I said it before and I'll say it again....
Game over, man. Game over!

When the tundra is outgassing faster than grass can release, we're hosed.
When the ocean methane is outgassing enough that it can be seen with the naked eye in open ocean among the waves, we're toast.
That makes us soggy toast.

Did you ever go over to a friend's house to eat
And the food just ain't no good?
I mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas are mush, and the chicken tastes like wood.

Has Michael Stipe joined the Soggy Bottom Boys?

This is the best. You couldn't have wished for a better reaction than that bolt-upright realization and scream at the camera. Then his floundering toward shore, culminating in that soggy miffed face at the very end. What a goldmine!

Have you ever went over a friends house to eat
And the food just ain't no good?
The macaroni's soggy, the peas are mushed,
And the chicken tastes like wood
So you try to play it off like you think you can
By saying that you're full
And then your friend says, "Mama, he's just being polite
He ain't finished, uh-uh, that's bull!"
So your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie
And you say that you already ate
And your friend says "Man, there's plenty of food"
So you pile some more on your plate
While the stinky food's steamin', your mind starts to dreamin'
Of the moment that it's time to leave
And then you look at your plate and your chicken's slowly rottin'
Into something that looks like cheese
Oh so you say "That's it, I gotta leave this place
I don't care what these people think,
I'm just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous
With this ugly food that stinks"
So you bust out the door while it's still closed
Still sick from the food you ate
And then you run to the store for quick relief
From a bottle of Kaopectate
And then you call your friend two weeks later
To see how he has been
And he says, "I understand about the food,
Baby Bubba, but we're still friends"

Hmm....is it, government by a certain sort of people in line with some linear, self-indulgent, sociopathological-narcissistic principles?? This fits well with ANY 'ocracy' in the long list historically.

Rachel Maddow and Al Jazeera: Like cold-coffee stirred with a soggy cigarette

Despite the fact that it's entertaining to watch, these are actually pretty terrible.

I've never had a good one, they're typically either cut unevenly, so half the potato turns out more like chips, and the other half undercooked. Oily, they weren't spread out far enough so tons of oil got trapped in the actual spiral, or soggy, but that one isn't really about the potato itself, more the fact that the oil they're using to fry it is either too cold, or they don't leave it down long enough.

Whenever I see them at ribfest now, I just walk past them and grab a Bloomin' onion, or whatever it's called instead.

I figure I'm in the minority, but I will never get the appeal. I have gone to many of the highly recommended Pizza places in New York and surrounding areas, and New York pizza is greasy, soggy, falls apart, and has had sub-par everything.

I love deep-dish, but I've only had the chance to eat it one time.

Being originally from California, I have to say I dearly miss Round Table Pizza where I live now. Probably the only time I've been a fan of a chain-restaurant, ever, but everything from their slightly-spicy and rich sauce, to their delicious dough and cheeses is perfect to me.

California Pizza Kitchen is pretty good too if you like your pizzas "different".

But FUCK New York style pizza. I just don't get the appeal. I probably never will.

microwave + toaster oven = not too burnt not too soggy.


This is pretty much my secret to reheating anything. Microwave first until the middle starts to feel it, then toaster out the soggyness. Works on a surprising variety of things.

microwave + toaster oven = not too burnt not too soggy.

This is awesome. I eat a lot of take-out food and am constantly annoyed by places that seal their steamy hot food inside a container so that within one minute it's mooshy and disgusting. I usually crack the lid on everything before I take it home. This is also basically why I stopped getting delivery pizza once I developed some taste... it's always a soggy mess.

does anyone else think peter jackson made a soggy mess out of LOTR?

Well, to be fair the source material is a bit soggy to start with. Don't get me wrong, I love the books, but they do have a lot of padding (Tom Bombadil, the battle of the Shire) that the movies wisely cut. Also the pacing in the movies is better. PJ was clever in moving the encounter with Shelob to the third movie as Sam and Frodo really don't have a lot do in book six.
As for the film version, it had moments of absolute brilliance. Theodren's speech before the battle of pellanor fields still gives me goosebumps. I watched Return of the King at an outdoor cinema and half the audience stood up and cheered at that scene.


yeah you're right. lots of singing too..
hard for any movie to live up to such colossal and subjective expectations. but fuck me sideways if staring into frodo's eyes for the gazillionth time wasn't somewhat suckingly annoying. ahh...i'm such a nitpicky dick
