I need to go back to that little store kitty-corner from Tuman's. There was an incredibly fine cashier working there the only time I went in the place. Plus they make their own sausage so that's a plus, too.

I like the 60, 90, and 120 minute IPA. It really depends on what flavor and alcohol level that I want. The 60 minute is a great session beer, the others for more special days.

I was kidding about s'mores. I've never made them.

mostly because it's so completely accurate.

naw, the russians/ukrainians/poles in the neighborhood don't go to chain stores, there are a bunch of ethnic places on chicago and a couple more on western. no one speaks english in any of the places, it's like a totally separate world.

i think i've been to tuman's three times maybe, and the last time the waitstaff was all cute and all very flirty??
which is irritating, sort of, because it clouds the judgement and makes a person forget that the waitstaff NEVER ACTUALLY WANTS TO MAKE OUT WITH YOU

I used to think that about waitstaffs (staves?), but now it's the opposite: they get hit on by so many icky dudes in inappropriate ways that a nice dude like yourself actually has a pretty good shot.

rw, there's a tire place on Division across from Mas, I think it's called. It's really close to the Ashland intersection. We go there whenever we have a tire problem. They have lots of used tires there, are really quick, and it's inexpensive.

Hahahaha, what does this mean?? I see beers described this way on the menu at Hopleaf and have always been puzzled.

At the Belgian Beer Festival They Told Us That A Session Beer is just what it sounds like--one that is easy-drinking (not overpowering on the palate, and not too alcoholic) so that you can drink more than a few in a session.
― Jesse, Friday, 5 October 2007 14:53 (sixteen years ago) link
We also learned about BREAKFAST BEERS.
Re session beers: that is EXACTLY how I feel about Budweiser and also Modelo Especial.

I thought the Simpsons movie was pretty bad. There were some decent jokes but they've totally lost all idea of what the tone of The Simpsons is supposed to be. Plus WTF two-thirds of the movie not even taking place in Springfield, and most of the non-Simpson family characters (ie the funniest part of the show at this point) being reduced to one-line cameos. Needed more Milhouse. That being said, I AM NOT ARGUING ABOUT THE SIMPSONS ON THE INTERNET.

Bart is supposed to be a hellraiser, not some whiny kid with daddy issues. Marge is supposed to be perpetually loyal, not someone who ditches her husband. Lisa is supposed to be too smart, not a lovelorn, boy-crazy sap. Homer was pretty good except for lame speech about marriage. Maggie was Maggie.

There is only one other woman in the office. I need to talk to her about her printer, but she's been on the phone for at least the past hour. So, instead, I am reading Bel Canto.

Not true. She's shown this side before.
I didn't think the movie was OMG AWESOME. But it played like an above-average extended episode of the series, so I was def. entertained, even though I chuckled only intermittently.
― jaymc, Friday, 5 October 2007 15:18 (sixteen years ago) link
I enjoyed it a lot.
― Jesse, Friday, 5 October 2007 15:21 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I think there are precedents in the show for everything that happened in the movie. But we don't have to argue about it.
― Jordan, Friday, 5 October 2007 15:22 (sixteen years ago) link
The animation was great.
― KitCat, Friday, 5 October 2007 15:22 (sixteen years ago) link
I think there are precedents in the show for everything that happened in the movie.
This is true, but the precedents are all in the shittiest episodes, usually after the writers and producers lost the plot. I just feel like if you're going to make a big movie, the main characters should follow their main character points instead of minor characteristics. There are maybe like two or three episodes that deal with Lisa being boy-crazy (when she falls in love with Nelson, when she falls in love with the environmentalist dude), compared with like 1,000 episodes where she doesn't fit in because she's too smart, so I'm not sure why they would pick the former to be her defining plot line in the movie.

Too many movies based on TV shows do this -- take the sealed environment of the show and throw the characters into the "real world" (Brady Bunch, Wayne's World, Mr. Bean).

You could add the last episode of Seinfeld to that list, maybe.
