You are 100% right on two points: 1) that song kicks ass, and 2) the Fustercluck expansion was lame as fuck. It was short, dull, and not nearly as engaging as the two that preceded it, which were really good and worth the price of the DLC on their own even excluding the fairly competent Handsome Jackpot. The…

I’m with Alexandra- the PS4 has been the largest waste of money I’ve ever spent on a console, and I’ve purchased practically every Sega, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony console released between 1983 and today. Super enjoyed played Spider-Man on it, but that was seriously the only experience I could have ever had there…

Arcade’s Revenge was, indeed, a TERRIBLE game, and should have been mentioned here (it was brutally hard and I never finished it) but Gambit’s Theme from that game is some of the best video game music I’ve heard from any game in my life- and just so happens to be my ringtone. The Follin brothers really knew what they…

What, exactly, would have been the point of that, assuming the Senate ever actually took a recess that would have allowed him to do that? Per NLRB v. Canning he clearly would have had the authority to do so, but that appointee would have only been able to serve until the end of the following Senate session, and then…

Just because your tags are expired doesn’t mean that you car is uninsured. I am often quite negligent in renewing my tags, and there have been periods of time where they have been expired for many weeks, but I have never, ever driven while uninsured because that’s just stupid. At most, an expired tag is a standard,…

I swear to god I can’t watch Barack Obama speak without crying for what we’ve had, what we’ve lost and what we might be. Love that guy.

Oh and by the way Ash, Jason would be your second cousin, which is still a cousin!

Alright all you whippersnappers; my gaming buddy was my best dude Oliver, and in the sixth grade circa 1982/83 we were fixtures as this pool hall/arcade around the corner from his house called Family Billiards. While they had the stand up vector Star Wars arcade cabinet, Pac Man and Ms. Pacman (as well as really sweet…

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…
