This is why you’re always hungry after you have a salad for lunch: you barely ate anything.

Other than the extremely general (books, news, science, food), mine was extremely off the mark. I had to Google some of the entries before I knew what they were (reality shows I’ve never heard of, mostly). Unchecked everything. It’ll probably be a mess again within a week.

Look, I’m quite late to this party which means I’ll be lucky if anyone even sees this comment, but nobody seriously thinks that Night of the Hunter—which is a fantastic film—is a Christmas movie, do they? It ends at Christmas, but even that isn’t particularly a plot point.

I came to disagree but ultimately what I wanted to say is stated in the quotes you pulled: ibuprofen and acetaminophen moderation will ease the discomfort and maybe get everybody a better night’s sleep.  Otherwise though you’ll save money by letting things run their course.

Fun fact: As a lifelong Wisconsinite, only one Thanksgiving dinner in memory featured cheese, other than on the pre-dinner charcuterie board, and it felt out of place. I’m very familiar with mashed potatoes of this type, but I associate it with quiet, lazy nights in front of the TV. For the big family meals it’s the…

A friend of mine had something similar happen, and covered it by saying she had inadvertently sent her shopping list: peaches, bottled water, eggplant, Hershey's Kisses...

I’ve sent plenty of cringeworthy texts, but none of them makes me as uncomfortable as the one I almost (but didn’t) send. It’s not even particularly a good story, but it makes my stomach jump just to think about it.

A couple of years ago, I was at a function for my wife’s family, and somebody wanted to get everyone together for a photo in the backyard. The plan was to get it framed as a surprise present for Grandma, and it was surreptitiously coordinated behind her back while she was cooking.

I dunno, man. You’d think that this would’ve come up in the cursory research an actor does for a role but he is Australian (meaning that he comes from a hemisphere with no native wolverines, not that he doesn’t do research). It’s not like Australians give us a hard time for not knowing about (*Googles “australian…

I live in Madison, Wisconsin, and there are a few celebrities who have homes here. I know lots of people who have truly-Lynchian stories about meeting David Lynch around town.

“Total package” ...of tools?

Ooh.  Saving this one for...  IDK, sometime other than Thanksgiving.  This sounds fantastic and my in-laws (who wouldn’t touch it anyway) don’t deserve it.

Now in 2018? Definitely not. But back in the ‘90s when things were relatively prosperous, Bill—a centrist, no matter what his opponents claim—pulled a lot of right-wingers closer to the left (if only temporarily).

I came more or less to say this! When I first learned that he’d started recording music for kids, my reaction was “well, that makes sense. Hope he cleans up his language.”  I feel bad for parents whose kids were young while children’s music was still artistic exile for professional musicians; children’s music is…

I hate to be the guy who unhelpfully says that we wouldn’t be in this mess if the stuio had just let William Castle direct the movie as originally planned, but we wouldn’t be in this mess if the stuio had just let William Castle direct the movie as originally planned.

Definitely check out the backwards message in You’re Not the One (I Was Looking For) by Blue Oyster Cult.

The packaging is so much classier than the rotini I usually buy.

Right. To be clear, nobody's saying I'll never do Pickle Dinner. Nobody's even saying that it won't happen multiple times.

I mean...  That sounds like something I’d do, but it also sounds like something I’d regret since my stomach complains if I consume too much acidic food at one time.

Gonna get a cocktail to try this out. Expect full report later.
