  1. Don't get me started on how amazing K&Z's is. But those sandwiches always end up being a knife-and-fork situation with a two meals leftovers affair. It's not a bad thing, but it's a different thing. My K&Z's experience was superior to my Katz's (NYC) experience was. But for Meg Ryan.
  2. Agree. And , there ain't nothing wrong with getting a BA before you head to graduate school, engineering and C/S notwithstanding..
  3. I think you see her coming into Holsten's from the outside, but then (interior shot) you see the door, the bell rings (Tony's POV) blackout.
  4. The worst one by a mile.
  5. I'm not going to call you a fascist. I'm using your post to quote for no better reason than to say that I think this whole story is a bit. It's the Onion. Maybe I'm wrong, but this feels like a bit. If it is, it's brilliant. This is precisely the first thing I would do if I were in charge of the Onion after it bought infowars. If not, WTF. Shouted down from Brisketexan's ledge.
  6. Would smash like a fist of an angry god!
  7. That movie, notably with a killer soundtrack, holds up really well.
  8. Lots of good ones. I'll reiterate The Cars debut album. Also,
  9. I'm sure he's rewatched it a few times by now.
  10. Speak for yourself.
  11. It goes better with Freedom Fries too.
  12. /because let's face it. That's where this is headed.
  13. I already mentioned the Shining when I was about 7 and Airplane shortly thereafter. Truth be told, I saw a ton of age inappropriate movies throughout my childhood and even wrote a parody of Life's Little Instruction book if all of the life lessons were learned from movies I watched as a kid on TV /CSB Anyway, when it came to my older son, I let him watch a lot of age inappropriate movies including Jaws at age 8. He liked it. Around that time, we watched Ghostbusters. My wife watched it with us. We didn't think much of it. But at about 2 a.m. that same night, he work up screaming. I ran into his room and he looked like he'd seen something horrific. I asked him what was wrong and, through sobs, he said, "That lady turned into a dog." Oops. Sorry.
  14. Something like this: I will offer covering fire.
  15. Well, it's "not great, Bob." But point taken.
  16. I'm glad your instincts appear to keep you on the right side of history. Because you would be a scary dictator. Your doomsday game theory is startling to say the least.
  17. I've used this a few times. I find it to be an appropriate reaction to lots of things ranging from the totally heinous to the slightly off-putting.
  18. The next civil war might actually be fought over textiles.
  19. My older son ate a lot of peanut butter sandwiches as a child. I'll never forget trying to clean up peanut-butter puke out of the carpet in the middle of the night when he was about 8 years old.
  20. Is. Edit: the answer apparently is both. But under the JimmyJazz inner voice method of grammar, I'm opting for treating it as a singular noun. From Webster's: Data leads a life of its own quite independent of datum, of which it was originally the plural. It occurs in two constructions: as a plural noun (like earnings), taking a plural verb and plural modifiers (such as these, many, a few) but not cardinal numbers, and serving as a referent for plural pronouns (such as they, them); and as an abstract mass noun (like information), taking a singular verb and singular modifiers (such as this, much, little), and being referred to by a singular pronoun (it). Both constructions are standard. The plural construction is more common in print, evidently because the house style of several publishers mandates it.
  21. And it's even a more prevalent side-effect from contracting COVID19 than the rare side-effect of vaccination. https://www.heart.org/en/news/2022/08/22/covid-19-infection-poses-higher-risk-for-myocarditis-than-vaccines
