No,. Rice A Roni is everywhere.  Every. Freaking. Where. At least in the US.  It’s not exotic or regional or anything.  

He is just an amazing person all-around. I’ve never heard anything about him that didn’t make me love him more than I did before.

Prudie is the only thing I can stand to read on Slate. 

I dunno. I like both.  I like having a huge library of DVDs available AND I like having a bunch of shows/movies that I can watch on a whim.  

Well, it kind of is noteworthy that only 3 million people do this which is just really really weird to me.  But yeah, the tone of the article is annoying. 

About 90% of the problematic DVDs we get can be fixed by simply cleaning them.  We almost never have to send a disc back because it’s scratched beyone repair. 

Hasn’t Netflix been celebrating its 20th anniversary of mailing DVDs around?  

There are ONLY three million people still getting DVDs?  Wow.  Anyway, I still get DVDs, even though I stream things almost daily on Netflix.  There are lots of things that simply aren’t available any other way.  

And who could blame them? 

I’ll be honest - I’ve never paid all that much attention to him as a human being despite my proto-Gen-X roots so I never realized that he is apparently a genuinely nice person. And I’m surprised by how much that tickles me. Maybe it’s just the world right now, but I’ll take any little glimmer of actual humanity I can…

I make meatloaf specifically so I can have meatloaf sandwiches later.

It’s not all of them - I think there must have been a subset of them that were produced by and/or for the show itself.  

Actual ads.  

We’ve been watching DVDs of old Soul Train episode and those have some of the old commercials. 

I always get excited when I have layovers in Houston or Dallas so I can go to Pappdeaux’s.  It’s surprisingly not bad. 

GAAAAH!!  Why?!

Meh, in this case that was just another way to say “we aren’t rude or dickish to our server” rather than a sweeping judgement of their character or behavior in all situations.

The pilot was great but the episode that I loved the most was, I think, the second season premiere where we meet Desmond and discover that he’s down the hatch.  The music helped.  (I should really watch this again.)

Oh crap, I misunderstood. No, you’re absolutely right about Louis CK. Utter dick who can fuck right off.

Is there any indication - any at all - that Franken threatened anyone’s career?
