Just a typical childless cat dad married to a childless cat lady. Los Angeles (Koreatown) resident. Originally from Buchannon, WV and Killbuck, OH (my parents had a thing for Bucks apparently).

Rum does sound nice even if it's watered down.
The prompt for Grog was to make a spaceship mock-up to get billions in funding.
But Grog's models are from a 12-year old. If you're going to steal, at least pull from some of the 70s art books on spaceships. 
Also, those chairs look like fancy camping chairs.

Nazis should be seen as fools and idiots (albeit dangerous ones) but at no point should be people like, "I want to be like that."

Half of my co-workers aren't from the US and/or are under 30 - so you can imagine the laughs after I made that obscure Simpson's reference.
Man that's a harsh response for a partner not getting your joke.

Happy marriage so I just smile and nod.

Perhaps "bread and circus" is the base of the hierarchy of needs in a modern society. Distractions != self-actualization.
Republicans and the heir donors really have figured out fear as a motivator. 
Gun violence is a serious problem! Solution? More Guns!

But I plan on taking advantage of the Fairfax station for sure, but will try the other station.
As a koreatown resident, I am excited for the extension. I already have some places starred. Fairfax is easy, but La Cienega has Saban and that indie theater nearby. 
There is also a couple of restaurants nearby (that aren't Korean), so we may explore a few options there.
I wasn't familiar with the brand and there was a moment of me going, "Oh wow the alphabet soup on Amazon finally ran out of letter combinations. "
