Talk Show Hosts Compared to the Conan Standard



There's a lot that I agree with here and there's quite a bit that I disagree with. I get the feeling that he started watching around "Conan" and doesn't know much prior to that. But overall, it's a worthwhile watch.

Super Sprint (NES) Speedrun



This may seem random, perhaps, but I find the movement of the cars around the curves of the track within Super Spring to be oddly satisfying. And since the aesthetic pleasure is directly proportional to the skill of the player, this world record run should be as good as it gets.

I watched this on mute, so if this guy says anything crazy, I didn't know that.

Junior Parker - Tomorrow Never Knows

While driving around, a cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows" came on the radio. Not only had I never heard a cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows" before, the very idea that one might exist had never occurred to me - covering TNK just seemed like an impossibility.

To my surprise at learning that such a cover exists, was soon added the surprise that the radio station would play a second one... and then a third.

Three covers of the same song in a row? They were evidently doing some "Olympic" thing where they played "Bronze" then "Silver" then "Gold." The first two were not great, but "Gold" was gold.

The cover worth listening to is by Junior Parker, it's from 1971 and has only 15K views on youtube.

 


This cover reminds me a bit of "Flying" another Beatles song (another Beatles song that I wouldn't expect anyone to cover) so it all comes full circle.

This episode (Episode #4) is the final episode. In previous episodes there was something about a bear and a child and in this episode, there's... someone was frightened and someone has natural power.... I'm lost. I have no idea what's going on.

Take another moment to slow down, get back to nature and visit with Indian Mr. T as he enjoys and commands the animals. 

In this episode Indian Mr. T says something about children and animals and evil. To be honest, I'm having trouble following.

Campbell's Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

 


"LIMITED EDITION"

Oh, so exclusive.

Who doesn't enjoy dipping a grilled cheese sandwich into a bowl of tomato soup? But who has time to do all that work? Well, now Campbell's has put all that goodness into just one can. What would you expect to pay for this amazing product?

So I got my hands on a few of these and tried one and am here with the results.

Upon my first hearing of this, my first guess was that Campbell's just mixed their cheese soup with their tomato soup. Having tried it, I would say that this is not the case.

I am pleasantly surprised that it does, to some extent, really taste like tomato soup with a hint of cheese flavor. The cheese seemed to me to be American but the ingredients say cheddar and Monterey jack. But whatever the case, it does really seem to have some authenticity to it and isn't just cheese soup.

Bottom line: if you're craving grilled cheese and tomato soup, it's safe to say you really are better off making the real thing, but this isn't bad by any means, not bad at all.

We're 7 episodes into Supermarket Simulator and, while I haven't posted episodes 1 through 6, they're all about the same and worth noticing.

A really enjoyable series.

Seinfeld Deleted Scenes

 


This is not a "lost episode" and it isn't even an episode at all. But it is a string of deleted scenes from "Seinfeld" all placed together and that's good enough for me.
