Arby’s makes me sad-faced

Apparently, at some point in the last six months, stopped selling their stupidly delicious southwestern mini-eggrolls. I am upset and distressed by this decision, not to mention left wanting. Curly fries and wonderful sandwiches may not be enough to keep me a loyal customer (but probably is). And the McSkillet Burrito is fucking terrible. MacDonald’s, [...]

Followup: experimental ginger chicken marinade

It made a nice companion to the [...]

My large hadron collideris no threat? I resent that.

Large Hadron Collider could destroy planet? The hardon jokes write themselves. I’m far less afraid of this than I am of global warming, any bizarre medical condition shown on House or being struck by lightning. However, the possibility that one of these little buggers could already be chowing down on the planet already or that [...]

She managed to rattle off several names, and there were only a few exceptions that she could think of (one of whom was at [...]

tidbits before I leave for the week

I’m pretty certain that this will be the funniest fark thread I see all week. And speaking of funny, or rather a lack of it (or however you want to look at it), George Carlin is dead. I think he was the first ‘dirty’ comic I ever heard, and man did it open my eyes. [...]

boozing lists?!

What’s with all the lists? It’s not New Year’s Eve! I digress… Two lists of things you must do while drunk/involve boozing: Top 10 Drinking Achievements Before You Die – I’ve done 7 of these. I haven’t run the taps, been to Oktoberfest in Germany or Brewed my own beer. A man is, ultimately, the [...]

Swingers are funny people when they’re not being criminals

I’m not going to attempt to characterize where the line is, but there is one and these folks crossed it. I have no issues with swingers, and am not a fan of making targets out of them, but things like this make it so easy. Between this and the their hostile takeovers of nudist resorts, [...]

Movie Review: Gummo

Probably the most horrific and graphic depiction of the horrors of American life. It displays a profound sense of indecency, defeat and struggle in a place where, in theory, such behavior and life shouldn’t exist. But in the aftermath of a tornado, Xenia, OH is just that. Killing and selling cats to the local Chinese [...]
