Oh but Chicken Boo is my favorite, because... well, he’s a man-sized chicken who dresses like a dude and no one can tell in spite of his barnyard avian features. It is absurdity of epic proportions, as dumb as all hell and just thinking about the theme song in my head is enough to crack me up.

The Copperhead is one of the only concept cars I can remember by name, and I loved the sweet iridescent paint job it had. What a super cool, fun car that was- a fact that probably made it totally clear Chrysler had no business making it.

I think because it’s all so fucking bananas that the details get lost in the noise of all other horribleness. It’s so big that you just have to step back, blink several times and reexamine to even begin to fully comprehend all the ways that it is horrible. This particular way just got lost. While I’ve never watched an…

Can’t believe I couldn’t put that together myself. That’s probably why a lot of my early crusts were total failures; warming the butter logically seems like it could lead to a loss of elasticity and more frequent tearing. I need to think harder about stuff. :/ Thanks for the info!

That was pretty cool!

Gotta admit; had to google Pâté sucrée, as I had no idea what it was- but when I did I discovered that the secret to it is chilling the dough twice, once after you form it into a disk and again after you roll it out into shape. The ingredients are a bit different, but that’s exactly how Cook’s tells you to handle it,…

Why is that better than a non-frozen rolling pin? Genuinely curious.

Me too!!! Cook’s Illustrated/America’s Test Kitchen turned me on to the sour cream addition when I was making their recipe for double crusted chicken pot pie, and, as person who has struggled MIGHTILY with crusts in the past that have torn/fallen apart if you looked at them wrong, I was shocked at how pliable, elastic…

My all-time favorite case of totally legit-ness is this Jamaican burger joint that I totally missed the opportunity to go to on my first visit to Jamaica in ‘95, and alas and alack by the time I returned in ‘16 it was gone. I remember cutting this ad out of a magazine because it was so amazing, but I lost it…

Similarities? 

Clearly he confused coronavirus reporting with the Fox/conservative media reporting on the “migrant caravans”, which literally did disappear immediately after the 2018 election, almost as though it was invented out of whole cloth to scare people into voting for R’s. Meanwhile, 150K infections a day later....

Gotta admit... did. not. see. that. coming. at. all. How sheltered, privileged, and confused you must be to become a gay, black Trump supporter. I’m figuring the only logical way that black person could support Trump is if said black person was extraordinarily rich and cared only about increasing his or her enormous we…

Agreed- the oven in my basement has been in my family for 45 years and moved with my mom and dad to no fewer than three houses, and still works. I’ve had my car since 2010 (and it is starting to look its age) but I need it to last until my kids finish college, so hopefully some longevity luck will rub off on it....

Can we do it later? I’m having too much fun dunking on them and readying the popcorn for when the White House fails to reverse the outcome of the election and they’re just beside themselves with grief.

In my long and tortured history of working out, there have only been a few times I have been able to find someone whose schedule was sufficiently close to mine that we could work out “together” (i.e. go to the gym at the same time and get our shit done). We were kinda/sorta consistent for a few months, but ultimately,…

I’m all-in. I’ve bought every single Pikmin and thoroughly enjoy them all; there is something so Zen about it that hits me square in the OCD... I just love it. What I’m most excited about is that my DAUGHTER is excited about it so maybe I’ll have someone to play co-op with!!

I’ve seen both films, and I remember practically every bit of AWiL, but remember practically none of the Howling- so it’s gotta be the former. It was scary, funny, gross, and I remember being just totally blown away by the special effects- and I can’t ever remember the plot of the Howling without visiting its IMDB.…

I guess that since I’ve been lucky enough to have a computer that only I use I don’t have that issue- that, and I think porn has been normalized to the point where I’m not exactly ashamed of the fact that I watch it on occasion. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not out there advertising my kinks to the universe and I’d super…

Why on earth are we hiding porn on our computers in the first place? As there is such an abundance of it on the internet, I have never felt the need to save my “favorites”- plenty of places out there to see genitals flying around every which way.

I loved everything about this article. Heartwarming, informative, and funny. This is why I love The Takeout.
