Michael Jackson was a rapist and a pedophile; had he not managed to kill himself like a dumbass if the universe was a just place he should most definitely at this very moment should be alive and spending the rest of his life in prison doing hard time for the aforementioned pedophilia and cavalcade of rapes. Having…

I’ve loved Bela’s work for decades- thank you for this. The piece they play at 2:47 (Big Country) is one of my faves from BF&TFT’s Left of Cool, which is now a mind-boggling 22 years old.... What I find hilarious is that I had front row seats to see him & the Flecktones a few years back, and I totally recognize…

Yes but the absolute WRONG version- it’s Nina Simone or gtfo

+1 for the Sea Captain joke

Sooooo when I was eleven we got HBO and, unbeknownst to my parents, I would watch any movie that even remotely had the promise of boobs in it- I cannot BEGIN to tell you the number of R rated flicks that I sat through (A Passage to India! The Big Chill!) that ultimately a) bored the shit out of me and b) seriously did…

Amazingly gifted writer- horrible, horrible racists dick. As a black man I read his books mostly to spite him; he’d be rolling over in his grave at the thought of me sitting here among the second generation of my family to have graduate degrees and success in America. 

The opening battle scene appeared to be a conflict between humanity from across time and aliens and/or interdimensional beings (I guess those would be the same thing). The hats and trenches reminded me of WWI but I think it was supposed to capture the feel of the John Carter books, which, by the way, are bananas. 

My understanding is that the woman he was calling was in Korea (where he was fighting in the Korean War) and was an ex-lover maybe? Sounded sorta ominous, but then again why would you call spooky ex-girlfriend to catch up in an era where that call probably cost the equivalent of $78.... I immensely enjoyed the entire…

This looks amazeballs as usual, Allison. Graham cracker pancakes are the bomb- when we were on lockdown I took Cook’s Illustrated’s recipe for them, added chocolate chips and topped with freshly whipped cream flavored with toasted marshmallow syrup to make something approximating S’mores pancakes, and they were…

1) I’ve been a cooking enthusiast for literally decades and I DID NOT KNOW THIS. Thank you for teaching me something new! 2) Duck fat rocks

So many gray hairs. Sigh.

“Why would you buy pubes... when you can get your own pubes.... for free?” I’m dying.

Oh and thanks for getting me out of the greys after seven faded years! Made my day.

Doesn’t it? Without a doubt my favorite ice cream currently. Making a special trip to Columbus so I can hit up one of their retail stores to try all of the flavors that aren’t available in my area...

It really, really is. I’ll readily admit that I love food and am the first person to try all KINDS of stuff that turns out to be horrific (see Lay’s Nashville Hot Chicken Potato Chips- even the dog didn’t like them) but it was immediately obvious why they did it after I tasted it. They also make a flavor that is a…

Holy shit no way, you too?? At least you were a kid. Not gonna tell you how old I was...

Agreed! I’m from Cincinnati, and we’re famous for Graeter’s (which is quite good) but if you ask me the best Ohio ice cream is found in Columbus. If you haven’t tried the Cream Puff, you haven’t lived.

It is the bomb, even as it confuses my poor palate. Jeni’s is as smooth and creamy as silk; I imagine they sift the particulates out. I might just try that!

There’s a company in my state (Jeni’s) that makes a popcorn ice cream (“Sun-Popped Corn”) that is similarly weird but grew on me extremely quickly; took me two pints to pin it down but eventually I figured out it was dead on Kellogg’s Corn Pops. Still can’t believe I like it every time I eat it.
