in case anyone is wondering, 450 degrees is apparently the point at which pyrex casserole dishes might explode in your oven. I'm going to Arby's now.

That's exactly why I cook all my casseroles at 449.

...Arby's?

Edit/Add: Oh hey. I was thinking back to my time living in NE Ohio and I was struggling to remember the name of this pizza chain that was somewhat unique to the area. What are the most notable local pizza chains that come to mind for you?

Question... if you use the wrong "W" question on Jeopardy, is the answer incorrect?

Like if the clue was "This city hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics" and I answered "Who is Nagano" or "How is Nagano", would they have the balls to give me an incorrect answer?

I lean towards no because they let a professor say "Mackinac Island" pronounced exactly as it is spelled and they didn't buzz him incorrect. Like "Mack-i-nac Island".

It actually bugged me enough I rooted for him to lose the rest of that tournament. Also, he was just a weird dude anyway bragging about how he could defeat the "two separate people needed to fire a nuclear missle protections" because he was super tall.

Yeah, tat chicken cheddar ranch sandwich. Just too tired and irritated to wait/travel for much of anything else. It was actually two deep dish pizzas the exploding dish ruined.

With pizza chains, I'm a bad one to ask because I just buy so much national chain pizza because it's the only affordable way to do it and feed everybody. The local place for me costs around $20 just if the wife and I are getting a pizza. The only local chain I can think of is Chet and Matt's, but I think they only have a few places from Sandusky to east of Cleveland.

Arby's Mkt. Fresh -Chicken Bacon n Ranch. + Turkey n Swiss. + 2 Beef n Cheddars & 1 lg. curly fries plz.


For you gamers, thought our #6 rank was interesting...(everybody loves virtual Raymond & Seider FOMO). Last I read DRW are still "America's Team" aka 1st in # of fans out of U.S. based teams....Probably has a lot to do with the rank

Olive the Other Reindeer is a hidden gem that seems to be lost in time. By Matt Groening and voiced by Drew Barrymore its should hold your 3 year olds attention pretty well. Found the full version free on youtube. Its one of my wifes favorites.

Fantastic, thanks for the rec!

Not Christmas related, but this reminded me of another "lost in time" cartoon. I saw it as a kid back in 1994 and then never heard a thing about it my entire life. Until I thought of it one day and searched high and low to see if it was something I imagined. That was a fun few hours wondering if I was insane.

Edith Ann: A Few Pieces of the Puzzle

I missed the boat on the Hansen Bros. McFarlane's. The bloody variants sell for a nice chunk of change last I saw. Never knew they would double as X-Mas decor.

Bam Margera's Descent Is Breaking Our Hearts

always loved Jackass & the spin-off shows. Hoping Bam can pull out of this, McCarty too.

Today? Hank has been gone 20 years.

Today? Hank has been gone 20 years.

I vaguely recall something happened to him back then, but didn't remember it being death. (parts of my memory fades at times.)

Growing up in Long Island, I did listen to Howard in ~1980/81 when 1st started via 66WNBC in NY. There was nobody like him back then, he was hilarious. Stopped listening til around late '90's/00's when he had the HS Show w/ Baba-booey et al.

I was still mourning his passing and then 9/11 happened and Hank was swept under the rug. His mom was on the show just a day or two before.

Complete dud by the offense in the second half but Rasul Douglas continues to be a stud pickup.

yes. The back of a JLA seat. The base is not around.

Any gamers that can recommend a XXXX/Grand Strategy game? Paradox sale going on thru Steam. Closest I’ve ever come to the genre is Age of Empires.

Interested in stellaris, CK3, EU4, and HOI4. Seems like the DLC is basically required in some cases.
