Another notable fact about Denny's is that their social media accounts are run by crazy people. I've been following them on Twitter ever since they came up in a list of brands with good and bad social social media presence. Denny's was in a class by itself as being indiscernible in terms of quality but un-ignorable. At the time, their banner image consisted of flying skillets shooting laser beams at an X-ray image of a human being. When I first went to their page, the most recent tweet just said "S O U P ? ?"

This article badly mischaracterizes what the phrase "jump the shark" means. It doesn't just refer to the beginning of a decline in quality. A show can go into years of decline without ever jumping the shark. The significance of the Happy Days episode wasn't that it was the end of "the good episodes," it was that it was a hamfisted attempt to inject new life into a long-running series that had passed its prime and largely run out of good ideas. To "jump the shark" is to throw a sudden curveball at the audience or to otherwise make it known that the writers' room is grasping at straws in order to keep the show relevant and to avoid boring repetition.

Arguably, none of the entries in this article fit that description. Things like the departure of a cast member, the consummation of a long-running romance, and the release of a movie tie-in (I personally though the Simpsons Movie was a slam dunk, but opinions vary) are just natural phases in the production of a long-running series.

Now, any one of these things could *lead* to a series jumping the shark. The writers could have written Barney Fife out by having him be abducted by aliens. Mr. Wilson could have been undergone plastic surgery to alter his appearance because he was on the run from the mob. But unless something comparably ridiculous happened, none of these shows jumped the shark. They just got worse.

If I had to hit a couple dozen chisels repeatedly over the course of an hour, there's a roughly 100 percent chance that I'd end up smashing my fist into that giant piece of granite at least once, and probably several times.

It's cut and all, but I think it sends a bad message about the job market when people have to resort to gimmicks in order to so much as have a decent shot at professional employment. I believe these things go viral because people see it as encouraging, as a way of saying to other recent graduates, "Think outside the box." But unfortunately, outside the box is not where most of the jobs lie, and if these things pay off at all, they won't anymore once it just becomes expected that all serious entry-level applicants will do something flashy to get their resume noticed.

This was not worth linking to. The theory does indeed seem like the ravings of a crackpot conspiracist, and Brown's feverish deconstruction of the band's name is the prime example of that. There's no evidence that the submarine facility was the inspiration for the name, other than a verbal similarity to a sometimes-nickname, which could very easily be a coincidence and would in any event be an extremely inaccessible way of referencing Nazi ideology.

To anyone who hasn't read it yet, don't bother unless you want to see how conspiracy theorists and crazy people can connect a random series of dots and convince themselves its a clear picture of nefarious intent.

I like how weird it would make me look, but I fear to think what would happen if I had to make a quick getaway.

HOW DO PEOPLE HAVE SO MUCH MONEY???

I'm nearly 30 and I still simply can't fathom how much money people have.

It seems to me that it's still possible for Morton himself to have removed the cufflinks and hidden them in the valet's sock drawer in hopes of reclaiming them and collecting the insurance money. There's a gap in time between when the two friends left, and Gene's location at that time is not specified. It's also possible that Morton took the dog out as a cover, tied it up outside and sneaked back to move the cufflinks. We don't know how far away Archie was parked, how long he tried to start his car, and whether Morton had time to go inside and draw his friend's attention to the terrace before sneaking out again. I wouldn't rule out Morton as a suspect based on the narrative given above.

You've got to hand it to her. That is one hell of an industrious child.
