I loved the KFC buffet as a kid, because I liked all the sides more than the chicken. Pick at a piece of original and gorge on slaw, pudding, wedges and gravy.

Jalopnik, and no one made the connection between Omologata and homologation?

This is why security guards carry a Detex clock.

There’s nothing offensive about it, but there’s nothing intriguing about it either. Rich old farts grousing. It’s like if Woody Allen did mumblecore.

No one did Pitt’s dance in Burn After Reading?

Speaking of ‘digging out old CDs’ Warner finally put ‘Arms of Orion’ on youtube. So many years when I got a jones for that song, I had to dig out my nearly 30 year old Batman Soundtrack for that one.

It was/is the pre-eminent ‘hatewatch’ in that its missteps are both infuriating AND fascinating. Genuinely fascinating.

Or just pointed out there is an implicit ‘and’ between African and Caribbean. Medical diagnosis ‘stereotypes’ by finding objective commonalities of risk in order to narrow the focus of inquiry and concentration. It’s not a sociological assumption, it’s an identification of a shared risk group.

Two-pronged wall plug?

[Spoilers, but answered since it was a direct question]

God, don’t know whether to HOPE that is laughter or FEAR that is laughter.

Done this forever, got started when I got the craving for Campbelled eggs [scrambled eggs and cream of mushroom soup] and started perfecting the concept.
