Maru did much to make the Internet synonymous with cats. RIP.

This was a fun rabbit hole. Found Tatooine fairly quick just starting a slow search around the Outer Rim. Don't forget Dantooine. It is much too far out to make an example. . . Was surprised to see Tatooine right on top of Geonosis. Naboo doesn't seem all that important with regard to trade routes and I tried but failed to find some detail around the Kessel Run.

Today I learned why I don't like Pringles.

Frau Blücher approves.

This is a bunch of crap that I find highly upsetting. There was no human involvement anywhere in a position to question the process? Or maybe just to care?

Needs mustard. That's all I got.

I don't normally associate tomatoes with sweetness

Which is why Heinz ketchup sucks.

That's so Canadian.

As a corollary to my above comment, one might not want to watch the linked video if one's Blood Alcohol Content is above a certain level. One misses parts from LOLing and has to watch over again.

I am sitting on my front porch at the end of a long day, enjoying a few fingers of Scotch. In my hyper-relaxed state, I am reading and marveling at the just written corollary linking humankind's first airborne flight to the creation of the Corn Dog. I find it amusing in a neato sort of way. This was obviously written by someone who deeply loves a good Corn Dog (demonstratably argued and established by article's end). I salute you sir.

I've got one but nowhere near the perfection of the linked. Missing the pour spout for starters which makes it hard to use if I want to decant something for a gathering. On the bottom opposite SOUVENIR BOTTLE it says: 27 YEARS OF STUBBORNNESS BUT WE MADE IT. I popped over to ebay and checked how much similar bottles have actually sold for. Not perfect but $20-$45.00. Makes the price on the linked item a bit suspect I think, but it someone wants one that's not a reproduction they're out there.

At one end of my soda spectrum is Cream Soda and at the other is Moxie. Yum! The cream soda I grew up with was clear and I always preferred that to the caramel/brown version. Maybe Faygo, don't remember. And Diet Cream Soda is an oxymoron. Waistlines be damned!

Great article. Schlitz was once my goto beer - when I wasn't driving into Canada to buy Carlsberg. Didn't know much about the legal stuff back then, but boy did I know skanky beer when I tasted it. Hello Strohs. Also loved the "...an ironic middle finger to all the microbrews currently flooding the market" line. Once upon a time, microbrews were the dominant beers. New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin were kings of the world when it came to beer. It was like that nationwide, but my neck of the woods mostly featured beers from those states. And they were all affordable. Remember the mystique around Coors? Only available west of the Rockies. . .
