I just want to be as lively as Dick Van Dyke is. My grandpa lived to be 94 and he was really only unwell the last five or six months, although he had some scares over the years. The worst part about it for him was that there was no one else he knew with common life experience left so he was lonely. But gambling was…

I have friends who briefly considered merging their names to make a new name. The most obvious combination was ‘Monster’, so that idea was quickly dropped.

I feel that the poutine needs a mention when we’re talking about McDonald’s Canada. Surprisingly acceptable gravy, real cheese curds. Not necessarily the best fries for poutine, but passable. I would rate it a B or B+. There is also the McLobster some places.

Have you been to Las Vegas? I feel like people who like Vegas for the food and entertainment would potentially like Disney World even better. Disney is a theme park rather than a thrill park, so you have to like music and shows and illusions, things like that. I also find the logistics of the whole place fascinating.…

I loved those California Raisins figures! We got them while on vacation in the US so they seemed extra special. I was really into My Little Ponies, Transformers toys, Ninja Turtles, Rainbow Brite, Popples, Pound Puppies, Polly Pockets, Hot Loops, She-Ra, Glow Worms, Faz, Squabbles, you name it. The only one I could…

Yeah, but it usually goes the other way, where you start getting really involved in Daddy Pig’s puddle jumping exploits and you worry about Ruby the Rabbit’s mental health when she’s always the caretaker for Max. Where are their parents? Meanwhile the kids don’t want to watch anything unless it’s 3D or flash…

So it was you! Feel the wrath of my polite Canadian inaction! Judgiiiiing yoooou

The music alone justifies the existence of the trilogy.

I had a few complaints about The Phantom Menace, but I still enjoyed much of it. I do remember liking Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me more. It made this Austin Powers commercial weird in retrospect:

I know! I want it but I have so many other needs for that $100 right now

Too much exposition, feels forced. Done.

Supposedly the guy subscribes to an ideological movement called incel rebellion, or involuntary celibacy rebellion. They are dudes who blame society for the fact that they can’t get laid. That might qualify him as a terrorist

I never got into American Dad, so I hadn’t seen this. It was great!

Ontario politics stink right now. Thinking about it hurts my head.

I doubt the difference is that big between the US, UK and Japan. Japan has gender segregated rail cars for a reason. I suspect that people are less likely to report sexual abuse in Japan.

That cop had his hands all over her. That woman was so calm too, how can they lay charges against her like that?

Is this the complaint spot? I want to point the finger at doctors for not taking women’s complaints seriously, because that is one of the reasons women drop out. It’s like your symptoms don’t matter even if they interfere with your career.

Wait, we’re not supposed to like Juno? I’m new to the avclub

Over the top cheese is more of a personal taste issue than a structural problem in my view. Man of Steel had it’s fair share of cheese, though.

This is pretty random, but no matter where or when, I always tuck in my chair when I get up. I was in the library club in elementary school and high school, where we basically just returned books to their proper place on the shelf and tucked in the chairs. I don’t even think about it anymore, though I am a total slob…
