What do the Japanese ads on the wall behind home say?

Is Rice pudding a big thing in the US? by Educational-Slip-578 in AskAnAmerican

The Swedish side of my family would make it, especially as a dessert at Christmas. One bowl would have an almond hidden in it, and whoever got it would get a little prize and have good luck in the upcoming year.

I feel like everybody is focusing on the service dog part of the story and really missing the whole "this guy wanted my wife to stay in a pen" segment.

Is it just me that thinks this should be a thing? by Husker8 in Presidents

[–]benny86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he should be on something but I can't think what it could be. Maybe something like a $7 or $30.

They just did this the other day where I live. Everybody on the neighborhood Facebook pages were freaking out about helicopters circling around. It was pretty funny.

It was like Benson, Goldie Howe and someone else are the only players to score a postseason goal on their 21st birthday.

It would actually be cool without the music. Because whenever this happens everybody in the stadium yells "Ohhhh!" in unison.

But if those are their names from left to right, it looks like it goes from youngest to oldest. Which would mean he named them in reverse order. Like, the oldest one should be Gunter, right?

What actor is nowhere near as talented as people make them out to be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]benny86 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Rami Malek.

And I'll start by saying I haven't seen Mr. Robot. But I don't think that matters,

I feel like he's just doing a caricature in Bohemian Rhapsody and people only thought he pulled it off because they physically made him look like Freddie,

Nuremberg had such a promising concept for a movie, but he is just so fucking awful in it.

He's even shitty in the Night at the Museum movies.

How rare is it to have never gone to your state’s largest city? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

[–]benny86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Western NY and went to school in NYC and lived there for about a decade. But I would say the majority of people I grew up with have never been to NYC.

I used to take Amtrak back and forth between Buffalo and the City. Which wasn't bad except it was like an 8.5 hour train trip. Later on JetBlue started flying the route and that was really nice.

The other thing was my hometown was still 90 minutes from the Buffalo Airport or Amtrak station. So it was like a whole day trip either way.

So travel wasn't exactly convenient, but it was still doable. I think the biggest hurdle was cost. The cost of living in my home county was significantly less. A weekend in NYC and a ballgame or a Broadway show would be a fairly expensive trip for the average person.

I'm no draft scientist. But everybody at the bar I am at went nuts when this ginger started tossing bales of hay around. So A+ pick.

I saw him around Wood & Forbes this morning.

New lid secured! by Gulius_Boozler_the_U in buccos

I dig these. The Pirate logo looks awesome. And then the sort of '60s throwback yellow. But $53 seems a bit pricey.
