It’s not just the vocals. There are plenty of people out there who can sing, and while she’s decent she doesn’t have the pipes of a Houston/Streisand or a truly gifted singer. What distinguishes her is that she is involved in the granular details of practically everything that she does- the lyrics, the music, the…

Agreed. As a member of a demographic that is decidedly NOT her target audience (male, black, straight, approaching 50) I watched her film and came away with the inescapable conclusion that she is supremely gifted with artistic vision, musical and physical ability (even though she appears to be slightly frail). It’s…

Bought a pair of Waygu (5) steaks frozen from Costco for $99lb- single most expensive food purchase I’ve ever made- and I’m still, a month later, deathly afraid to cook them and have no idea how to proceed. Sous vide, which is my normal method, seems like it will miss the mark.... time to check out Serious Eats.

I, for one, frequently need to replenish my ion supply so I should totally check out this beverage. 

OMG I absolutely should, you are a fucking genius. Thank you.

If Pamplin was doing my local news I might actually consider watching it.

It’s pretty good, but there was a reason they abandoned it and went with what they serve in every single one of their stores- it evolved into something better- but it is a curiosity you should try when you visit Cincy and take me up on my offer of Skyline. Being on keto means I don’t get to eat much in the way of…

That’s so odd- as a teenager I stole a Pizza Hut glass jar of parmesan, a jar of red pepper flakes, and the little wicker basket they came in. To this day I have no idea just what the fuck I was thinking.

Have you tried the 1921 slider? It’s aggressively not bad.

Have to admit, was pleasantly suprised by the fact that Mango Pepsi (at least the zero sugar variety) was actually 1) drinkable and 2) something that I’d drink more than once. I plan on finishing the twelve pack I bought. 

As someone who couldn’t wait to play “Yar’s Revenge” on his friend’s Atari when I was in the sixth grade I can only tell you that it just gets worse, as that was nearly FORTY YEARS AGO. 

I normally hate slideshows. I did not hate this one. Nice work. :)

Great interview!! Wish it had had more Snoopy voice; oftentimes I’ve thought that Snoopy’s voice was the funniest things about the Peanuts specials. Also they totally made the right choice to record his voice the old way, McGurrin gets close but is not quite there when it comes to nailing it without the audio trick.

I remember this show being on when I was around eight, and literally the only thing I remember about it was the theme song and the pain look on Claude Akins face when his deputies fucked up all of those cars. The trash that got made in those days was pure 100% uncut amazing. 

Extremely disappointed to not learn that said canceling in no way involved bolts of lightning and/or flesh eating locust.

Counterpoint: here are ten or so of the greatest named streets in America. Except for J. Strom Thurmond highway, because- 100% fuck that guy.

Ask any lawyer with a pulse and two glial cells how advanced degrees do not equal intelligence and they will point to a dozen attorneys they know who you wouldn’t allow to change a toilet paper roll in a Texas truck stop let along represent you or anyone else in any capacity. Advanced degrees mean that someone put in…

Regionally, the best fish sandwich in my southern Ohio neighborhood is suprisingly from Frisch’s Big Boy. It is perfect, and has been for decades. Haven’t tried the Popeye’s one as of now (damn you keto diet) but it’s usually my go-to. 

Gotta admit, this is the first time ever that I have heard something from McDonald’s (or any major fast food chain) referred to as “too spicy”. As a black dude, I typically classify spicy levels as White People Spicy (WPS), Black People Spicy (BPS), and Asian People Spicy (APS). WPS typically is the spice level found…

Ahh Rare, one of my all-time fave 90's developers- I swear, for a while there just about everything they released for the N64 was either near great or just plain great- sharp, funny, witty, clever, and engrossing. Then... the fucking wheels fell off. I found Star Fox Adventures, which as far as I know was their last…
