[The MunchKING]

A real comic.

A product of a different era "Back Door Love" probably meant the guy went in and out of the back door of her house, because he wasn't supposed to be there and didn't want to attract attention.

*sings*

"Iiii wanna be your back door man... rectangular, with a wire mesh screeeeen...!"

Or I guess there's the more literal interpretation.

The ones that are open on Thanksgiving day tend to do that around here.

Yeah Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are big TRY OUR FANCY SET MEALS DAY!!!
It's stuff n' nonsense!

[The MunchKING]

How about we stop bringing the topic of the board wipe all together.
It just leads to people freaking the hell out.

It happened, it's kinda hard to just never talk about it again...

I guess that's because it's easier on the days they know they'll be packed to only have to cook one or two meal types.

How was everyone's weekend?

I went to the Aquarium of the Pacific and then to see Patton Oswalt on Saturday.
Yesterday, I just relaxed and cooked.

love Patton Oswalt live. . . but never been to the Aquarium.

is it a good one?

that's majority of it.

the other part is that the restaurants typically get folks in for those "Holidays" that don't typically come in.

so it's a chance for them to "show off" a bit their signature food, in smaller portion sizes (ie: cheaper), which typically will influence at least SOME of the customers to come back and try something on a non-special night.

I really like aquarium; a bit pricy but the monies goes toward the aquarium, the conservation of the wildlife and the city. And watching fish is very calming.
Also it was Long Beach Pride this past weekend...so it was kinda funny seeing couple and DQs parading around while families with little rugrat s**ts running around.

You know, that makes sense to me!

Logic!

Patton Oswalts bit about Robert Evans is fantastic, even better if you're actually familiar with Robert Evans because it seeems accurate

I never heard of such a thing, although that may be because that sounds like outside the US, as there's no holiday here today.

It's Victoria Day weekend here, the Unofficial Start of Summer. Mind you I worked Sat and Sun.

The holiday was...college graduation..

So you aren't Canadian?

Morning people.

Morning.

I'm enjoying it here. . .

Me too.

That sounds awesome. I worked, but today is a weekend day too, but my brain is still fried

Yup. And easier to get the right amount of supplies, etc.

Afternoon, everyone.

No! You're ruining it for me!!!

Also, don't underestimate the innuendo in pre-'60s pop culture. There's a lot of stuff they weren't allowed to say, which they still managed to convey to the audience with a lot of code language, and winking and nudging.

So, I spent my train rides today rewatching Chaplin (which is a hugely underrated film in its own right) and got to thinking, what's everyone's opinion on the man?

Personally, whilst I appreciate the skill he showed in filmmaking and the debt that filmgoers owe to him for making the medium the popular art form it is, I don't actually enjoy his movies very much, and personally prefer The Marx Brothers.

Thoughts?

So, I'm watching a bunch of Gokaiger and I love the show, but after episode 48, I have to ask.
spoilers:

How in the heck did Marvelous beat Basco? This is the guy who strolled through the team despite them using three sets of teams, loled at and threw back the Gokaiger's finishers and was pretty much untouchable. It just seems kinda odd that Marvy could win that fight on his own.
