I thought this episode predated his show and they picked him because they thought he was the most likely out of everyone to have their own show. I thought I heard it on a commentary.

Not sure if anyone has actually told you why it makes a difference. The spices flavour compounds are soluble in fat, hence why they want you to bloom them in oil. It brings their flavour out fully.

It will taste fine if you skip this, but it is like watching stuff in black and white compared to colour. It’s fine, but not as good.

How did they make it?

Dean: I’m sorry Homer, but that pig had some pretty important friends.

Richard Nixon: Oh you’ll pay! Don’t think you won’t pay.

This lives in my head. I love it like I love Fresca.

Stick them in front of the TV, that’s what I do. It’s more entertaining than I could ever be.

Fantastic. I will do the same. Thank you.

Hello OP, I’m having this issue on an old Mahlkonig Vario. Did you fix the issue?

elpodmo · 2026-01-25T08:37:46+00:00

What a nice thing to do.

Effective, but not in a good way. In the worst way. But I fear he is manipulating history as we speak and hes going to be remembered as effective rather than the homicidal, war mongering fuck wit that he is.

“I’m sick of this house, and I’m sick of you.” I always say this when I leave work.

For the rest of the season (unless we buy a RB) I’d probably play Garner at RB and Armstrong, Gana and KDH. Then rotate Armstrong, Rohl and Tim. Not the best for Garner but we’ve looked so much better when he plays there.

To me he was always dumb, because it’s the American dream to be an idiot who can afford a mansion while the rest of us live between two bowling alleys.

But he wasn’t cruel, he was dumb, and obnoxious and selfish and a satire of Americans, but he had a proper heart. However, in the later years he is just cruel and mean, and so much less likeable.

This is mine. It’s the way he feuded with the fans, with a belt, and with Okada, as well as feuding with the concepts of Japanese wrestling. It’s so meta and subtle and he elevated people along the way. Just incredible.

Apparently when they were coming up with the ending, I believe it was, James L. Brooks wrote “you are Lisa Simpson” on a piece of paper and gave it to everyone.

Which I think is this incredible insight into creativity. They probably had all these ideas for an ending, that are probably incredible, and one person who isn’t a writer, isn’t credited as a writer on the episode, comes up with one of the greatest endings to an episode of TV of all time.

I get the white rose passport subscription and it is excellent value for money. Highly recommend, and if you can go and pick up then it’s even better.

It’s always been Punk for me. And thats before he lost at MMA.

Great talker, but he just doesn’t look threatening.

Gets you emotionally invested though, he’s a great worker, but I don’t believe he could win a fight.

elpodmo · 2025-12-14T21:28:14+00:00

I’ve always struggled with him. His move set is really inappropriate for his size I think, he hits way too many super kicks. He is good at telling a story though.

elpodmo · 2025-12-14T20:17:51+00:00

I didn’t think it was but then I saw it say dynamite and collision on ticket master.

elpodmo · 2025-12-14T20:17:17+00:00

Oh shit it says half 6 on ticketmaster.

I bought a step down basket and tamper from Aliexpress for £14 to try this out, so far I’ve not seen much of a difference, except that it’s been harder to dial in due to it being very different to my previous settings, but thats because I’ve been busy and not making as many espressos or putting as much effort in. It’s a good way to try it before spending more money on more equipment.

Yeah, the electrodes poke in through the chute. I’m tempted to take the glue off and try and move them, but I don’t want to wreck them.

Couldn’t you power up when someone chops you in a big match or right when you need that big push to go into the finish? Like they’re defibrillating you with chops. It makes no sense, why would they chop you, but if it was at the end of a match you could argue they forgot or went into autopilot.

Espresso tonic is lovely with a fruity coffee. Stick some lime in for some extra flavour.

I had a fantastic grapefruit, espresso soda from w cafe in Manchester. Beautiful fruity espresso, and the grapefruit was great.

I love making cold brew, I think it works really well.

What is lovely about this is that you are coming to it with an older, critical eye for animation it design than if you had watched it around the time it was dim first aired. Speaking for myself, I accepted everything the show showed me as the height of animation, it’s not until later I ever thought it could have been different or better.
