I’m in a similar boat — I’ve seen none of them, never heard of 16 of them before this list, and, of the nine I’d previously heard of, four of those I only know from seeing mentions of them by people in the context of year-end “Best Films” lists, so it’s more “meta-awareness” than actually knowing anything about them.

Sorry,the behavior of the priest and coach were both bad, but I can’t get past the fact that they named their kid “house” in French....

Except that I don’t have any issue with those ingredients. (And that example is kind of funny — Southern Comfort Eggnog is my wife’s favorite eggnog.)

I love eggnog, but it’s absolutely not worth making your own. There are very good commercially-available eggnogs that don’t really cost much more than what the ingredients would cost to make your own.

and immediately thought of Mr.Tickle, noted kid’s book, um, orb with wiggly arms.

They divested themselves of Fleshbot years ago, pal.

My wife and I are some of those people who can’t tell a difference. I’ve experimented with toggling it off and on for my TV and I recognize something is happening only because I’m absolutely focused on trying to see it and even that may just be subconsciously prompted by the fact that I’m the one adjusting the setting.…

Curse you “Featured Articles” ribbon!

I’m not upset at Ali, but this is pretty “heads-I-win-tails-you-lose” reporting given the number of times media outlets have gotten reamed out around here or on sister blogs for allegedly failing to raise racial issues in connection with reporting on POC public figures. (And that’s to say nothing of the number of…

In other matters that don’t count for a hill of beans, why had he been drinking ginger ale for a decade? Is Reich America dry or something? I could be forgetting something from season 1....

it seems that nearly everyone is pissed at Amazon right now.

Amazing how the republican party, which was always about small government, now wants to impose all these tariffs to influence the free market.

Having fewer spaces than the official board is a very common feature of specialty Monopoly games. It’s presumably intended to speed up play. (Just like most specialty Monopoly games get rid of the idea of house/hotel building and are just about buying the base properties.)
