In addition to the action making sense visually in those movies you cite, the action makes sense from a standpoint of who’s performing it.  The other thing that drives me crazy about the Marvel movies, aside from the cgi visual mush, is the fact that these are all superhumans with crazy powers and access to…

But instead of being all urbane and refined, somehow his son is super blue collar.  This thing writes itself!

When the Phillies had their sweet-ass playoff run a few years back, I had a partial season ticket plan (and a bunch of friends who regularly bought tix), so I had access to a bunch of playoff tickets. Since they jack up prices, I couldn’t afford them all, so I had to choose games strategically (which meant that you…

K2, dude.  You make a gnarly run like that, and the girls will get sterile just looking at you.

After college I lived in employee housing with 7 other people. It got gross, and my boss ordered us to do a serious cleaning. That night, my co-workers/roommates bailed on me, so I begrudgingly took responsibility. Because I was bitter at having to do it all, I started drinking. It was the most fun I’ve ever had…

If you see her again, tell her that some internet commenter who used to work near her says “hey.”

Hey, I know her, and had no idea she was running for office.  At my old job I worked a few cubicles down from her (for a different org though).  She’s very nice, and though we never talked politics, I’m 95% sure that she wasn’t the one who occasionally would take one of my apples from the fridge.  She therefore gets…

I dunno, this dude was a supporter of Civil Rights and seems to have a pretty solid record (Trigg’s dipshit father, on the other hand....)

This is a solid list and includes many of the regulars in our current rotation. My daughter and wife love Gerald, but it bugs me that the animals who were initially total dicks to Gerald never apologize to him or do anything to make up for their behavior. I demand comeuppance!

Also, the other Margaret Wise Brown book…

They fooled me, Jerry!

He can bullshit about all he wants as many ridiculous projects as he wants as long as those solar shingles that look just like slate tiles turn out to be the real deal and affordable.  Man, that would be a game changer for my old-ass house.

That bottom video was basically the equivalent of “Gabbo is Coming.” Let’s hope this new show is as willing to speak truth to power as Gabbo was (all the kids in Springfield are, in fact, S.O.B.s).

Don’t have it handy to check, but I remember a lot of the dialogue being right from the book.

That’s bad, but not as bad as that stealth sponsored content by Smuckers and the National Peanut Council about the NBA that ran in ESPN the Magazine a little while back.

Meh, it’s been done:

The whole Ilex genus is great! Tough plants that can thrive in a wide variety of habitats (as you’ve noted). One of my favorite shrubs is inkberry holly (Ilex glabra). Plus hollies support at least 46 different species of butterflies and moths that use them as a host plant (which then supports the bird population, and…

Hmm, I wonder how Ali would feel about NFL anthem protests today. Since he’s not with us, I can only assume from everything I know about him that he’d consider the protestors sons-of-bitches that should lose their jobs and be kicked out of the country.

I knew America’s hard-working journalists would come through for me.

I’d love to see the video from that woman’s pink phone - presumably it would be a nice shot of that doofus’s mug getting snout-smacked. Some reporter needs to track her down.
