The Third Shift: in Oscar nomination notes... →
thethirdshift:
I don’t ever think I’ve seen a movie as savaged as Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close critically earn Oscar nominations for Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor.
Also, I don’t care that Viola Davis & Octavia Spencer could win Oscars in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories — The Help
Stephen Daldry (Director of “Extremely loud…”)...

There is a restaurant in Beijing
spiritguide:
where they only serve penis.
Yak penis, deer penis, seal penis, snake penis.
I don’t know if I want to go or not. Generally actual phalluses appeal to me but I’m not so sure about ingesting them.
I have eaten Yak penis. It was boiled and sliced thick. Not overly tasty and very spongy and hard to chew. You aren’t missing anything by not having that penis in your mouth.

Pittsburgh Foodies
Cure restaurant just opened in Lawrenceville and we had a lovely meal there. Chef/Owner Justin Severino has put together a top notch restaurant centered around charcuterie and local game. Menu choices are limited, but everything on it was absolutely delicious.
House specialty is the Salumi plate, which consisted of bruschetta with absolutely divine lardo, mortadella with delicious chunks of...

The Vinnie Verdict
Great shitty pie, which I will take over shitty great pie any day.
The crust is extremely puffy around the edges, yet somehow light. It’s flakier than most pizza dough, and somehow the bottom of the pie managed to be very crisp and firm. All around a good platform. Cheese was your typical processed Mozzarella/Provolone mix, applied with a heavy hand. Sauce was standard stuff from a...

If SOPA/PIPA passes
or if it does not I am still excited to be going to Vincent’s Pizza Palace for my first Vinnie Pie. How did it take me this long to go to the place?

I'm glad everyone is so concerned about SOPA/PIPA
However every day that bit tormenting sites exist money is taken out of my pocket. It is stolen in lost residuals which both contribute to my pension and health care, and are also paid directly to me as part of my compensation for my work. So after you are done posting your little black square on Facebook, or blacking out your tumblr or calling your Congressperson or whatever maybe you can...

As my Compadre Stu pointed out
Joking about cocaine isn’t about making you laugh; it’s a veiled way of saying “so, you holding or what?”.

You don't care about my picks
Got killed last weekend. This time I’m on the side of the angels.
All in on Tebow. All. In. 660 to make 600. Getting 14.
Yes, I am a bad person
Just used the fact that it is Martin Luther King Day weekend as an excuse to not take a work related call.

“So the guy who wrote this book claims he had the most kills ever by a Seal sniper.”
“Bullshit. I mean, he’s the sniper with the most kills, but at least a hundred of them were done with a machine gun. That hardly counts.”
I was just told that I smell like a combination of...
Sorry, ladies, but I’m off the market

I almost wish he did. I now fear that God is a movie buff. If I have to stand before St. Peter and defend doing multiple pictures with Joel Schumacher eternity is going to be reallllly unpleasant for me.

This is a real thing
So it’s Sean Penn basically playing Robert Smith from the Cure. But he’s a retired recluse living in Ireland who still dresses in full costume. He hears that his father is sick but is afraid to fly so he takes a boat to the states. Due to his slow travel he misses his father’s passing and arrives in time for the funeral. Going through his father’s belongings, he finds...

“The Popeye” - Roast Beef, Sauteed Spinach w/ Garlic, Provolone Cheese, Au Jus @ This Little Piggy Had Roast Beef, NYC
Yes, that is a pretty great sandwich. My favorite, however, is the “That Way”, which is hand carved roast beef and a thick slab of silky fresh mozzarella on a good Italian hoagie roll. The...

And now I’m rooting so hard for Tebow. For the Steelers to win but not cover the spread would be tragic.

Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook/Larousse Gastronomique/Thomas Keller’s “Bouchon”.
Ruhlman’s “Ratio”, though I’m trying to commit the key parts to memory, and (when we’re home) my mom’s thirty-year-old copy of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I also like church and community cookbooks—some of the recipes may be horrifying, but there’s always something...

“Chain Cent,” one of the first pennies from the US Mint in Philadelphia, c. 1793, sold for a record $1,380,000 on Jan. 4 in Orlando. As MSNBC reports, “the linking rings on the back of the coin were intended to represent the original 13 colonies, but critics claimed the chain was symbolic of slavery and the design was quickly changed with a wreath replacing the chain”.
Happy Birthday, Elvis

Where have you gone, Moe Dimaggio?
Had my boy here on location with me for a month and a half, but he went back to NYC with the Wife. At least once a day I tear off a piece of whatever I’m eating and turn to feed it to him only to find he’s not there.
Also, how in the world did I wind up with a “Dogs touching boobs” hashtag? I’m afraid to search and find out.
Hate you, NFL
Every year on this weekend I wake up early and realize I have to wait several hours for football. I want it now!
Truthful Tuesday
Chyna (former WWE Star and Playboy model) is performing at a strip club this week and I’m trying to convince my pals to go.
