Both the article and the comments on that Max and Ruby thing made me cry with laughter. - ralph wiggum Feb 19, 16:25 3
- There's a show here called Animal Mechanicals, which I tolerate only by imagining David Fincher taking it over to produce a version in which the team - Reagen Feb 19, 16:35 2
  - God, Nick used to love Animal Mechanicals. Nice cutural stereotyping with that whiny, nasally Dragon robot, guys. - ralph wiggum Feb 19, 16:40 1
    - They needed to "accidentally" knock Sasquatch off into that abyss. The show would be over in 2 minutes. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 16:43

  - Though in fairness, St Patricks Day is a bigger asshole magnet than a bucket of free Axe samples. -- nm - TFox Feb 19, 16:12 8
    - or was the only time I've seen somebody think a major street was a good place to... - Mel Feb 19, 16:37

I'm impressed that the baby slapper's argument includes "Even if he did say 'n*gger baby', that doesn't make him a racist." -- nm - TFox Feb 19, 15:49 3

Huh. Opera is going Webkit. That leaves IE and Firefox as the only non-webkit top browsers. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 19, 15:28
someone took the domain for Guy Fieri's Times Square restaurant. This is amazing. -- (link) - Tim Feb 19, 15:26 72
- ok, who the fuck is Guy Fieri and why does everyone hate him? -- nm - ty97 Feb 19, 15:43 54
  - He is an exponent of the current unhealthy comfort food trend. - con_carne Feb 19, 15:57 4
    - Uh, yeah, no, I don't think that has anything to do with why people don't like him. -- nm - Stephen Feb 19, 16:00 3
      - Lacking in imagination, I say! -- nm - con_carne Feb 19, 16:07
      - yah, that'd be way down on the list. he's no paula deen. -- nm - b. Feb 19, 16:02 1
        
        y'all :) -- nm - peglegpete Feb 19, 16:05
  - REPOST: unaired SNL sketch where Guy Fieri responds to NYT review. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Feb 19, 15:55 2
    - Sorry, he (Moynihan as Guy) addresses the NYT in this one. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Feb 19, 15:59
    - f***ing region locking. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:58
  - As for the hate he's high energy and the restaurant in question doesn't have very good food. -- nm - tl Feb 19, 15:48 2
    - Yes, it debuted to one or two terribly bad reviews - but a few came in after that that weren't so bad -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:49 1
      - very sad but not terribly surprising -- nm - Bacon Feb 19, 15:49
  - Next time on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives! - Stephen Feb 19, 15:47 31
    - word to the im. Love DDD -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 16:20
    - I think people like what he covers in the show - foodie places you want to find -- nm - JenBro Feb 19, 15:54 18
      - without judging on the quality of them, the places he goes are the opposite of "foodie". -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 16:09 17
        
        I think for the most part you are correct, but there are some gems tossed into the mix. -- nm - JenBro Feb 19, 16:20
        
        Depends on how narrowly you want to define foodie. -- nm - Stephen, signing his NLI to play for ST Feb 19, 16:17 10
        
        to me the term implies some level of fine dining - Reagen Feb 19, 16:21 9
        
        I ate at this place in Vegas last year. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Feb 19, 16:40 1
        
        It doesn't have to be foreign or expensive for you to care about how it's sourced and how it's prepared - con_carne Feb 19, 16:47
        
        I don't think the fine dining aspect of things has been part of "foodie"-dom for years, not since there were more people called - b. Feb 19, 16:36 4
        
        Guys, we are Right. Here! - Google definitions and Urban Dictionary Feb 19, 16:43 3
        
        None of which says being a foodie is confined to liking only the type of food served in 5 start restaurants. -- nm - Stephen Feb 19, 16:59
        
        I looked at the wikipedia entry after I posted. it agreed with me, so I didn't link. I knew someone would if there was disagreement oof any sort. - b. Feb 19, 16:55 1
        
        heh :) -- nm - Stephen Feb 19, 17:13
        
        Sell there's the difference then ... I would consider the place in Nevada where they had 15 different Mole' sauces to be a "foodie" place - JenBro Feb 19, 16:28
        
        Foodie is getting a broader definition. Adventurous eating is part of it. -- nm - tl Feb 19, 16:23
        
        They're a mix. Some are neighborhood places that wouldn't show up on a list for tourists. - tl Feb 19, 16:13
        
        Exactly. Don't make macaroni and cheese for dinner and then call yourself "a foodie." -- nm - con_carne Feb 19, 16:11 1
        
        Have you even watched his show? - Stephen, signing his NLI to play for ST Feb 19, 16:19
        
        to his credit, that's not always true. his attention to some places, and the added traffic it brings, has actually annoyed foodies in various areas. -- nm - b. Feb 19, 16:10 1
        
        I didn't know that ... But am not surprised. -- nm - JenBro Feb 19, 16:23
    - I think the high-energy aspect of him is a huge turn-off for people -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:48 10
      - I like him ok, in general; but I can't watch his cooking show much because the affectation-overload usually starts to grate quite fast. - b. Feb 19, 16:01 9
        
        There was one episode of Guy's Big Bite where he put heads of romaine lettuce he cut in half and brushed with olive oil on a grill - JenBro Feb 19, 16:05 5
        
        yeah, its great and I love to tease vegetarians coming to a BBQ saying, so'k I'll grill you a salad -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 19, 16:58
        
        I've had something like that, and it was delicious. - b. Feb 19, 16:09 1
        
        I honestly could not parody his recent stuff better than's been done here. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 16:10
        
        Ooh... we've been making bleu cheese wedge salads at home lately... we'll have to try this when the grill comes out this spring! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 19, 16:08 1
        
        Don't leave it on too long - and grill marks (charcoal) totally rock it (IMHO) - and if you keep the blue cheese chunks smallish and put - JenBro Feb 19, 16:39
        
        Indeed. And, at least here in Canada, it seems that Food Network can't go for more than ten god damned seconds without showing him. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 16:02 2
        
        My studio space in a block away from a restaurant featured on DDD, I keep running into Canadians looking for it when I'm locking up my bike. -- nm - tl Feb 19, 16:08 1
        
        The three places we visited when I was in Chicago that Covington Cat found were awesome! -- nm - JenBro Feb 19, 16:46
  - Mostly famous for this show Diners. Drive-Ins and Dives -- (link) - amoxy Feb 19, 15:46
  - He's the host of Diners Drive-Ins and Dives and he's been on a few other shows. (And he hosted a gameshow. WTF?) - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:46 3
    - Actually, I believe there was also mention a while ago of him being homophobic too. - JenBro Feb 19, 15:50 2
      - Yeah, disgruntled fired coworkers = probably not the best source. - Dr.Vermin Feb 19, 16:04 1
        
        I keep watching his shows trying to see if there's any "himt" of it ... You know? I mean I don't want it to be true. - JenBro Feb 19, 16:53
  - Celebrity chef and game show host. - tl Feb 19, 15:45 4
    - I should know this, but.... - prayformojo Feb 19, 15:46 3
      - It's the one where the contestants do stupid little party tricks under time limits -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:47

- This guy claims to be the responsible one. Slate called him a hero. -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:41 5
  - I'm supressing a really strong urge to find someone to hold him down whilst I wash his hair. -- nm - b. Feb 19, 15:59
  - That's an awful low bar to be setting for "hero"dom. -- nm - Stephen Feb 19, 15:49 1
    - I'm not disagreeing. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:57
  - Yeah, I just RT'd his original tweet. -- nm - Tim Feb 19, 15:43 1
    - Yes, that's how I found it. Thanks. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:44
- that's brilliant. -- nm - mafic Feb 19, 15:40
- I think I just died from laughing. -- nm - amanda Feb 19, 15:38
- It's missing something. Oh, I've got it - the sunglasses tucked behind the fat headneck. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:34
- And there's my belly laugh for the day - con_carne Feb 19, 15:32
- I don't get it. Those look like perfectly normal menu items. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 19, 15:30

  - "Served with a side of Bud Light you have to wring out of a Hawaiian shirt." -- nm - Tim Feb 19, 15:39 1
    - That's the one that got me -- nm - con_carne Feb 19, 16:00
Mike Tyson's one man show, "Undisputed Truth" has been cancelled. - GregW Feb 19, 15:22 3

  - especially Tyson, who needs a translator -- nm - peglegpete Feb 19, 15:29
- When he was in Indy, he sorta wandered around downtown all day. - Spawn Feb 19, 15:24
Ballsy social media marketing. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Feb 19, 15:17 2
- I feel like I just made some sort of list after looking at that. -- nm - Tim Feb 19, 15:19 1
  - You think that's bad, I clicked it at work. It's not NSFW, mind you, but it's clearly not work-related. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:19
Qale: are you going to GP Charlotte? -- nm - Tim Feb 19, 15:16
M5.7 quake in Tonga. If these palm trees are rockin', don't come a-knockin'. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:13 4
