"Katanas are forged to have the hardest, and therefore keenest, edge of all swords, and they can slice through objects few other swords can, like tree trunks and machine gun barrels."

Only in movies.

"Silver Bells" is mentioned as " . . . the only "classic" Christmas song to be introduced in a Hollywood movie."
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, was introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis.
Its not a "Classic" Christmas song?

Pretty good. However the battle with Buddy Rich was better.

Grohl could use a few drum lessons.

So, does Chipolte have a cup discussing food safety?
So far, they have shut 43 restaurants in Oregon and Washington following an outbreak of E.coli linked to at least 22 cases. That outbreak is Chipotle's third food safety incident this year.

I was born and raised in Utah, and believe me, the liquor laws are liberal compared to the 1990s. Back then, most bars could serve only beer. Wine and liquor was sold only in State -owned liquor stores--which closed at 9 PM and were never open on Sundays or election days.
If you went into a bar and ordered a mixed drink, it wasn't going to happen. Unless you were a member of a private club, and brought in your own liquor, which you had to keep in a locker. Or if you went into one of those rare bars which had a state liquor licensed mini-bottle store. Want a Gin and tonic? This was the drill: You order the drink. Bartender fills a glass with ice, tonic water, and lime wedge. Meanwhile, you go to the mini-bottle counter and purchase your gin. Then you had to pour the gin in the glass yourself.

Oh, poor babies . . .

Meanwhile in Mordor . . . Orcs have raised £19GBP in 2 days to fund the destruction of Minas Tirith! So far, 0% funded of £1,000,000 GBP goal, however, with 59 days left, they might have a chance.

I worked in a bar when I was in college, and saw plenty of broken glassware.
Every bar and pub I know,hand-washes their mugs, pilsners and pints in a sink behind the bar.
Bar glassware takes a considerable beating even when the patrons are behaving.
On slow nights we’d make a few bucks on bar bets that we could drop a glass in the floor and catch it before it broke.
Those 9 oz water glasses with the wavy sides you see in diners and chain pancake houses will bounce on a hard floor if dropped correctly.
We’d drop one from about waist height on the tile floor, and it would bounce twice. If it hit the floor a third time it would shatter.
One customer explained how it worked. Apparently, the tempered glasses would absorb the energy of impacts. Eventually. the glass could take no more and even the slightest tap would cause it to shatter.
I’m not sure, but I suspect the same principle applies to bar glass stress as it applies to Prince Rupert’s drops.

Are red-dyed pistachios even available anymore?
I haven't seen any in about 25 years.

Kanye has a great ear for talent.
Kanye doing this song is gonna do for that Mercury guy what he did for that new guy Paul McCartney.
This Queen guy gonna be huge.

Given, his first name means “God is salvation" and his family name is French for "the beef." So, he is really named "Holy Cow," which makes me suspect he is not from this planet, and certainly not from Guildford.

Unfortunately, they only sell them in Europe.
