Since the whole point of spending $250 on a shot of scotch is telling people that you spent $250 on a shot of scotch, go ahead and treat yourself and truthfully tell people that you spent $300 on a shot of scotch.

Someone goes, “Oh, hey, I found the spare fuel hidden in the crawl space.”

There’s also a CRAZY operatic version of this poem written by Karl-Birger Blomdahl in the 1950s. I used to be a fundraiser for a large orchestra and one year our conductor decided on a whim that he wanted to do a big production of it, so I went to work raising money for it until he decided on a whim that he didn’t…

There have been a number of Nobel Laureates who worked partly in the sci-fi genre: Kipling, Lagerlöf, Shaw… Most notably, Herman Hesse won the prize largely on the strength of his sci-fi novel The Glass Bead Game. Though I don’t know that any of them wrote science fiction poetry, and almost certainly not at book-length…

I live in Finland, and I can say that that is most definitely not the reason. Try living here during winter and then you’ll see.

I understood the final scene was showing the new planet being seeded by Aniara

Additional fun fact: The original author, Harry Martinsson, later received the Nobel prize in literature, with “Aniara” as a major contributing factor. I suspect this is the only novel-length epic science fiction-poem with that honor :-)

“The Popeyes chicken sandwich has been an agent of chaos”

There are people who can tell the difference between brands of gin?

A newer-style gin, like a Hendrick’s, many domestics, or a Monkey 47, will be distinct from a more traditional London dry gin. Especially if the cheaper gin they use to doctor the bottle is very juniper-forward, even the harshest, cheapest tonic couldn’t cover that Pine-Sol kick.

“OH, YOU LIKE THAT CAR, YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TAKEN IT OUT OF THE GARAGE DUMMY”

My wife has been a vegetarian since she was 12 and has no real memory of what beef tastes like. She likes eating Beyond Burgers. I stopped eating meat about 5 years ago and burgers are among the things I miss the most. I’ve been eating Impossible Whoppers like they are Popeye Chicken sandwiches on sale. I had two this…

“It dines when you recline...s”

Base model has simple HVAC, no push button, alcantara dash, cloth seats, no faux-carbon fiber/glossy trim pieces.

The current Tacoma, sadly:

I win ! I Win ! Look at this abmoniation and weep. Boring, Black, bland, no cup holders at all, switches too low on center console, touch screen controls that take your eyes off the road etc.   But that’s not the REAL problem with this interior.   I’m sure all of you can spot the two fatal flaws in this interior.

It’s a squircle!

I want a turn

So many had to go down for this.

OK...what am I missing here?
