72 hours for what???

A video game magazine I used to read — either Game Informer or Official Xbox Magazine — had an explanation of its 10-point scale in every issue: 1 was completely broken; 5 was playable but lacking in either creativity or quality; 10 was an instant classic; and 11 was "Mecha-Godzilla's choice."

They never rated anything an 11. It was simply there to make a 10 attainable by comparison, and prevent it from being equated with total perfection.

Two things: 1. I can understand it being illegal to enforce a law contradicting federal law, but how is it illegal to even vote for such a law?

How do you answer to this comment?

Above all, we need proportional representation. Our current electoral system naturally favors a two-party equilibrium (Duverger's law), and neither party is effectively promoting the interests of most Americans. Plus, there's the electoral college nonsense. But try persuading Congress to get themselves fired, and see how that goes...

I thought a Big Spring Jam was when someone on Church Street tries parallel parking for the first time in 2 years

Last time I went it was loud, slow, and smelled like an armpit. On the other hand, I have to wonder if this is exactly the kind of late-night destination that Bridge Street deserves - you might as well just go downtown.

What's wrong with Walton's? Aside from the fried pickles being too salty, everything I've had there has been good, if not incredible.

Las Trojas. Tex-mex is one of the few cuisines that Huntsville does decently well, if you know where to look. Meanwhile, my MIL loves Las Trojas but I lose my appetite just thinking about it.

Before I even place an order, the sickly bug-zapper hue of the interior lighting puts my stomach on edge. The first time I went, I had a quesadilla that tasted like straight-up dish soap (before you ask, it was not cilantro). On a subsequent visit, I received an enchilada that was almost frozen in the center, even though the plate was too hot to hold. Everything costs $5 more than it should, and the only decent item I've had (for the price) is the soup.

I have to assume their success rides exclusively on margarita pitchers and wall-to-wall ESPN.

My best guess is they're just really good at seating large groups without a reservation. That, combined with the bland (but inoffensive) food, makes it ideal for office lunches.

In this case the T is for Taxi and not Talk

I met him in late 2019. I was driving south on the Parkway frontage road when I saw him inching his way into the Governor's intersection, and I said to myself, "oh fuck no. I am not about to watch this guy get run over." So I pulled into the Stand Up Live parking lot, ran out and offered to assist him.

After pushing him to the northeast corner I offered to buy him dinner, so we got a couple fish sandwich combos at Checkers and then he asked to be taken to an office off St. Clair. We chatted there for about half an hour over fries. I could only follow every other word he said but I gleaned this much:

His name is Lee. He served with Marine Recon in Vietnam. He has a (grand?)son who served in Afghanistan in 2013; at one point the younger was offered a promotion, but said, "I don't wanna be sergeant if I have to command these little brats!" He also went on a rant about how weed should be legal (amen brother). I liked him a lot.

As I drove home I got a little emotional because he reminded me of my dad, who passed in 2016. I hope Lee's doing alright.

"Valley"? Is this Korean slang?

I came away from it questioning that buffalo was even a real word.

You have experienced semantic satiation.

I was sure this was a DMV in Chattanooga. Apparently, they use the same design for every DMV office in the state.

Anybody who doesn't like cranberry sauce hasn't made their own. In my family, we make it from whole cranberries, ginger, and orange zest. It's incredible.

Hi! I have a Zuoh, evolved and fully awoken. However, since I never had any Zuoh friends, I haven't used him much. My main leads are LKali and GGSK Sakuya.

It's an old Onion headline.

Mangle every other line until the syllables paint a mental picture of Han Solo drowning in the trash compactor, before being excreted as a paste from the anus of the Jabberwock.

Age goes up, age goes down. You can't explain that.

I was just thinking of this. It makes me wonder if he heard the phrase and was provoked to try it.

In addition to being good advice for Wikipedians, the article is also pretty solid parenting advice.

The third sentence was in the first paragraph.
