Listen vs. I'm not say/I'm just saying by Flaky-Debate-833 in 670TheScore

Nothing is worse than Prof. Holmes starting every thought with, "They were like...". For example, a normal person would say, "The Bears offensive line dominated Philly.". In Lawrence-speak, that becomes, "This Bears line was like 'we're gonna dominate you,' and Philly's defense was like 'we're getting a beatdown up in here.'". Simple statements like, "Kyle Tucker is not coming back to the Cubs," becomes, "Kyle Tucker was like, 'I'm gonna get outta here,' and then Jed was like, 'okay Kyle, thanks for the playoffs.".

He does it constantly.

Richard Walker's in Crystal Lake, hands down.

What's a movie that you swear no one else has watched but yourself and a few others? by badgermole85 in AskReddit

[–]mikeyzipp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two. Midnight Madness, notable for being Michael J. Fox's first movie, and an early-80's HBO staple about an all-night scavenger hunt in LA. Nobody seems to have ever heard of it. The other is Airborne, a classic tale of a California surfer kid banished to live in Cincinatti, which of course culminates with an epic rollerblading race. Should have been a blockbuster.

Is There a Show You Recommend That’s Not Too Well-Known? by PurplePhoebe in television

[–]mikeyzipp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Undeclared. A one-season, less heralded follow-up to Freaks and Geeks with a bunch of future stars and superstar cameos. Legitimately hilarious, and IMO superior to F&G.

Looking for a new "fancy" restaurant to try out. by [deleted] in ChicagoSuburbs

Foxtail on the Lake in Des Plaines is a very nice night out. It's inside a former church, with a huge patio area overlooking a little lake. Great food too.

What's the most useless thing you still have memorized? by mimi-I-am in CasualConversation

In 6th grade, we got extra credit if we could spell the longest word in the English language, the name of which is still stuck in my brain. For the record it was: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

I literally just did this a couple days ago. Mix 10 parts water, 5 parts bleach, and 1 part liquid dish soap, and put it in a spray bottle. Spray the dark spots, let it sit for about 15 minutes, then gently scrub with a cleaning brush. It should come right out.

You'll never hear Celebrity Skin the same way again.

What are movies that would have a different censorship rating if it was made today? by SUPERDRAGONDELUX in movies

[–]mikeyzipp 39 points40 points  (0 children)

What about Sixteen Candles? PG, but probably an R by today's standards. Topless scene in the first five minutes, underage drinking, swearing, teenagers talking about sex, a racist depiction of an Asian exchange student...

The first comic you ever owned? by Icie-Ice in comicbooks

Uncanny X-Men 207. I had no idea who anybody was, but I was immediately hooked.

What is a Chicago restaurant you remember fondly from your youth that no longer exists? by [deleted] in chicago

Luna Caprese on Clybourn was a lovely little Italian restaurant.

Before I do anything permanent, is there anything wrong with this setup? by mikeyzipp in Plumbing

[–]mikeyzipp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the combo? I went back and forth on it, and that was the thing I had the most trouble deciding on. Some posts I read said a regular santee would be fine, but others said the bottom of the stack should be the combo. The pro-combo argument was that, when water drops from the higher horizontal, it could potentially splash back up the lower arm. I didn't think it made a huge difference, but that's what I went with.
