There's a group of guys I'm friends with who all went to high school together, they love it. Their complaint is that it takes so long that it's easy to lose focus.

It's keeping almost all original music (the streaming version will not change from the generic, though).

Those are the things I can't do without!

Watching The Simpsons. Though I finally gave it up this year.

I only know minimal asl, but the words I knew were accurately translated.

It's Gerald. Unibrow baby is named Gerald.

Does scotch count? Loooooove me some Laphroig 10 or 15. Tastes like smoke (in a good way).
