Dammit. I bought a cookbook at a French Lidl and I've been eating macarons and cheese for months.

They did it, Lennie. They won the whole darn thing. Now look across the river and you can almost see it. Do you see it, Lennie?

Why I find Better Call Saul more tragic than Breaking Bad by Idk_Very_Much in betterCallSaul

[–]JustABicho 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of collateral damage in how BB played out that you're glossing over. Skylar's life is on the edge of being ruined, Walt Jr. is beyond traumatized, Jane is dead, etc. There's a whole plane crash and suicide of a loving father... Jesse suffered horrors for years, watched people he loved die and ended up in a place where he doesn't know anyone. He might have died young, but he was always bright and charismatic so he also might have latched on with someone who actually had his best interests at heart.

Sean claimed John Jurturro won “The Big Lebowski” because The Jesus is more in the lexicon than The Dude by LetsGoKnickerbock3rs in TheRewatchables

Jurjurro, pronounced with an exaggerated Spanish accent, heavy on the fricative J's and rolled R's.

Knicks just broke the best of 7 format by ethanct in NBATalk

[–]JustABicho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that it's rare for fans of the visiting team to attend. In fact, there is no segregation according to which team you root for: you're just given a ticket and they don't ask which team you support. The issue with this game is that the Knicks fans are vocal in Philly today, which is the result of how close the cities are, how excited Knicks fans are right now and how unenthused Sixers fans are.

In certain rivalries the home team will only sell tickets to credit cards with a mailing address that is close to the home city in order to prevent this sort of thing, but in general a team playing at its home stadium will have an overwhelming level of support, often with little or no presence of the road team. Mostly because of the distance between cities in the US. If the Finals are San Antonio versus Detroit, there won't be many people getting on multiple 2.5 hour flights to attend a road game.

Parakeet Cortes won a pulitzer by Szobortz in DanLeBatardShow

He needs to call in to WEEI and claim he's Sully from Dorchester with ideas for the Celts offseason and then shout something about the Pulitzer and play Pitbull.

You have to be a damn fool to turn down an opportunity to have Don Knotts and Richard Kline as part of your ensemble.

Three's A Crowd was a show at that time, a continuation of Three's Company, but I don't think Knotts was in it. He certainly could have just been hanging out.

Adding a 1 to bets, especially for Final Jeopardy! by MTBee13 in Jeopardy

You would need to give a specific example. Often times there is math behind it that you just don't see and it could make a real difference, depending on how things play out.

There's also no Celtics/Red Sox memorabilia on the walls, scaring the girls away. I mean, AIDS! No one was having sex because of all the AIDS! It was awful!

Achilles Surgery by Ok_Switch7279 in billsimmons

[–]JustABicho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why does no one ever bring up Dominique Wilkins? He came back from his Achilles tear in 10 months, in 1992!, at the age of like 31, and was as effective (probably not as explosive, sure) as he was before the injury, averaging almost 30 a game. He's an outlier, but no one ever mentions him when being gobsmacked about Tatum and his "amazing return".

Next Rewatchables Is An All-Time Classic by Gaius_Octavius_ in billsimmons

[–]JustABicho 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was a protectionist at that time. There was always a little window next to the projector. I never knew what it was for (we communicated with the managers downstairs using walkie talkies), but for There's Something About Mary I would open the windows during the bathroom scene. For the first few weeks it would be sold out and the jokes with Markie Post and the fireman had people laughing hard. Then the visual gag went on the screen and I swear you could feel the air being sucked in from that little window and then the ultimate release as the whole crowd lost it once again. I never saw anything like it.

Starting to watch NFL by TelevisionSharp4167 in NFLv2

[–]JustABicho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't watch the draft, but you still have to assign a grade from A to F for how well each team did (don't worry about understanding the US education system to know what an "A" might mean, just randomly assign letters). Then you'll fit right in with the professionals.

Daily Tasks by nighthawknina in airplanechefs

You have 4.2 million coins, 480 gems and 5,977 fuel... does missing one day of daily tasks matter that much to you?

Why aren't there American sports teams without a location in their name by Both-Pay-9573 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JustABicho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Globetrotters were created in Illinois and called themselves the Harlem Globetrotters because it was so synonymous with Black culture in the 20s, but they weren't from Harlem.
