Isn’t this basically Benihana?

I had a gull steal my hotdog on the boardwalk at the beach when I was 9, and I’ve never forgiven that bird.

Cary Grant seemed to yell all the time but I wonder if it’s because the mics weren’t as sensitive?

I have a perception filter when it comes to sports content, so I don’t interact with any of your posts that deal with sports, it’s because I did not see them.

Yes he could. The lost art of yelling. Now all the actors mumble their lines and you have to turn the captions on to know what they’re saying. Thanks Obama.

Jack Klugman was good at yelling. And Vaughn Monroe too, although he called his yelling “singing.” But both damn good yellers.

Too bad Morton Downey is no longer with us …

Doctor, where are you? You altered the timeline with that family in Pompeii: can’t you alter this timeline too?

If you're denying a transgender woman employment because you're afraid it might be seen as a political statement

a) our existence is not political
b) congrats, you're now part of the problem that perpetuates that myth

Plus more than a little circular reasoning with respect to the authority of scripture.

Mushroom risotto for dinner. And no I did not post pics of it. Nor did I make a video of myself making it. A risotto video would be about the most boring thing ever. “Here I am stirring.” “Ok, now I’m stirring some more.” “Yet more stirring.”

Social Media has evolved so much. In the early days, 65% of it was pictures of unworthy food. Now 65% of it is videos of people cooking unworthy food.

I don’t understand how anyone can feel confident that any particular set of rights will necessarily survive this administration and whatever follows it.
