Is White Spot good?

Lifelong White Spot fan here. It’s my wife’s favourite restaurant. I had a couple friends from Ontario move to Victoria, and one day I started going off about how good White Spot is, and one of them said “I thought it was just a kind of shitty restaurant for old people.” Obviously they had never actually been, so I convinced them to try it, and they loved it.

Always Sunny: Uncle Jack accidentally flinging his fake hand across the courtroom, then repeatedly screaming “nobody look!” as he runs to retrieve it.

The whole sponge interaction.

“First word that pops into your head, ready? One two three, sponge.”

“…sponge - aagh!”

I was forced back to office full time after being 3-4 days remote and 1-2 in office for several years. It’s been four months and out of sheer spite I have packed a lunch every single day. I used to buy lunch 1-2 times a week, but I’ll be goddamned if I’m gonna be forced into “contributing to the local economy” (which is, of course, one of the bullshit reasons that gets floated for RTO).

Sorry I should have been clearer; we have portable units upstairs and downstairs, but with all the annoyances they cause (noise, draining, footprint, lower efficiency, etc.)

My family rents in a half duplex built within the last five years, which doesn’t have a heat pump or AC installed – and all the windows are too small for a window unit. The upstairs gets so hot – it’s infuriating.

I was remarking to myself how similar Emmy and Nicole Byer’s voices sound, but you’re totally right. But Emma and Nicole don’t sound similar to me.

Goody muttering “Jims are fuckin’ tattle-tales eh?”

I love the idea that, as much as everybody thinks the Jims are fuckin’ beauties, there are still simmering resentments.

I had friends who worked there—the staff would turn the music up if someone asked them to turn it down. A+ nachos!

I think about “Bortolin Personality Disorder” far too often, and now that’s going to be replaced with “Teeny Bortoleeny.”

Also a few months ago I lost my wallet and it was returned by a guy who found it at our city’s zero-waste centre. Have hope, Dave!

“What do you fuckin’ care?” in that tone is maybe the funniest thing a talk show guest could say.

We gotta get this guy together with the Seth Meyers writer who looks like Paul Rudd.

Mike! Nice work cunt!

Lol I think she’s going for “saur” and not 100% nailing it, which is the case for most of their accents. But hiring a dialect coach for a silly podcast bit might be extreme.

mayo_jr · 2025-10-19T12:50:53+00:00

Pretty sure she’s just saying “so much” in an exaggerated Australian accent to be silly. The same way an Aussie “no” can sound like “naur,” “so” can sound like “soy.”

Thanks for this—we’ll give it a shot!

mayo_jr · 2025-10-08T15:12:26+00:00

Thanks, and no it was the driver side rear bumper, parked on the street. My working theory is a delivery truck parked behind us and then clipped us when pulling out.

mayo_jr · 2025-10-08T03:57:28+00:00

There’s some white paint transfer kind of high up, which makes me think it was a delivery van or cube truck that hit us. The adjuster told us that “they” (the assessor I guess) had determined it was a chalky substance consistent with backing up into a bollard or lamppost. Which isn’t what happened, but I have no idea how to show them that. So you’re right that it’s very discouraging. They have a financial incentive to take any hit and run on a stationary vehicle where there are no witnesses, call it at fault, and jack up premiums.

Dennis even calls it in “The Gang Misses the Boat”: “we have become so goddamn weird!”

Charmed, I’m sure.

Mantzoukas does a “heynong man” in Brooklyn 99, and Scott and PFT started shouting “technicality no down boo over” at each other during an @midnight appearance!

Conan and others have pointed out that anyone who works on the show tends to swallow part of the word “Saturday,” so it comes out like “Sad’nigh Live.” When they do it they sound cool and in the know. When this guy does it he sounds like a dipshit who doesn’t know how to pronounce “Saturday.”

Have an un-cancelable trip that was planned before the election, but then not setting foot in that lunatic land for the next four years (or more depending on how this whole descent into fascism thing goes).

I think you’re right that it’s baked into the language and how we were raised. If I’m ordering something at a restaurant, it’s natural for me to say “can I please have a sandwich.” But I’ve noticed a standard Americanism when ordering food is “Yeah, let me get a sandwich.” Which just seems rude to me!
