Hot take:

I really and truly hate Christmas music. All of it. Any of it. Fight me.

Makes me feel like I’m Doc Holliday drinkin’ straight whiskey at the saloon.

If you’re ever southbound on 83 and see a silver S6, wave. It’s probably me. (There aren’t many of them in the area, regardless of color.)

Hmm ...me, too. (Formerly Antioch, now Libertyville, just sticking close to 94 if at all possible.)

99% sure I referenced that in the original article. Still a classic. (If I were better at the internet, I would have included the picture that you did ...you win!)

Looks like the newer generation of Illinois plates. I’ll wave if I see you. (What ...it’s only 58k sq mi.)

25# of potatoes peeled, grated, squeezed (gotta get that water content way down for a proper fry), and pancaked. Saturday was a good day.

We cover the counter in paper (newspaper if we’ve got it, paper shopping bags if not). I wear in ill-fitting apron (because my wife thinks it’s hilarious and I do’t want to stain any…

re: Fiat Wheels ...

In the fantastic Schroedinger’s Cat Trilogy by R. A. Wilson, there’s a section in which he describes Hell.

All of this can be rectified by changing one single thing: order the Domino’s thin crust instead of “traditional”.

I am not from the northeast, I am not a thin pizza guy. That said, the Domino’s thin crust (which is crispy, not floppy) is damned good. I would be stunned if it didn’t annihilate each of the other four in…

Goddamnit, Hans ...take your star.

Yep. That’s 100% a concrete form or HD shipping tube or something like that.

I’m not even sure how long it’s been since I saw the unedited version. Bravo, good sir!

OMG this. All of this.

My wife (one of five girls) inherited Omi’s vintage German china set. I believe it is also for 12, not 8, as yours is. It’s ballpark 100 years old (grandma came to the US in 1938 or 1939 to escape Nazis) and it’s fragile as hell and it’s useless and it’s gorgeous.

It takes up SO much space. It’s…

In black, with the High Wing ...I really like it.

Am I okay? Should I get checked out? (Price is 100% CP for me, but I still like the design.)

That’s all gonna go away (maybe). The company that owns Arby’s announced they are acquiring BWW for $2.4B.

Arby’s is not good.

No no no no no no no no.

Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Dune is the only way to go. It sounds completely, totally insane. (And it would be awesome.)

Seriously, if you haven’t watched the documentary, go find it (Hulu, Vudu, Amazon, Netflix - someone has to have it). You’ll be begging for someone to make it just so you can watch that movie.

I hate my current toaster but won’t get rid of it until it dies. It refuses to croak, much to my displeasure.

Why would anyone want a fucking honey-flavored cheese curl? I’m gonna eat a dozen more bags and get to the bottom of this phenomenon.
