The Beaverton is The Onion's smartass kid brother who tries hard, but isn't actually funny.

Life is too short to eat bad Xmas cookies. Eat the chocolate chips and save the shortbread and sugar for the annoying uncle.

I still haven't given up on the idea that they should go to the library and find actual books and publications for research rather than using search. But I have, somewhat reluctantly, decided that computer catalogs are an acceptable replacement for card catalogs.

It is beautiful, but it also reminds me of The Ring, and that was freaking scary.

I was ready to pay any price to get that Underdog story. Oh well. It's still a fun cover.

How many times did you watch it before coming to this realization? Did you also know that the narrator is Jean Shepherd who wrote the original stories that the screenplay (also Shepherd's work) is based on?

Assuming ALL of anything is good or bad is a sucker's bet. However, there comes a point when you have to weigh the odds and choose whether or not to continue probing that haystack for needles.

I'm old, so that is how I learned to listen to music, and the way that I appreciate most. But I also have found out that since playlists have become ubiquitous, albums seem less organized and more like unordered collections.

I love instrumental music, but not movie scores. One of my big frustrations is finding an instrumental piece I love, no matter the genre, and then having Spotify/Pandora/YouTube decide I must want to listen to movie scores.
So, try jazz, classical and prog rock.

True wireless are bound to get lost. I lost one at breakfast. It fell into a bowl of cereal and was ruined.
So, for bed, I keep the semi-connected type and true wireless for the gym. While I'll never again spring for really expensive earbuds, I seem to have acquired an expensive collection of them.

I disagree with your premise, but not with your conclusion.
But I'll be damned if I'll fight about it.
