  1. Anyone watch The Unicorn? In one of the last episodes, there was a handy-dandy stone bench right in front of the protagonist's dead wife's grave. A couple of episodes later, gone!
  2. Can anybody tell me whether Carl Ruiz pronounced his name "Ruez" (like Guy Fieri does) or "Ruiz" (like everyone else does)?
  3. I never felt Tim had anything useful to say on Project Runway, and often when designers followed his advice, they were dinged for the results. And I lost any respect for him after his cruelty on Under the Gunn. I felt the donut-vagina was more avant garde than haute couture. I used paper clips. Less chance of hurting myself.
  4. Oh my yes. (Compare and contrast smug Conrad (The Resident) trying to pull exactly the same thing off with a nurse - no, no, no. Just creepy.)
  5. https://www.grubstreet.com/2020/03/floyd-cardoz-coronavirus-rip.html Floyd Cardoz was the chef widely credited with popularizing Indian food in New York. He is known for his restaurant Tabla. He also appeared on Top Chef Masters.
  6. Another great role model from the world of professional sports.
  7. Sorry about that (saying no-one got it, etc). I was obviously having a coronavirus-induced brain fart when I imagined it.
  8. Is Delila's boyfriend a boy scout, or does he just look like one?
  9. I couldn't believe the Lohengrin/Wagner clue was worth $2,000. And yet still nobody got it.
  10. Isn't there some kind of papal/archbishop of Canterbury dispensation in this kind of emergency?
  11. People in AA are discouraged from dating for the first year. This may be unrealistic, and is not backed by any actual research as far as I know, but for Will and whatsername to jump into bed seemingly minutes after her completing rehab is stupid and ridiculous. Especially for so-called medical professionals. She obviously isn't taking her sobriety seriously.
  12. Given Alex's hesitation before he accepted the answer, I suspect they originally expected the whole thing but Alex was given the go ahead to accept just St Francis.
  13. Anyone else think "Lend and lease" shouldn't have been accepted?
  14. This just seemed like a mash-up of This is Us and A Million Little Things. Tragic early dad death. Unintended middle-aged pregnancy. Atypical sexual/gender identity of young actor. Four-way bromance. Blah blah blah. And who the hell puts a black garter belt on a months' old baby's head for a funeral? With a black net shower sponge glued on to it?
  15. My ex-husband did the same thing. Annoyingly as hell, isn't it
  16. Who's Alexa? (And no, I can't ask her because I refuse to give Amazon any more money or compromise my privacy any more than it already is.)
  17. Too small for a sign! It's south of Lake Oswego, off I205 if you're ever craving some rude tchotkes.
  18. Not to mention Wankers Corner. (Happily, they sell tee shirts, beer mugs etc; great souvenirs for visiting British family and friends.)
  19. It's not horrible. Anne Burrell is quite toned down, and the contestants seem pretty reasonable. The Guy Fieri restaurant food looked like crap - no surprise there. White trash portions of white trash food presented by a guy with white trash earrings (presumably diamonds but could just as easily be CZ).. The mustachioed guy (Jeff?) commenting on the "old" chefs was ironic considering that between his porn 'stache, glasses, and oil slick hair he styles himself as a 50-year-old.
  20. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "unctuous" does not mean delicious or rich or anything positive. This time my ire is aimed at Ming, who used it at least three times when describing Antonio's risotto.
  21. For someone with a "mild" case of whatever it was, April (or rather the actress) was the loudest and fakest screamer Chicago Med has ever had. Having missed the opportunity to kill off Maggie, they let April live too. Boo. And why are all the female characters such humousless, sanctimonious know-it-alls?
  22. The acting during that scene was appalling, especially from Natalie, who sounded like a D-list news presenter reading from a cue card. Count me as another yelling "pick up the pill".
