Are the Canucks among us upset about Horton Hears a WHOpper?

Are the 'mericans among us upset about Mr. King Goes to Ottawa?
Not according to the posts in the Canadian thread. Fun fact, Tim Horton's was apparently once owned by Wendy's, and didn't suffer for it.
Really, Burger King ain't bad as far as fast food joints go.

Well, that's not entirely true. It was a huge dip in quality when Wendys took over. They stopped doing a lot of the actual donut making fresh in the stores.
 
It's no Burger Chef.

My mother and grandmother worked for them a long time, even getting on good terms with the guy who owned and operated all the locations in the Columbus, Ohio area. When he started expanding into Rax places, my grandmother got a ton of stock for investing in the new venture. Then the marketing guys fucked up Rax by alienating the working class people who made it successful, converting most of the places in Hardee's and selling most of the rest to Wendy's to turn into Tim Horton's. This made the stock absolutely worthless and basically ruined my grandmother's retirement plans.

You can still find a couple of Rax places in Ohio and Indiana. It's kind of like having Arby's, if Arby's was locally run and sourced. Food's excellent if you like roast beef sandwiches.

When the hell did Playboy.com become like Buzzfeed?

They DO realize we were kidding when we said we read the magazine for the articles, right?
For awhile I think Heff's son was running things and he kind of ran it into the ground (though internet porn helped), so now it's swung back in the other direction and going mainly articles. This isn't surprising, especially if Heff's back in charge: for a long time Playboy paid writers the most per a word and many well known authors have written some excellent stuff for them.
 
It's kind of true... I remember the Playboy interview of Jack Nicholson... I couldn't name you a single Playboy Bunny. I suppose I'm not a frequenter of the magazine though[DOUBLEPOST=1409100342,1409100288][/DOUBLEPOST]

So I went on one of them free sites to watch the fifth season of Archer, and THIS was the paragraph description:

"Tuesday’s episode of the Fox singing competition American Idol highlighted contestant Mere Doyle during the Boston auditions. Doyle called herself an “otaku, which is another word for anime freak.” Doyle also said anime inspired her to design and make her own kimono. The segment highlighted Doyle wearing a kimono and also other cosplay items such as a jacket worn by the titular character in Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto manga and anime. Doyle said her aspirations are to “become a singer and be successful in Japan.” Doyle sang Janis Joplin’s “Piece of My Heart” for her audition."

...I am confused, but probably not as much as someone who has never seen Archer before.
 
I'd have to find it again, but I remember Liam Neeson saying something about there can't be a Taken 3, because "at that point it's just bad parenting."
 
So if a Sean Bean movie involves him dying, then a Liam Neeson movie needs someone kidnapped. Does the ship taking off with Anakin in it count as a kidnapping?
 
Cucumber Lime Gatorade is soooo good. I am going to make some home-made cucumber lime concoction this weekend. Maybe I'll add some fresh mint. Or I'll do a seltzer type version. Yum!

The version you are viewing was created several years (4) ago(as the now defunct Smoking Jacket) to address the need to view Playboy.com in public. It contains no nudity only articles and interviews.

You want Playboyplus.com, a pay site that allows you to access all the nudity Playboy has to offer.
 
Yeah I came back just last week. I already have a degree in Linguistics but I came back from China so I can do Medical/Dental school. Unsurprisingly I'm missing a lot of the hard science prerequisites as a holder of a degree in Linguistics. I'll be doing my pre-med courses at The University of South Florida and if I do Medical school, I hope I can go back to the University of Florida (where I got my original degree). Dental school...well, this is a relatively new thought for me so I need to look into it more. I'll hopefully be shadowing a dentist over the next few months to see if I like it. Right now I'm a bio major just so I can sign up for the required courses. There really isn't a "pre-med" major.
Cool - good luck!
