    cherry sours aren't on anyone's list?

    They're on mine.  In high school I used to go to the Lammes in Northcross mall after getting lunch (usually at Cozzoli's), and I'd get a pound of those things.  I'd eat half the bag in the car on the way back to school, and kill the other half on the way home after school.  Those were the days.

    So I'll say

    1) Reese's PBC

    2) Cherry sours

    3) Right Twix

    4) Spree

    5) Junior Mints

    Patently false. They don’t even put them with the rest of the cookies. They get shunned over with lemon bars.

    Until you name your top 3, you're nothing more than an ant at a picnic.  Man up, son.

    Instead of making your case on how it's easier for you (lazy), why don't you just define the acronyms and improve the thread?

    Nah I'd rather make the case for being lazy, much more fun for me.  You gotta remember, surly gonna surly.  Moose out front shoulda told you.

    after calling it necessary, utee used "tih" which took me a minute as well.  he means the incredible hulk (i think).

    if the names are short (1-2 words) you can fucking write it.  iron man.  wasn't that hard.  avengers.  ultron.  ragnorak.  civil war.  simple.

    guardians you can say "gotg" or "gotg2".

    Yup. The Incredible Hulk. 

    And I was actually joking in my response. I can certainly understand how people that aren't so familiar with the movies would be confused by the shorthand.

  4. Why do people use "metric ton" as a colloquialism instead of just "ton?"  Is it to denote that it's even more than a ton?  I mean, it is, but not by a whole bunch.  Only about 10%.

    Metric ton = 1000 kg = 2,204.6 lbs

    Ton = 907.18 kg  = 2,000 lbs

    Delta = 204.6 lbs = 10.23% more than a regular ton

    I would just like to say the prolific use of acronyms to describe 20+ movies is tiresome in this thread.  Can someone post a sticky for what all this GOAT2 MOWFOR3 means?  Otherwise good discussion.   

    I mean, I get it. I hear ya.  But the truth is that when discussing 20+ movies in a thread, using shorthand is a lot easier than typing them all out.  If people were doing it pretentiously that would be one thing, but in this case I feel like it's almost a matter of simple survival. :)

    Unlike others, I'm pretty excited about CM.  I don't think it will be anywhere close to as good as IM1 or GOTG1 but it's definitely gonna be a lot better than T1, T2, or TIH.

    I made what I will call a Texas chili pizza last night with some of the leftovers.  Tortilla in nonstick skillet, add cheese, add pre-heated chili, add 2nd tortilla, add more cheese, more chili, fried egg (runny yolk) and some sour cream.  Cover and cook about a minute, until the bottom tortilla is crisp.

    Sorry for no pic, but it slammed and went hard.  10/10, will make again.

    You made West Texas/Santa Fe style stacked enchiladas.  Very tasty.

  7. Twin turbo-charged V6 trucks are awesome. :)

    Definitely far more interested in a hybrid than an all-electric truck.  I think eventually someone will come up with a good one.

  8. The point-- the gimmick-- was the separate sides in the styrofoam container.  So the hot side didn't wilt the lettuce or warm up the tomato until you put the two halves together.  I don't recall it being a particularly successful fast food item.

    And I remember that commercial but had no idea it was Jason Alexander, who was obviously not well-known at the time.  Cool find.

    pretty damn nice livery

    It's definitely an improvement.  I'm not sure the papaya orange works as well in 2019 as it did in the 1960s, but I definitely like the graphic nature of the way they integrated the blue this year, much better than last year.

    I thought I'd hate a matte red Ferrari, but that looks pretty slick.  I like the Mission Winnow ID in black rather than white and I like the way it looks sort of like a sharktooth pattern on the engine cover.
