As a matter of fact, cut the whole “competition” part of the show. It’s unnecessary.

Just have eight or so people craft shit for a few months and then rotate them out and bring in new blood. I just wanna see cool stuff.

How about they keep trying to do 4-way tie-breakers, and the season goes on until they can finally choose one person (which they can’t), so the series just keeps going on with ever-cooler and more amazing creations. I’d watch.

Yeah the food was good, which I wouldn’t necessarily assume since they advertise up and down the highway about how they’re going to fling bread at you and not much else.

SUCH a sick day movie — I associate Ever After and the original BBC Pride and Prejudice miniseries with gray winter afternoons spent wrapped up in a blanket on the couch. I love any entertainment that features empowered intelligent female characters in empire-waist gowns.

Didn't have to, but look at how fucking easy it was.

I was gonna ask you what foods go good with a bitter beer, but I figured that’s googlable. And I found this really cool chart.

“L’esprit de l’escalier” has such a great visual component. I can always picture some guy walking down a staircase - it’s a pretty fancy one, in my mind - gradually slowing until he comes to a full stop, his expression changing. Then he lets out a little “Guh!” and throws up his hands as he realises how great his…

“I AIN’T GONNA FEYA LIKE SOME PUSSY QUEAH! FE-YAH’S A WICKED MINEKILLAH! FEYA’S LIKE DETH OR SOME SHIT, AN’ I GOTTA FACE IT LIKE A MAN AND KICK IT RIGHT’N THE FUCKIN’ BAWLS!” ~ Marky Mark Atraydees, Dune

“They who control da f**king spice control da whole motherf**king univahse. Youknowwhatimsayin’?”

And Berg was once planning a Dune adaptation. We could have had a Marky Muad’Dib, with a Funky Fremen Bunch.

Treppenwitz, when you come up with a snappy retort hours or days after the fact. We at The Takeout experience treppenwitz every we miss a great pun

He’s an insane anti-vaxxer. What’s going on with him is he’s apparently an idiot.

Harrison was the coolest Beatle by far; probably the most talented, too. Fight Me.

Oh yeah?

Worth it.
