    Maybe unpopular opinion: Pizza Hut didn’t really get worse, your taste got better. 
     

    I say that as a fanatic of 80s and 90s Pixza Hut, I read so many damn books for the free personal pan pizza. I think they maybe tweaked their sauce a bit, but other than that—that shit is the SAME. You can still order pan style and they make it in the same pan. 
     

    You remember it as awesome because if you were alive in Anytown, USA, Pizza Hut was the nicest “night out” place a middle class family went. Pizza was good enough for the grownups, arcade was small and not so loud, they had a salad bar, you sit down and order. It was kind of a real restaurant but the kids are happy. And it really wasn’t that cheap. 
     

    When Applebees and Chilis and Olive Garden came to Anytown, they grabbed that “twice a month restaurant treat” demo because let’s be real, those places aren’t good but they’re better than Pizza Hut for mom and dad and kids are still happy and welcome there. Pizza Hut HAD to turn to more fast food, cheap style because that’s the only direction they could go but the pizza is exactly the same. And it does suck that they lost the salad bar and booths and brass fixings but that shit wasn’t gonna bring back the middle of the week “mom’s tired” crowd from Applebees. 

    Incorrect.  Don't know about the '80s or '90s but in the '70s their pizza was made to order, a thirty minute wait, came fresh out of the oven and was delicious.

    Just watch the last ep. Help me out here: The cultists claim Joel killed one of their people. Are they referring to one of the guys that were killed at the university? I've seen the game but can't remember anything. 

    Can't recall the exact dialogue, but the cult leader made it pretty clear that the group at the university were from his group when Ellie was holding a shotgun on him while they waited for the penicillin.

    I'm going to Philadelphia with the special lady friend at the end of March. I'll of course be running up the stairs of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and triumphantly raising my arms...unless I pull a middle-aged hammy. I may or may not don the all gray sweats.

    I'll also be addressing the special lady friend as "HEY WOMAN! HEY WOMAN!" the whole weekend in honor of Clubber Lang. She'll probably like that.

    Poor Ellie. Throughout the episode all i could think about was how she had previously told Joel that everyone she has ever cared about has died or left. She obviously loved Riley. We all knew what was in store. And it still was a gut punch....

    Spoiler

    I wanna know how it went down though.  They were both bitten.  Neither knew about Ellie's immunity.  They were planning on riding the thing out together.

    How did Ellie realized she had immunity without Riley tearing her apart like that little kid tried to in Episode 5?

    For me, the chills moment is when Rocky gets up from the late knockdown and waves like "come on" and Apollo just drops his head slightly in disbelief like "this fucking guy".  It is just perfect. 

    The scene is the crescendo of everything the movie presented prior.  Love that they took 30 minutes to present the dumb, well-meaning, schmo, who doesn't see a way out of his world, before coming with the "golden ticket" angle.

    The music makes this scene unforgettable.

    Not sure that's the right hire for Carolina. 

    Frank lost control of his team as Head Coach in Indy...

    It's unbelievable the incestuousness of the NFL.   He's a nice guy.  He's not going to take your team to the promised land.  Hell, they saw hours of him on HBO last year.  This is the best candidate they can come up with?

    It was only within the last few years that teams figured out a measure of clock management.  If some team would go out on a limb and hire a really smart dude, I'd love to see what he could do with game management.  That's the next frontier.

    This. My wife and I eat at the bar of a particular restaurant near us about once a week. We've gotten to know the bartenders quite well and I tip very generously. The ring up the first drink we have and that's it. Glasses stay full the entire time we're there and we never pay for more than one round.

    I know it's just me being awkward, but I don't like those type of deals. I generally like to tip generously, but like in this instance, once the free drinks started coming, I would start questioning, "ok, should I tip this cat even more now".  And then the awkwardness once you've become accustomed to said free drinks, and you get charged for one.  "WTF, dude!?"  Even worse if you've upped your tip game to compensate for the free drinks. It's all too confusing...

    this is the wives and stupid shit they do thread.... not the "husbands and stupid shit they believe what their wives said" thread.   

    you know that 30 mins of rage and sweating is on you. 

    Was fully expecting a response along these lines.  Nah, I reject it.  My wife is in the upper echelon of women when it comes to common sense.  Sometimes their womeness just gets the better of them.

    This reminds me of a family trip we took in 2021.  Driving to Utah and Grand Canyon with the kids on the 15 from CA.  Wife is driving current leg, and we've driven past Vegas into the desert.  I'm in the backseat behind her, hungover, and ask her how the gas situation is looking.  She says fine.  There's really no way for me to see myself, so I take her at her word and go back to half asleep. 

    I sort of wake up and see a billboard, "last gas for 40 miles or something".  I again ask her, she says it's cool.

    You know the rest.  We get into a very hilly area with twists and turns and no cell coverage at all, and she notes that the gas light is on.  Fuck me.

    Thirty minutes of sweating, internal rage, and praying, and we eventually made it to a gas station.

    Bitches are, in fact, crazy,

    Don't think I agree here.  Dude didn't trust his wife to handle the situation professionally, so she fucked with him a bit.  I would have taken it with humor, but whatever.

    Also, that neighbor guy is an asshole.  Not sure I'd want my kid hanging with his anyway.

    Maybe this is how it was in the 90's and we've gotten better as families and a society, but it was very problematic to watch and we as a family all agreed to turn it off:

    Cotdamn, this makes me fear for our future.

    IDK told him to leave the fucking house? Given him advice that lawyers give to people in these situations so he didn't lose his fucking job? Tell the cops they can arrest the client but the client isn't saying shit and get started on the bail etc way the fuck ahead of time so it wasn't just some bullshit until noon thing? Sat on the fucking cops while they wrote out a statement because they needed it to defend their client? 

    I mean you are the lawyer man, what would you do if your client called you and had this shit go down? Everything you could to set them up for basically the opposite of how this went down.
