Who?

I think the biggest problem Uwe Boll aside is in many cases they try to fit to much into a single movie. A 8 or 20 hour game is REALLY hard to distill into a 2 hour movie. There is just to much to cover. The ones that work best, Sonic and Detective Pikachu take parts of the game world and build around that, and if it…

Say what you want, but to this day the original Mortal Kombat film is still one of the best video game-to-movie adaptations produced by Hollywood.

Hot take: I think Kim’s Convenience is better than Schitts Creek overall.

Never heard of that.  Grew up in the southwest and now in Dallas, but I’ve lived all over the country (and in different parts of the world).  While it sounds odd, it also sounds kinda good.   Let us know how it tastes!

Pan fried mashed potatoes for breakfast are a treat.

it should be Flat Matt, not Flat Matthew...

Why does he hate it?  I used it a little bit as I was fishing around for texting apps a few years ago.  Ultimately decided on something else but remember it being a ‘finalist’ in my own personal showdown.

Or indeed a school kid in the ‘70s! That’s about the only way I can eat a bologna sandwich.

Ecto-Cooler or GTFO

This, to me, is a very good lunch

I lost 60 lbs on keto two years ago - put back on 20 (namely thanks to the pandemic) and just restarted it. I really enjoy the diet and never really found it pricey - my big problem is just a partner who doesn’t have the same diet and having to navigate that (as the one who cooks in the house)

I still hold the Whopper up as the MVP of the burger.  (Minimum Viable Product, I should clarify).  If a burger is not as good as a Whopper, I don’t need to bother with it.  Controversially, I count 5 Guys as sub-Whopper.  McDonald’s?  Hell no.  Culver’s, maybe...

When it comes to “separating art from the artist”, what piece of pop culture gave you a particularly hard choice?  

What basic life skill are you worst at?

Yeah, if you read the original books, he is reading them to his son. He makes his son a character and then all of the other characters are his dolls.

So many great ideas here. I especially like creating a “bottle episode” with previous bedtime stories. Thanks for the ideas!

I’ve done this a lot with my younger kids. The littlest was into some kind of obscure characters from a weird Netflix series I’d never seen any of. He’d ask for a story about these weird characters and then he’d tell me to include other characters from other shows, and it turns into a fanfic mashup of weird characters…

My kids are super into geography, so what we’ll do for bedtime stories is pretend we have a vehicle that can travel anywhere in the world (usually a private jet, or a yacht, or a motorhome that can turn into a yacht and a private jet and a submarine, or sometimes a time machine, depending on which kid is helping with…

My Dad made up stories about our cat, Waldo, when I was young. I honestly can’t remember much of the details about them, but I resumed the tradition when my kids were born and told stories about our cat Fluffy (a 4 pound female who was a total badass) to my daughter and used hand puppets of Gidney and Cloid, the moon…
