(Fork, you can write your own joke about Stew and/or Heston's dead, cold hands here)
They break easily.  Really too bad. There were some zingers in the lost five: 11. Thou shalt not eat pork, except for bacon, because it is yummy. 12. Thou shalt not honor a team on the north side of the city of Chicago, they are an abomination. 13. Thou shalt not designate a hitter. 14. Thou shalt not swing at a 3 and 0 pitch with two outs, a tie score and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. 15. Thou shalt not adopt a constitutional amendment guarantying the right to bear arms. That is just stupid. The 15th. is my favorite. Thou shalt not have the means to protect thyself, thy family, thy property. What could possibly go wrong with such a "common sense" commandment. |

Anybody know anything about speakers? Due to configuration of the new living space, the tower speakers we currently have aren't going to work. We have built-in shelves that are 18" high, so I'd like to get two speakers that will fit in there. Will be used for music and TV. Need to be decent, but I certainly don't have a discerning enough ear that I'll know the difference between good and great. Can I just get something like this? These are about 3 times the price, are they much better? Thanks in advance. Pen and there will be a noticable difference. What is your budget? If you could swing it I would take a look at these. Klipsch lowest price bookshelf but they make a quality product. Bose is a notable counterexample to this proposition. Buy Other Sound Equipment? Another triumph of marketing over substance. |

(Mostly for Flannj)
Nice new place in Mt. Prospect from the people who brought you Sunda. Located in Randhurst Village (now an outdoor mall), they feature a rage of foods from Earth and Ocean. They encourage sharing, so expect your entree to come with a serving spoon.
We had 4 appetizers and 3 entrees. The sushi rolls were very tasty, the spicy tuna being the best of the three. Popcorn shrimp was also quite good. The gaucho steak with egg was nothing special, but the prawns over rice and mushrooms were terrific. Dessert was small crunchy cookies with vanilla and chocolate dipping sauce. Meh. But the mini churros were excellent.
I, for one, am shocked that Chuck ate here with a Costco nearby. Thanks Chuck - this place is on the list. And to Fork's point, how do the churros compare? |

Andrea is quickly approaching Lori levels of annoying and bad acting.
Just put a bullet in her already.
You didn't enjoy shadowbutt? I liked it, but I'm still finding her to be shrill and annoying. However, her character is very much devoted to the idea of returning to some semblance of normalcy in the world, and the Governor, despite his manifest flaws, still offers that to her. Going forward, the primary conflict, I believe, will be less Ricktatorship versus the Governor, but more Andrea versus the Governor. I'm still intrigued as to why T-Dogg 3.0 and his female companion are suddenly choking on the Governor's dong. I know why those other two guys are - because they feel slighted by Rick and the gang - but not Three Dogg and his pal. Her only redeeming quality is her keister. It appears that is impossible for her to stand still with out placing hand on hip and and cocking her head to the side. |

She looks kinda cute. Think she'd like someone to mend her lost heart?
Validated This bitch killed her dog before she shot herself? Still, those poor kids. I don't know that they'll be worse off in foster care than with those two fuckheads for parents, but this is still awful. I had no idea who she was but holy crap what a messed up life. And more proof as to what a complete scumbag Roger Clemens is. For Christ's sake, 15 years old? Insert Yeti joke here... Uh... She looks kinda cute. Think she'd like someone to mend her lost heart?
You and your internet wizardry. |

I don't know if this is a big deal, but Maker's Mark to Dilute Bourbon by 7 Percent Clearly this isn't the best way to save a buck, right? Wouldn't raising prices versus (quite literally) diluting the product and brand be a better option? Meh. Do you really think the TDubbses of the world will notice a drop from 90 to 84 proof? It'll still be a step up from Jack and Beam at 80. I'm less worried about the drop in proof than any noticeable change in flavor. I mean, I know that diluting the product at the distillery is different than just adding water to it at a bar or whatever, but, it's Maker's Mark. I'm thinking this guy would have rather spend $1 more per bottle than having his drink messed with. And he's on record as being the cheapest guy on this message board. Well, hell, if I've already decided to hitch on the fancy pants (with belt) and get something fancier than a $15 bottle of Jim Beam, I'm fine with paying an extra couple of bucks for Maker's Mark. Oh well. As far as top shelf bourbon goes there's always Woodford, 1792, Knobb, or this local stuff that is absolutely fantastic. Your loss, Maker's Mark. Someone else will bring out my inner Cyndi Lauper. Bourbon makes you masturbate? Oxygen makes him masturbate. Well, this took a bit of a digression, didn't it? |
