I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining, like 'we need to talk more about sports!'. Not my intention; I generally talk sports at other sites. I was just saying that it's simultaneously funny (because the AVC staff clearly doesn't care about sports) and endearing (it's seriously cute to placate the sports fans here…

haha, found it! I want to blame the new site layout for not knowing this existed, but I'll just go ahead and call it plain old ignorance.

Nope! Had no idea. Thanks!

haha, sometimes I wonder why they even bother listing sporting events on WOT. I'd wager that no one on the entire staff gives one tiny shit about sports (Kevin McFarland's 30 For 30 writeups were pretty abysmal), which is fine. On the other hand, it's nice that they try and incorporate sports into things, because…

Oh wow. RIP to him, what a run. Still working up until he was 93. Incredible.

The lesson here is to never hastily post a Simpsons quote on the AVClub without checking if someone's already done it.

But I actually like O'Neal.

ha, yep. Sorry, I zoomed past the article to start up the obligatory Simpsons quote thread before I went back and saw you'd already done it. But now it's etched in stone and I can't delete it.

Haha, wow. I kept reading 'frites' as 'fries'. Makes sense now! I shall turn in my library card as reading clearly ain't my thing.

'Oldman Yells At Cloud'

Hmmm, I wonder if it's a regional thing? 'Steak fries' to me are thick cut, skin-on fries, kinda shaped like a canoe. I don't think I've ever had shoestrings with a steak.

Probably. I also probably didn't understand it.

meh.

I'm all for changing the word 'clusterfuck' into 'Dexterfuck'.

Not only that, but he has more posts than upvotes, which is a ridiculously hard thing to do if you're posting a lot here at the AVC.

You should like a jealous asshole. Never forget that you have the freedom to not read it and to also fuck right off. If that sounds harsh, I mean it to. You're going around complaining and insulting someone for committing the cardinal sin of writing passionately about something they love on a platform that no one is…

Also, about the 'food talk': are shoestring fries like that common in fine dining? I can't even remember the time I saw them anywhere but in a huge, frozen, Ore Ida bag. Sort of shocked that they didn't have them make the fries that are named after the steak. You're cooking steaks, make steak fries, no?

Favorite/notable moments:

This is my fourth season of watching this show and this is the first time I can remember something like this. Not even for pressure tests versus Kristie from last year were people so blatantly helping out one of the contestants. Gordon or at least dickhead Joe should have said something.

imo, it was a pork pie hat. Hipster dude copping a little Tom Waits style and he wore it poorly.
