    The New England Patriots 2014 Playoffs Thread

    Eh, I disagree. I wouldn't say fans have a "right" to learn about players personal lives, but the fact is that these guys are celebrities, and people are interested in celebrities. It's no different for famous musicians and actors. I can even understand disliking answering media questions, but...

    Sons of Liberty

    I lost interest in Turn after a couple episodes. In my opinion this is much, much better. Then again, it's a miniseries as opposed to a full series like Turn, so I imagine the story is a lot tighter and things happen a lot more quickly.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I feel the same way about McCarthy. I think she does a great job when she's got someone else to work off of, but she's terribly unfunny when she has to carry the entire comedy load herself. For example, Tammy is pretty much her doing all the comedy, and it's an awful, unfunny movie. I think in...

    Disney Eyeing Chris Pratt For Indiana Jones Revival

    I don't have a problem with them either remaking the Indy movies with Pratt or doing sequels/prequels. The way I figure it is that the 3 good Indy movies are pretty damn old at this point, and there is an entire generation (or two!) of kids who have never seen them. As long as these movies are...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Well, I think I finally overdid it with my eating. I went on a 4-day fast food/junk food bender from Thursday through Sunday. It started with the BK nuggets I mentioned in an earlier post, and throughout the 4 days included 1.5 gallons of milk, half a box of Hungry Jack pancake mix, 2 sticks of...

    Sons of Liberty

    Sons of Liberty - Episodes, Video & Schedule - HISTORY.com If you're into historical fiction this is a fantastic show. I've only watched the first episode so far, but the production value, acting, and writing are as good as--if not better than--Vikings. Don't expect any amount of historical...

    Living in the D.C. area I know a lot of people who work in various government jobs. I swear, they get more excited about possible snow days than kids do.

    Fun fact: originally, ketchup didn't involve tomatoes at all, and was instead made with a variety ingredients such as fish, mushrooms, and spices. Tomato ketchup was pioneered and made popular by Americans. I was taking an exam once where you have to read some of those academic passages and...

    Favorite T-shirts

    My sister used to do promotions for a radio station, so all my t-shirts are cheaply made advertisements for shitty movies like Cloud Atlas, Rock of Ages, Monuments Men, Trouble with the Curve, etc., each with the movie title and logo on the front and the release date on the back. They spark a...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Come down to Maryland and we can pal around for a week and eat nothing but food from chain restaurants. I can't imagine anything better than a week's worth of Applebee's, Cheese Cake Factory, Friday's, Pizza Hut, and the wonderful company of brother Khane. *Edit* And we can hit Buffalo Wild...

    I haven't watched the final two episodes yet, but I watched the first 3 weeks of it and I haven't been impressed. Every episode has had a moment or two that made me chuckle, but the music was mostly boring and unfunny, and the majority of the jokes were pretty bad. I'm one of the easiest people...

    Uh, cry me a river? That's the job of the postal service: to deliver mail no matter what.

    I forgot about bacon. Bacon is an exception because it goes with pretty much everything. However, I don't like dishes that have chicken + beef, or hot dogs + burgers. Hell, I'm not even a big fan of surf and turf style dishes. I'm kind of anal about my food mixing in general, and when I eat a...

    Panera does tons of menu changes, most of which displease me. I haven't been there in quite a while because first they stopped serving the chili and cornbread I loved, then they got rid of my favorite salad.

    Tarrant gave the best advice. Unless you're in a committed relationship where you have a responsibility to your partner, you should do what's best for you and your life. This is great advice in general, not just for Sutekh.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I didn't say it's "hard" to make, but it requires more effort than throwing together a cold turkey sandwich. You'd need to buy hamburger buns, hamburger patties, thousand island dressing, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, then cook the burgers. That's a lot more ingredients and effort than...

    I agree that Panera Bread is a bit overpriced for what you get. A lot of the sandwiches and soups are hardly better/more complex than something you could throw together at home or get out of a can, to be honest. The only things worth buying at Panera Bread are some of their more complex salads...

    Bicycling

    So far this winter in Maryland has been pretty great for bike riding. Tons of days of 40+ temperatures and very little snowfall. I'm hoping it stays this way for the duration of the winter, especially after last year's snow-filled monstrosity of a season.

    King of the Nerds

    One of the things that I love about King of the Nerds is that just because someone keeps getting voted out, doesn't mean they'll be gone because they can keep winning nerd offs. Like Zach last year, he kept winning and winning even though it was clear no one else wanted him there. I'd love to...

    I liked the rube goldberg challenge, but I agree that the nerd off was too simplistic. It should have been a correct trivia answer gives you 10 seconds to destroy as much as you can, with the winner being the one who destroys the most. Or something like that. In terms of the nerds, the NASA...

    McNuggets are the worst chicken nuggets of all fast food joints. They're barely better than the shitty dinosaur-shaped garbage from the grocery store frozen aisle. I found bone and/or gristle chunks in my McNuggets on several occasions.

    Putting up huge lifting numbers is great if you're into that, but it's hardly necessary in order to be happy with how you look, or even be considered attractive by society in general.

    It's all frozen shit, anyway. I'm confident that even the seafood buffets in places like Ocean City, which are literally located between the bay and the ocean, use mostly frozen stuff for their buffets. The real thing to watch out for when hitting buffets is how crowded they are, because that...

    I believe the point of the exchange between Fish and Falcone regarding signing the papers was to show how na?ve and ill-prepared Fish really is to become the Don.

    Have you ever been a disgusting piece of shit, though? It is easy to say stuff like that but it is different to actually experience being 80+ pounds of fat overweight. If you have and still "owned it," that is great. But it is hard as hell to be confident for most people when they are that obese.
