This one isn’t a parody - it’s a clear attempt to cash-in on Dylan’s popularity - but it’s got a bit of goofiness hidden amidst the sheer ass-kicking awesomeness:

You’re missing Ranch Water (which, admittedly, is localized to Texas): Tequila, Topo Chico, lime wedge. Refreshing buzz ahoy...

There is one fast food chain that does very good char-grilled burgers, which put BK’s to shame - Back Yard Burgers. They’re concentrated in Mississippi and Tennessee, with a smattering of locations in nearby states. Definitely worth checking out.

100% agreed. She was fantastic in that.

When your little fright freak hits their ninth birthday, you can probably start breaking out more mature, live action movies with horror elements. Movies like… Gremlins

Exactly; I immediately thought of the Mooch when I saw the sketch.

I’ve trained my family to lift their feet whenever we drive over railroad tracks... you know, so the car won’t get stuck on the tracks.

Excellent list! It’s funny; that period between the day the music died and the Beatles on Ed Sullivan is often seen as a dead period in popular music, but there’s tons of great stuff there. I’d also add:

*Pedantry Alert*

there is now a Heinz mayonnaise to go along with Hellman’s and Kraft on your grocery store shelf.

Ha! Exactly. Add in some mustard, and if you want to get REALLY adventurous, throw some paprika up in there!

Yeah, at big cookouts where dogs and burgers are both available, I’ll go with the dog - it’s harder for the cook to screw up a hot dog (and I have some friends, god bless ‘em, who can’t successfully grill anything to save their lives), and a bad hot dog is infinitely better than a bad burger.

Oh, I’m with you; I love them all. But at this point in my life, there’s a certain sense of immediacy to the earlier stuff that, perhaps because of its (for lack of better words) innocence and simplicity really hit me in a powerful way.

The MMT ones are hard to beat, but if we’re talking Beatles, I’ll probably go earlier, and suggest A Hard Days Night/I Should Have Known Better/If I Fell. The Beatles get tons of love, obviously, and for good reason - but I think people today oversell their later stuff and undersell their earlier stuff.

Agreed, though on the... positive (?) side, you’re just as likely to wake up feeling awful the next morning as if you really had gotten fucked up.

Man, 1989's Billboard Top 20 is a gigantic shit sandwich! Will to Power?!? How were they even a thing! I wonder if anybody on earth has listened to that album in the last decade? Or the last two decades? I’d also completely blocked that Chicago track from my mind; yeesh, that thing was bad, and inescapable at the…

Yeah, for best introductions, I would’ve said Rain Dogs, Small Change, and your pick of Mule Variations. I love Nighthawks, but it’s hardly representative of his other work. And Swordfishtrombones is excellent, but I think Rain Dogs is a slightly better starting point (though I’m splitting hairs here). Real Gone...…

Yeah, if I’m doing something quick/thrown-together and need a basic store-bought BBQ sauce, Stubb’s and/or Sweet Baby Ray’s it is; I’ll also use both as condiments here and there. But the idea of buying a “premium” store-bought sauce always seemed a little silly to me; decent barbecue sauce is one of the easiest,…

Boooo! I mean, that looks good, and I’ll probably watch it... but, BOOOOO!
