I see the same VW commercial (tiguan on a runway w/ 3 other brands) just about every commercial break on comedy central. Sometimes twice. I flip over to CC around 7am (cartoons) and leave it run in the background until the office starts. I've probably seen that VW ad over 100 times this week. I'm also sick of the Chris Stapleton Dodge ads (cause he's a ram, yes he am). Not really digging his new release anyhow, which is a shame because Traveller was so good.

I still prefer the diverging diamond, if only because some rear end in a top hat will always gently caress it up and slam into oncoming traffic. I hate driving through Kansas, probably going to pass through it this summer unless I detour around.

SquirrelyPSU posted:The whole point of the diverging diamond is to lessen the possibility of that. You'd have to drive over a curb. "Ain't no curb gonna stop my illiterate rear end with my big pickup, woo!" The one time I saw someone go the wrong way on the one here in the Springs (Fillmore exit), it was an absolutely ancient guy that was probably legally blind in a decade or so old truck. DDs are well designed but you're still gonna have the ancients who refuse to follow the signage because "that's the wrong side of the road! (dry fart)."

not caring here posted:And this is what happens when your driver education and testing is about on par with giving away driver's licenses in a crackerjack box. I had a hard rear end for a driving tester at the DMV. It was a low population county and everyone got him as a teenager for like, a 30 year stretch. He was the type that would put his coffee on the dash and if you spilled a drop, you'd see him again in a week. I'd been driving cars on the farm since I was 12, tractors at 13, grain trucks at 14. I failed twice. Once because the sidewalk was icy and someone fell on their rear end trying to walk by as I was doing a 3 point, weren't even in the way. I took my third test in a different county, larger population, sailed right through because I could parallel park.

I realize this is about the revolutionary war, but my mind always breaks when I watch it and I expect a civil war commercial where southerners are driving their dodges to the battlefield to fight chevys and fords, but have a factory recalled part fail along the way and they lose because only half their people show. Maybe that's a commercial for ford or chevy to make in response.

This is a pretty good interpretation. But it's also about South Park, so don't go making your brain burn over a cartoon that's largely just "the most ridiculous outcome comes home to roost." Also since they pull so heavily from pop culture, if you really need to know what the point of a character was, you have to remember what happened at the time. That miniseries was mostly about the gulf BP oil spill, when everyone was wringing hands about it because how to fix it. And yes I watch too many cartoons. Can't help my love for Towelie.

Like Ancient Aliens, South Park definitely still works well with the "get stoned, watch stupid poo poo" line of comedy. We're just tired of satire because it's loving everywhere you look now. It's a race to the bottom between reality and television. This is why we have Bob's Burgers. To cleanse the soul with lighthearted comedic fluff, instead of being pounded with irony. See also the Great North. King of the Hill, too. CRUSTY MINGE fucked around with this message at 14:45 on May 3, 2021 |

The Taste of Chicago isn't until like, July, and what the gently caress does it have to do with White Castle? Did they start selling slider hot dogs? White Castle isn't even like, a thing, in Illinois. Yeah, it's there, but with no more fanfare than anywhere else. They didn't start there. Oh, Florida. Just saw Orlando.

I love white castle burgers, but not enough to wait more than maybe 10 minutes for an order. We don't have white castles in Colorado, so until I go 1000+ miles either east or west, it's freezer burgers for me. Toss a sliced pickle on it fresh out the microwave and it's 95% there, just light on the onions.

I'll wait on trying In-n-Out. It's been a while since they opened here, but they made the news because like, 80% of their staff at all locations had covid. On second thought, I'll just stick to what I know and like already. If they're fine with making their employees handle food while sick with a pandemic virus, they're probably fine with them not keeping up with hygiene on the job.

The big difference is the amount of onions and the lack of pickle. Pickle doesn't freeze/reheat well. I love onions these days. If they could put a packet of onions in with their freezer burgers, it'd really close the deal for me to buy way more often than I should. The jalapeno ones are really good, but I see them about once a year and only at the biggest walmart with a huge freezer section.

Krystals: southern white castle. Didn't they go under recently or was that just a franchise owner tanking? Afaik white castle doesn't do poo poo when they open a new store. It'd be a line of drunk drivers and they can't have all their customers getting DUIs in one night. E: I will give Krystals credit with the chick.

BIG DRYWALL MAN posted:White Castle is absolute dogshit and Popeyes has the better chicken sandwich. That being said CFA has the best fries followed by Wendys. That's an appropriate avatar. Krystal Chicks are just small chicken sandwiches, of course they're not superior to Popeye's. But Popeye's isn't open when the bars close, so they rule themselves out of the drunk, mini-food trend for drunks. Fries are fries. If you're hung up thinking any chain is better than the other, it doesn't matter, it's still starch crisped in oil and salted. Waffle cut doesn't mean poo poo.

I realize everyone is going to have an opinion that differs with fries, so be it. But yeah, S&S does have bad fries. Always soggy as hell unless you eat them immediately. That's more of a packaging issue though, nowhere for the heat to go means soggy fries. Good patty melt though. I grew up on cottage fries. Never seen those at a fast food joint. Like a thick potato chip.

White Castle is garbage, I'm not denying that, but I'm not lining up in Orlando. I just prefer it over Krystals, but we didn't have those in Illinois when I was a kid, just WC. And how you eat your potatoes is your business. That said, Sonic tots are the worst fast food potato.  /\ the gently caress, popeye's?

fknlo posted:There's this diner in my old neighborhood in KC that makes burgers and tots that remind me of what I thought Sonic tasted like as a kid. It's so good. I ate at a lot of small farm town diners and truckstops as a kid, it wasn't common to have fast food, maybe once a month or every other week in the summer. There were no Sonics there at the time, just a handful of A&W drive-ins, which are now long dead. Sonic definitely changed somewhere along the way, because I remember really liking their food about 15 years ago. I don't know what they did (expand at a hilarious pace) but they've definitely gone downhill.

I don't trust the acid going around to actually be acid. Shrooms are pretty available, comparably, because you can just grow them in a bin under a bed. Shrooms are outdoors only for me. Park me next to a stream or river in late afternoon and let me talk to the birds. Not a fan of breathing walls.

The Memphis VA story is me sitting in there with back pain, worse than usual. The local news station was on, the kind that repeats every 30 minutes. One of their main stories that day was 3 veterans dying waiting in the VA ER over the prior year. I watched that loop for 6+ hours, line never moved, no one was being triaged. There were no doctors working the ER that night. I stormed out, bought a bottle of bourbon and drank the pain away for a few days. gently caress Memphis and their VA.

Do stores that sell grills down there not sell gas at the store too? If I go to Home Depot, I can buy gas or charcoal grills, and appropriate fuel, in one stop. If I go to walmart, I can buy the beef and chicken, in addition to the grill/fuel (walmart can suck my balls). I mean, the propane tanks are stored out front in cages, charcoal is just on a pallet in an aisle or on an endcap.
