I’ve only seen one episode, several years ago, with the CEO of Yeankee Candle, and holy shit. The first employee he worked with was a young 20-something dude in a mall location who was kind of dark and snarky. He took the undercover dickhead under his wing and showed him the tricks of the trade in that store, and made…

Wait till he finds out Weezy Jefferson and Claire Huxtable aren’t actual people.

I would imagine the movie would play like a low-rent knockoff of “Dead Poets Society” so I’m not sorry I’ve never seen it.

It certainly wasn’t the INTENTIONAL point of the book, and of course in a Catholic high school, we weren’t taught the queer reading of the book. The mainstream interpretation of the book is that it’s about regret, mostly regret for aggression, but it’s clearly the regret John Knowles had about not riding any hot…

I went to a predominantly Irish Jesuit school, and due to the... lack of diversity, the student body roundly hated “Things Fall Apart” but I still remember it almost 30 years later. Sorry Sully, not every novel can be about Irish immigrants being raised by a salt-of-the-earth laundress after Da never returns from the…

“A Separate Peace” by John Knowles. A story of a rich asshole reminiscing about his time at rich asshole training academy (boarding school) and how he totally didn’t have a repressed gay crush on his best friend. I read that piece of shit in high school over 25 years ago, and I’m still annoyed i had to slog through…

That’s what IMMEDIATELY caught my attention. That’s how these fascist fucking weasels work. it is a RIGHT, not a privilege. These thoroughly dishonest jackbooted pricks do this sleight of hand where they point to the regulations that establish eligibility to vote and say “see, if it were a right, everyone could do it,…

So they’ll share details to make money, but they won’t share details with law enforcement or the the families of missing people until after they’re found murdered...

Yes, we hear pretty much everything you say. For one thing, in a crowded restaurant, what you call a whisper is really more of a stage whisper, and as our ears are much more accustomed to the din of the restaurant, we probably heard your dramatic whisper better than its intended audience. Rest assured, though, we…

Just wanna make sure I understand this correctly. We don’t have a problem when Hitler uses the Olympics to make a political statement about “Aryan superiority” and showcase the alleged German economic recovery thanks to good old Nazis. We don’t have a problem when China uses the games to make a political statement…

Sometimes it just seems like a vehicle for who Ryan Murphy is fucking this year. Finn Whitrock, Cody Fern, etc...

I laughed, but Benny Tudino’s across the river in Hoboken is pretty good, and their slices are ENORMOUS.

Provel’s very EXISTENCE is a crime against humanity, and dairy.

My understanding was that Charles doesn’t want to dissolve the monarchy, he just wants it drastically trimmed down, without 500 cousins with title and claim on the family payroll and “grace and favour” apartments. After the Prince Touchy’s interview and downfall, it seems like he’s getting his wish.

the one that used to be in The Plaza? I worked at The Plaza for 3 years in the late aughts, and there were tons of people in housekeeping and F&B who’d been there long enough to remember his ownership. Him they all HATED, but Ivanna was remembered pretty fondly overall.

Now, every restaurant I ever waited tables in, if you asked me more than 4 weeks in what my favorite dish was, the honest answer would usually be, “the leftover chinese takeout I brought from home,” or “nothing.”After a month in ANY restaurant, you’re so sick of even looking at most of the food served there that it’s…

The Help 2: Strangerous Minds, starring Rob Schneider.

I have heard of this game. It’s even the B plot of an episode of Malcolm in the Middle (season 2 episode 4, “Dinner Out”) but it’s a game played by elementary and middle school children, NOT TWENTY YEAR OLDS WITH MILITARY COMMISSIONS.

1. I said annoyed, not angry. So please don’t attribute emotions to my post that I did not.

Plate or platter?
