here’s a question: there was apparently a large B&W “artifact edition” hardcover put out by iDW in 2015 or ‘16. does anyone know if this book is:

there’s a great story out there - which i probably first encountered on the comments here, back when Tasha Robinson interviewed him for The AVClub in olden time days.

ScottyEnn: despite the length of this post, i don’t have a personal dog in this fight and am only going on about it because you asked nicely and seem genuinely curious. so this is my take on things, as someone who has watched the whole mess unfold since i was a teen buying comics from the drugstore spinner and…

i know complaining about the copy-editing around here is a lost cause but doesn’t the comma placement in

there’s a place here in town that is centered on serving hot dogs (although i guess they call them “dawgs”) and i stopped in for a late lunch today on my way home from a doctor’s appointment, since i read on here that it was supposed to be National Hot Dog Day and i figured, eh, why not?

THIS all day long. dude and everyone around him is just trying to feverishly deflect from the real problems facing him.

no offense, but adding $2.50 to a $95 bill is NOT the same as adding $2.50 to each and every burger on the menu - it’d be more reasonable to say they’d raise the price of the burger from $9 to $9.25, since that’s probably about what the cost per burger would break down to, in order to wind up with a $2.50 surcharge on…

yeah, i mean it was just the plot of the latest Jack Reacher novel.

i was making a pretty good dent in FALL, the latest Neal Stephenson, but i hit a wall about 3/4 through and haven’t been back to it for almost two weeks now, partly because i didn’t want to lug it on vacation to the cottage my wife dragged me to over the fourth of july... maybe today is the day i pick it back up again!

oh, i’m not under any illusion those cereals are healthier - i just happen to like the way all of them taste. most of the “kiddie” cereals just seem cloying to me now, although i’d be lying if i said Corn Pops and their various faux representatives weren’t still considered a direct neurotransmitter to memories of…

i had the BK taco yesterday and it was... okay. the cheese was shredded, NOT just a slice of burger cheese. the meat didn’t taste terribly greasy, although it looked like it would be at first. the mandatory taco sauce was a nice hit of flavor without having to go to the trouble of adding it yourself. the shell was a li…

the text says WalMart has the sale, but the illustration and the top line both say Amazon has the deal - which is it?

sit her down in front of EXORCIST III - that movie is full of creepy shit.

it wasn’t really the movie itself but the first time the ex-wife and i watched THE RING, our telephone rang just as the credits were rolling. which, if you remember the film, is not a welcome coincidence. we both shrieked and refused to pick up, letting the answering machine handle it.

i thought the ACA did away with all that pre-existing condition nonsense?

would stirring in a few drops of the sauce keep the noodles from clumping? ordinarily i’d say a spoon or so of oil but i’m most familiar with the cheapo 25 cent ramen noodles, which are usually deep-fried and slightly oily anyway. (whenever i make actual udon or soba noodles, i eat ‘em hot with broth because that’s…

as someone who grew up along the shores of Lake Michigan, descending into smokey bars and church basements and Vets clubs for a deep fried plank of perch, i would love it if these guys could replicate the taste and texture of one of these things on the cheap.

so here’s my question: how come Cracklin’ Oat Bran NEVER goes on sale? ever?! it also apparently NEVER goes stale or anything, since it’s never priced down on clearance either. we rotate amongst three or four different grocery stores fairly regularly and it just doesn’t happen. every other cereal in the aisle…

what’s the deal with attorney general barr and fazoli’s in that cartoon? this isn’t some fucked up pizzagate riff, is it?

Sheetz gas stations sell all three, made to order. i gotta say, Sheetz is pretty great at like 3AM, on your way back from a drive-in movie in the middle of rural Ohio.
