according this article, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been turned into a german christmas bread (stollen). spelling errors i usually let slide (yeah, i dont like hitting tab or the apostrophe key in online forums), but getting the name of the city AND county wrong in a few places is not a good look. especially…

we were at a restaurant that snuck a 3% charge to our bill with the note “a three percent charge has been added to your bill. it can be removed upon request.” i asked the server what it was and he replied, “thats something they have added to cover business lost during covid. i can remove that if you wish.”
“do you get…

also the first part of that: “I talked to Eddie Murphy about it, and Eddie wanted to play Batman,” says Murphy ...”

i get it, you are typing about murray asking murphy, its easy to mix up those two names, but come on...murphy says he talked to murphy? i guess the chicago style of writing is dead...

that opening line...

maybe he actually said “he’s got bette davis eyes” and they misheard.

maybe they didnt want pete and mulaney together again? i know mulaney was supposed to be petes grounding force, but i think petes gravity may have been too much for mulaney, leading to his spiral. but i could be way off.

i appreciate your honest discussion of grade inflation. any movie that got above a B- made me think it might be good. i will miss both your reviews on this platform and the batshit crazy comments flaming you for speaking your opinion on something as subjective as art. or, in the case of Replicas, “art.”

now, what about Sunny Gummy Bear?

i love the story from that years producer. paraphrasing: “that stage was slick like ice to begin with. and hes in those platform heeled boots. then it starts to rain. i was so worried about prince hurting himself. i went up and said, ‘prince. its starting to rain a little.’ he responded, ‘can you make it rain harder?’”

orrr the butterfly controlling charlie had at one time lived within a human and took the knowledge to the gorilla. it is not true speech, but more noise that “sounds” like talking. basically, the butterfly doing the best it can with the meatpuppet it has. 

the intel story coupled with the versa article remind me of this weeks episode of american auto...

my guess is murn is a bad butterfly taking out “good” butterflies. it will make the killing of the butterfly children a bit harder on peacemaker and vigilante.

a butterfly has to have taken over that silverback gorilla, right?

i was trying to figure out why i dont really feel invested in this series/character, especially after being obsessed with boba fett since receiving him in the mail way back when. at first i thought it was because Mandolarian pretty much scratched that itch. While i wasnt blown away by Grogu, at least there was an…

i want david pasquesi to be the mayor. he pretends he is delivering messages from the mayor, but is, in fact, the mayor. maybe working in concert with stephen root.

i want more of the amusement park. i love how all the rides have cutouts of the children. set design must have had a field day. but is this an amusement park just for the gemstones, like neverland? nobody is ever there. i dont recall it from season 1. part of me wonders if they added it as a nod to succession...

points for the track bike reference. i think some companies were playing with a way to get in the chainring centered (think of the chainring running like a wheel in the rear triangle), but the BB/chain stay/seat tube/down ube interface was too much to get around.

man, i was was really hoping for a tie, mostly so i dont have to listen to any more big ben stroking from the booth.

personally, and this is just me, i would ditch the history-making fork and get a carbon fork up front, with a disc mount. i would run disc up front and v in the back - a true old-school mullet.

gutfiddle, is that you?
