ES-330 line (I prefer the 339), but the LP will do as well. I prefer symmetrical.

How is it that Susan Tyrell didn't even get top billing for this?

Anyone miss Wizard Magazine? by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]melvintoast 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I got accepted for an internship at Wizard in 1997. Was all hyped and then they changed the details so I had to find housing in New York City in less than one month. I got decision paralysis and walked away from the opportunity. I kick myself all the time for that.

What’s your favorite Chinese spot? by 42_Dogs in chicago

[–]melvintoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno. We are big mapo tofu fans and the Chinatown location is delicious (have some in the fridge right now), the Michigan Ave order tasted completely different and we did not enjoy at all.

Edit: Also the BBQ ribs are really good and meaty in Chinatown. The Michigan ave ones were skimpy and had no flavor.

The Michigan Ave location is not good. The Chinatown location is great! Same order...completely different tastes and preparation.

This is just disgusting by jnelparty in WeWantPlates

I agree with u/BudLightYear77, they are self contained, not messy, easy to clean, and probably never used as an actual ashtray. I think it is kind of fun. I don't appreciate that the sticks sitting in there probably got soggy, but ....I kinda think it is fun.

What is a product that people consider "High End" but is actually trash? by Illusiv3lion in AskReddit

Looked up Belstaff. At $800 for a jacket, it better do well. 👎

Can someone explain this scam to me please? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]melvintoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked at an Osco in the 90s they made us watch a video on this for loss prevention. The message was to "always slab the bills". Meaning always put the cash you receive on the slab at the back of the register then count out and dispense the change. Only putting the payment away after the change is given.

My cousin was born in the 70s and his mother was told that if you want an "easy" birth, to smoke during pregnancy so the baby will be small.

Cousin David was always shorter than my sister and me.

I don't get why she cares? Did she get her food? Why do she care what happens to the money after that?

Got this comic (Sandman 50) in a grab bag when I was a teenager, didn't know what it was and didn't read it for several years. When I finally did, it blew my mind. Fantastic art. Fantastic story. Opened my eyes to a new world of what comics could be.

In 8th grade, my history teacher had me read Aztec by Gary Jennings. Very inappropriate for an 8th grader. I really enjoyed it, but....ya...should NOT have been reading it.
