The odd sized Lodge pieces I have don't get used much, but they're fun and deliver the goods.
I have a tiny skillet, maybe 2.5 or 3 inches. It makes a fried egg that has brown, crispy edges and fits beautifully on a biscuit. I can only do one at a time, but it's novel and appreciated by the family.
I have the big pan too, 15" I think. It almost takes 2 hands to lift, but it is great for paella or stir fry, any time you need surface area.
And I have the flat, circular pan with 2 handles. I think people use it for a pizza stone, which I have and it works fine. It fits perfectly on the large Big Green Egg, so I use it as a griddle for steak, salmon, veggies, etc. I haven't regretted any Lodge purchase.
The Red Room hands out estrogen pills as yet another form of control. If you don't behave, you don't get your daily fix. You can tell the non-compliant girls by the lack of secondary sex characteristics. Ol Washboard Wendy over there is a rebel!
Police raid bar that is "over capacity" and eject all patrons. Drag show continues in the street (that's the surprise in the title). No one is hurt. Cops take selfies with the Queens.
"This video is based on a 72-page treatment by William Goldman, Oscar-winning screenwriter of All The President's Men"
"Technotronic got their name by combining the word 'techno', meaning a sort of dance music, and 'tronic' meaning 'tronic'"
"The original 12-inch release of Pump Up The Jam came with a free horse"
I remember every beat of that, but ya know? It doesn't hold up.

They do, and as a Canadian, they should know that fellow Canadian John Hopps invented the 1st pacemaker. He's even considered the father of biomedical engineering. I dug through trying to find out if he coined the term "heartpacer," no such luck. It sounds like a Dutch translation to me.
I am outside of the loop and I appreciate your break-down. I am all for paying for useful services, but I have such a backlog of media that I need to watch, I don't benefit from Trakt. I like a paid business model, though
We should all question a "free" app that lets us spend 1 or 2 or 8 hours a day on their platform. We've gotten greedy, thinking that everything should be personal data or advertiser supported. It stinks that Trakt is cutting features while raising prices, all for a pretty simple service, but I think subscription services that protect your privacy are worth funding.
I feel like it's kind of odd to show the main character shilling fake products during an Upfront, where you are courting advertisers so that they can purchase blocks of advertising time "up front." I mean, it's a little meta, but also potentially confusing if you are trying to put your product next to Fallout's.
Of course he did.

I think Gyrate is their best album, so check that out. The Pylon Reenactment Society, which is the lead singer with other band members, is playing in Atlanta on June 19th.
Uncharacteristically easy today; I guess they wanted to give us a confidence boost before the weekend.

Uriah Heep - The Magician's Birthday (1972)
Most of my Dad's Uriah Heep record covers used to freak me out as a kid. They're pretty awesome, though.
