Thumbs up. I swear, every restaurant in my city that has really good food, big portions, and super friendly service is owned and operated by Greeks. And only a handful of them are actually serving ethnic Greek cuisine. The rest are just really kickass diners and family places.

A kid offered me 500 bucks for my Pantera ‘Far Beyond Driven’ tour shirt. Not only did it make me feel old and out of touch, but it pissed me off that he had 500 bucks to piss away on a ratty old band shirt.

A mistake politically, perhaps, as it’s widely seen as contributing to his election defeat. He was not wrong, however.

D’angelo is one of the greatest fucking songwriters of all time. I seriously wish he released music more often.

A thing to remember about the many questionable recipes from this era is that they were built upon novelty. Jello and mayo existed earlier, but by the 50s they'd transitioned form ingredients that would be a difficult and time consuming to make and use to common prepared staples.
Also: the combination is not nearly so disgusting as you might expect.
