IMHO it’s saved by the mimosa. Throw some orange juice in that overhyped sparkling grape juice and I am IN. Great for tolerating events with people you don’t like.

“Cheryl, whose idea was this?” “A bunch of guys.”

Perfect line

True. Some of us do know how to use commas, though.

I feel sorry for the children - but only the children

“Let’s send mixed messages. Be sure to include lots of healthy, well-groomed, cute pets in the ad. Also, make sure the animals are sized oddly relative to one another, to give potential buyers no sense of scale. If we don’t know how big this thing is, then neither should they.”

Disappointing but not surprising

I watched Skeleton Crew. It was pleasantly non-terrible. There’s absolutely no way that Disney will simply let this franchise die, so I guess I’ll trust Watts with it as much as anyone.

This question is 100% valid, but I really don’t want to think about it

Terrible person has an affair with another terrible person, then terrible things happen. Got it.

I’m relieved that the last word in this headline is “condiments”

“We carry water in jerry cans,” said Nas al-Barawi, 34, a mother of five from Beit Lahia.

The irony here is truly remarkable.

According to Wikipedia, “It was designed in Germany in the 1930s for military use…” and “The name of the jerrycan refers to its German origins, Jerry being slang for Germans.”

No further comment.

 

I typically go with 20%, but that’s just a guess.

 

I was expecting it to be just another post-apocalyptic drama, and I’ve seen so many mediocre ones that Station 11 wasn’t high on my list. I was very wrong.

Station 11 was well written, well cast, and interesting (if confusing at times).

 

Just about everyone looks better when they smile. It’s true regardless of gender. I don’t see where sexism enters the equation.

I feel pretty oblivious. What am I missing?

 

Is it because of the instance they’re posting from, some kind of “award”, or what?
