He’s definitely a hit at all the parties he never gets invited to.

And priggishness should be chastised.

When I see the words “veggie hot dogs” I understand exactly what I’m buying -a hot dog shaped product made from plant-matter that will taste similar to, but not exactly like, a hot dog. It’s a pretty clear label to everyone who isn’t personally invested in not understanding what meat alternatives are.

Question - can I use chorizo?

They differentiate between people who watched within three days of the episode (live+3) and people who watched within a week (live+7), so I’m assuming you have to actually watch it.

He spent almost a decade doing fake interviews where the joke was that he wasn’t listening to his guest. It takes time to unlearn that.

Word nerd time! ‘Histrionics’ isn’t sexist. It sounds a lot like ‘hysterical’ which does have a sexist etymology, but ‘histrionics’ comes from the Latin histrionics - ‘actor’.

I too, recall all the times I have seen someone arrested because they were waiting for the third member of their party show up. That is a totally normal thing.

Germany, you are the birthplace of so many great dogs: ; the Great Dane; the Doberman; weirdly enough, the American Eskimo. And yet you chose to honor the Dachshund. No sale.

Dominoes will make pizza with gluten-free dough. I know because I once worked with a dude who had Celiac’s and there was always a special pizza for him.

Ben Bova summed it up years ago - you can’t argue with people believe in woo because the only response you’ll get is “all I know is, I got better.”

What do you do if you can’t order an alcoholic drink for reasons. Which I will not be able to do in a week or two because tomorrow is the big day, the biggest day of my life, so I won’t actually see the response to this, just asking for everyone.

It’s cobbled together from like four different recipes and I don’t have it written down, I just kind of know how to do it. I’ll put it together and the give you a reply over at LGM so I know you saw it.

Thank god they have the picture there, because, if it wasn’t, I would have looked at that text and assumed they had ketchup chips in Moscow.

It angers me so much because my teaching style is very much “like a big kid,” but you know what I never do? Prey on my students. Because I’m just playing at being a big kid. They actually are kids.

There’s an Italian place near where I grew up that’s really really good. Great food, giant portions, everything comes with an unending supply of delicious garlic knots.

When I lived in DC there was a little place near me that served a mix of Scandinavian and Eastern European food, which sounds weird, but trust me, it worked. They had aquavit Blood Marys. They were amazing.

 I tutored for a kid at a high-priced boarding school, and I let him push the session time back so he could go to golf practice. That meant they would make him a packaged dinner to eat while I taught him, and not like a PBJ, just whatever they had served that day kept warm and boxed up. It still looked gross.

Lots of meat substitutes are tasty. They don’t taste the same as meat, but they can be tasty in their own right. I eat meat, but, if I find a meat substitute I like, I’ll eat that too, because why not.

He’s not weirdly obsessed with Rachel, “make sure Rachel doesn’t do anything crazy” was the job he was told he was signing on for.
