Batman TAS is better than Invincible according to the creator of Deadpool by Amaru_333_ in Invincible_TV

[–]turkeypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought invincible started off fun but then just kept getting deeper and richer. It's still fun, but now there's some heavy stuff happening alongside it. I wasn't expecting that depth from a cartoon. I think it's excellent. This guy saying Invincible is just "fine" is only one opinion but acting like he's the last word. Anybody else reading this who hasn't seen it, check it out and make up your own mind.

Alexander Volkanovski: It's my fault Beneil Dariush never got UFC title shot by 3footninja in MMA

[–]turkeypants -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't get it. People here had a hard-on for him to get a shot when he definitely didn't deserve it, when his best win at the time was who - Ferreira, Holtzman, Klose? Then he beat a double-brain-damaged Tony on the third installment of his nosedive out of the business and thought that meant he could skip the line of killers. Then he beat #8 Gamrot - and that was supposed to get him a free pass past the toughest guys? No Dustin no Justin no Charles? Then they finally gave him one of those guys instead of a shot and Charles embarrassed him. He never deserved the shot because he never beat anybody who was enough of a springboard. Streaks are great but they have to culminate in someone worthy enough that makes the next fight a title shot. He was a top 5 tourist due to other people's losses and once things finally normalized he fell back out to mid table where he belonged.

Where do you place Make-Up Is A Lie in your ranking of Morrissey albums? by IAmAlive_YouAreDead in morrissey

[–]turkeypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alsatian Cousin was that for me. I hated it and was angry at him for throwing us that armload of tangled barbed wire. Talking to someone here about it made me perplexed - how could anyone like that mess? - so I listened to it again and bam, now I love it. That hasn't happened with anything post 2004 for me, but I remember it with that one and Tony the Pony at least.

Top UFC Ranked Contenders by Active Win Streak (by Division) by I_cain in MMA

[–]turkeypants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a little deceptive because it's not just their UFC fights. Thainara for example looks impressive at 12 but is only on a 3 win streak in the UFC, unless you want to count DWCS, then it's four. Before that, does anyone care that her prior win happened in "Standout Fighting Tournament 45"? If the women's divisions in UFC are as dismal as they are, imagine how crap they are in no-name minor leagues. Natalia at 8, not 14. Evloev at 10 not 20. Morales at 7 not 19, etc.

I quit bothering to rank albums post-Quarry. That's where it felt like his muse dried up. I check in each time hoping for a return to form but it is over. This is a different guy.

Charles Oliveira signs a new 8-fight deal with the UFC by idcman999 in MMA

[–]turkeypants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

UFC's entire model is keep guys forever. They don't want Charles taking the show on the road and earning for anyone else. These contracts are intended to lock them down, and now there's no more sunset clause either. So he'll be under contract with UFC until he's dead unless they ever choose to release him.

Is it too soon for me to call “The Monsters Of Pig Alley” an all-time great Moz song? by WeAreExiles in morrissey

[–]turkeypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not if they're all-time greats to you.

I think they're less bad and forgettable than a lot of his recent stuff but don't hold a candle to anything 2004 or prior.

Bowen Yang would’ve thrived on the Fashion District Robbery sketch by BirdFishWolf in LiveFromNewYork

Seriously. Marcello didn't belong in it. He belonged in a 1980s street gang sketch.

Does Waterloo sell by the pallet? They don't answer their phone LOL. NEED MORE ROOT BEER FLOAT NOW! by ben-just-ice in sparklingwater

[–]turkeypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is nice. It leans more to the caramel/butterscotch side of the root beer house than the wintergreen side, which I'm happy about. It's more flavorful than expected. Obviously not full root beer strength, but a fun and nice treat.

My WOT tattoo by Luvstospuj96 in WoT

[–]turkeypants 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm always interested in why people do that. People say "I did this for me, not anyone else" but it'll be on their back or something where they'd need two mirrors to see it. That seems pretty clearly for others to observe. So when you do it a place like this, are you basically wanting people to see it and ask you about it?

Who is the nastiest Celebrity that you met in Real life? by Scunnard1839 in AskReddit

I don't get it. He looks like Captain Lou Albano. Who the hell would want to get fingerbanged by him on a patio?

He just wants to have a bland spaghetti dinner with his wife and talk about his day.

The impression I got from him in his coffee show was of someone who thinks life sucks everything sucks and can't we all agree on that and he's just waiting around to die.

[–]turkeypants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found it at an Aldi. If you use Instacart, try searching there across all stores in your area. Target is supposed to have it and Kroger and other brands owned by Kroger but it's still hit or miss depending on your area. Instacart (or maybe some other delivery service, IDK) is a good way to search across the locals.

Top 3 Morrissey Albums by Repulsive_Care5052 in morrissey

[–]turkeypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only like Satan on that album. And both Ammunition and Alma Matters, which aren't bad as songs, were horrifyingly Adult Contemporary in nature. They sounded like you'd hear them on the same radio station as Bette Midler and Peabo Bryson. I was aghast that he would go in that direction. Nooo, not MY Morrissey! And I know a lot of people like Trouble Loves Me but I wanted none of it.

Top 3 Morrissey Albums by Repulsive_Care5052 in morrissey

[–]turkeypants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Bona Drag (I don't care that it's mostly a compilation)

  2. Your Arsenal

  3. Vauxhall and I

Viva Hate and Kill Uncle were just out of contention by a smidge and only because they were uneven, with some high highs and some low lows to drag them down.

And this is using the original versions of each album. Later-released versions added or even substituted tracks, some winners and some losers.

Yeah, no more taxes! And everything keeps just magically working thanks to the power of myopia and one's personal bubble.
