Anaphylactic shock is THE look for all those holiday parties!

Hold up, you may be on to something. Is Kim selling any of them in her “charity” account?

I wouldn’t have bought them, but agree the boxes make the product look disgusting. For the price her stuff costs, I’d just get MAC instead because I know their product quality is good.

Spec script that! That would be a great episode.

Nope! I always associate it specifically with the Houston area, because that’s where it originated. The school I went to was in a Houston suburb and they were making it there earlier than the slang terms for it took off, if memory serves.

Purple drank is a little more specific subcultural reference, though. It isn’t just grape Kool-Aid, it’s mixed with codeine cough syrup with the sole intention of getting high as fuck. Tastes vile but does the job. Friends of mine in middle school used to make it.

No it isn’t, like the other comments say, it’s a reference to the Jonestown massacre.

YES. There is nothing better than going to a place with no preconceptions and just going with what you find.

It’s the people! Northerners are always the friendliest.

I would be disappointed if it wasn’t filthy.

The Iron Cross emblem actually dates back to the Crusades, but yeah, it was also used by the German army both before and after the Third Reich, as well as a swastika-embellished version being adopted by the Nazis as a military decoration. It actually replaced a swastika in the advertising. In the show, they actually…

Your last point is so true I almost spit water all over my desk.

Doesn’t matter. They give out a Nobel for economics every year. There are lots of Nobel-winning economists, but he specifically told her to go ask the one that is her husband. There is a whole long history of women not being allowed to do anything without the permission of their husbands. THAT is why this is a deeply…

I love Atwood. I got to see her last month at the Texas Book Festival and because the panel was held in the House chamber of the state Capitol, at one point she said she hoped none of us ladies had brought any contraband sanitary items in. It was a total mic drop moment.

It’s specifically because he told her to consult her husband that it’s patronizing.

Apparently it isn’t advocating an actual takeover of America into a Nazi satellite state, therefore it isn’t a political statement and doesn’t violate the rules. Just what I saw quoted somewhere else.

That’s a point, but this is a fictional reimagining of what an emblem created for the eastern states under Nazi control might look like, not an emblem that was ever actually used, as far as I can tell.

Considering that it’s not a swastika, I’m not even sure most Americans would even be aware of the Nazi symbolism unless it’s been pointed out to them, so whatever. Carry on with the outrage, I’ll be over here, doing something else.

Nope, but I have had them with chipotle mayo or garlic aioli.

Cumin? Gahhhh no! I’m from Texas and cumin (or comino, you almost hear it called that more frequently here) is almost strictly a Mexican food-only spice.
