Wait, standing to wipe is weird?

It says everything that I can’t be 100% sure if this is a direct quote or you doing a bit.

They must know something we don’t.

And picking Phillips over Carter would be worse.

If you ever want to get them back, just say the name β€œCraig” within earshot. It drives them insane.

I was cleaning out the fridge today and found a jar of curry paste that expired in 2014. That means it moved house with us ten years ago, already well past its peak.

Your job is to pick the worst possible actor to play James Bond. Go!

Me, right now. And it’s not even an action scene.

This is the first time in 30 years I have thought about beer balls.

Man, they all seem to have started treating fast food like American haute cuisine like the boss does.

I think the impact is less about the games themselves and more about who is entrusted to conduct the verification. If it's a sketchy company who asks for way too much like with the under-16 social media ban, that's unacceptable.

My β€œI’m not saying they’re making it up” t-shirt has people asking questions already answered by the shirt.

Greg Kinnear called me a "real weirdo".

James Doohan as Scotty sits at a control console aboard the USS Enterprise, wearing a red Starfleet uniform with a black collar and a delta insignia on his chest. He leans slightly forward with one hand resting on the console, his dark hair neatly combed to the side. Behind him are colorful control panels and futuristic set walls characteristic of the original Star Trek series bridge.

James Doohan wasn’t just Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, he was also a Canadian who served his country and landed on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Then he turned to acting, was trained by Lorne Greene and even helped develop the Klingon language.
This is his story.

This sounds frustrating and delightful.

The Pitt ep 8 is basically a GenX nostalgia trip/letter to the young’ns and I am here for it.

I know for sure it's NOT coaching staff officially announced. That might be Week 5.

Peppino's in Somerdale, NJ. An old-school red sauce joint with veal parmesan as big as your face. The owner, who could have passed for Roberto Begnini, was also the only waiter, and his mom was the bedroom slipper-wearing chef. They closed because the owner's back gave out. My favorite place.

I don’t think Tina understands hashtags.

I’ll never understand how you can be selfish for not dedicating your life to a theoretical person.

Putting the utter hilarity of this aside for a second, how in the world is a concoction made of ground beef and rice "low-calorie"?

The problem with having a very games industry-heavy feed is that I am introduced to tons of great games I will never have time to play.

Bang on. It's like when they ask "But the taxes are so high!" First, not really. Second, yes, but I get to go to the doctor and also buy groceries.

Same! I watched and loved S1 when it was new, and am only watching the rest now. S2 was nonsense, the movie was fine, S3 is disappointing through 7 eps. I am thinking the payoff is not coming and this just isn’t for me.

I asked my wife (with little hope) if she wanted to see Iron Maiden with me. She told me to play her a song, which I did. She replied - 30 seconds in - β€œThey sound like Spinal Tap. Are they being serious?”

Reader, I will be attending alone.
