie, which is a whole haddock that…

As a Bears fan, I watched him several times a year. And I’ve never seen another player who produced such dread as an opposing fan. Like, literally every time he touched the ball, my stomach started to churn, and every time he was tackled or forced out of bounds, I let out a big sigh of relief.

They actually had some pretty good WRs when Sanders was in Detroit, especially Herman Moore. Brett Perriman was pretty good too.

I’ve eaten a Garbage Plate before.  It’s not something you eat while wearing a dunce cap, it’s something that is only intended to be consumed while drunk.  And it is glorious when you’re drunk.  It shouldn’t be good, and in fact, I thought it sounded disgusting.  Hash browns, macaroni salad, cheeseburger patties, hot…

They have expanded a lot recently, they’re not really that “regional” any more.  Also, at least 2 of the 3 drafters either live in Chicago or lived in Chicago for many years, so they have definitely been exposed to Potbelly.
