I ate a Dunkin’ Beyond Sausage sandwich the other day
It was fine. I might even give it slightly better than fine. That little patty packed a nice spicy, sausage-y punch, although the softer texture didn’t provide the satisfying juxtaposition you get from pork sausage and the patty itself seemed a bit small. It’s acceptable. By far the biggest drawback of the Beyond sandwich isContinue reading “I ate a Dunkin’ Beyond Sausage sandwich the other day”
Sox trade Mookie, everything sucks
After far too long of a process, the Boston Red Sox dealt All-Universe outfielder Mookie Betts and All-Dink starting pitcher David Price to the Los Angeles Dodgers in what turned into a greasy baseball threesome. The Dodgers sent promising young outfielder Alex Verdugo to the Sox in return and then shipped solid Non-Dink starter KentaContinue reading “Sox trade Mookie, everything sucks”
Tell me which Democratic presidential candidate you’re voting for and I can tell you the domain of your email provider
Whilst pondering this evening’s Iowa caucuses I devised my favorite tweet in a very long time. If you tell me you're voting for Biden I will know for a fact you have a Comcast email address. — Scott Colby (@ColbyKnowsBest) February 4, 2020 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js When I finished chuckling at my own wit I realized IContinue reading “Tell me which Democratic presidential candidate you’re voting for and I can tell you the domain of your email provider”
Cheaters usually prosper
As expected, Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred came down hard on the Houston Astros for their camera and trash can based sign stealing during the 2017 season. General manager Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch were both suspended from the game for a year, and the Astros themselves were fined and stripped of severalContinue reading “Cheaters usually prosper”

I enjoyed Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker…but that trilogy stinks
I don’t expect much from modern Star Wars movies. Give me some fun Jedi shit, a few neat spaceships, and a couple interesting new creatures and generally keep things moving I’ll gladly fork over $15 and a couple hours of my time. That’s why I think Rise of Skywalker is the best Star Wars movieContinue reading “I enjoyed Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker…but that trilogy stinks”
When I’m elected president
When I’m elected president, I promise to battle for more accurate cup measurements on coffee carafes. Hardworking Americans should not have to suffer through the vile lies of Mr. Coffees that promise six cups and then spit out a measly two and change. I shall solve our tight napkin holder crisis on day one ofContinue reading “When I’m elected president”
I did not enjoy Uncut Gems
I went into Uncut Gems knowing next to nothing about it, other than that Adam Sandler is prominently involved and that the movie’s generating a bit of Oscar buzz. I left questioning every positive thought I’ve ever had toward film critics. Spoiler alert, by the way. Uncut Gems is an ugly, abrasive, senseless waste ofContinue reading “I did not enjoy Uncut Gems”
Stupid Amazon Ring conspiracy theory
I chuckle like an idiot whenever I hear some newscaster use the term “porch pirates.” It always makes me picture Jack Sparrow swinging onto someone’s front stoop to snag a box of freshly delivered goodies. In reality, it’s always just some disappointment in a cheap hoodie. That makes me sad. Such a news report, spicedContinue reading “Stupid Amazon Ring conspiracy theory”
