Crazy Talk and Sometimes Socks
I’ve made no attempt to hide that fact that I’m quite the fan of Cincinnati’s (in)famous style of chili. In fact, for a few months back in 2011, I was even compiling research to find the “best” take-out 3-way chili in Puddintopia’s award-winning 3-Way Thursday series. I swear, it was at least as scientific as … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Oyster Crackers
Here it is, Memorial Day Weekend. It’s officially the Kick-Off Weekend for Summer (which, come to think of it, I’m surprised the NFL hasn’t tried to get in on, really). All across the United States of ‘Merica, good hard-working folk will be icing down summery brews, doing a little light yard work, opening up swimming … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Hot Dogs vs. Hamburgers
Since I went to all the trouble of detailing the summer movies of 2013 that I intend to see, two of them have hit the theaters already. And somehow I’ve yet to set foot in the MegaUberCineplex or purchase a single kernel of exorbitantly overpriced, heart-clogging movie popcorn. Obviously, this makes me have a little … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Movies in theaters vs. Blu-Rays at home
I wrote a Debate post last year for Mother’s Day, back when the “Weekend Debate” was still the “Saturday Debate”. What you should takeaway from that is that last May, I was fool hearty enough to think believe could squeeze a discussion topic post out every Saturday afternoon. Clearly, this was before I realized my … Continue reading Weekend Debate, Mother’s Day Edition
Last November when I did NaNo, I temporarily put the wildly mildly popular “Weekend Debate” feature here on the blog on hiatus. Because, well, time, you know? The thing is – and this will likely come as a surprise – it’s actually more difficult to fit in my daily writing quota during the weekends than … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Ranch vs Blue Cheese (Buffalo Wing Edition)
This is by no means a new topic of complaint around here, but if you look at the picture to left, which I grabbed barely a moment ago from my desktop, you'll see that the high temperature today is supposed to reach 54 degrees. That's Fahrenheit to you and me, Russ. Oh, also, the sun … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Rudolph Car Decorations
I'm a pretty lucky guy. Among the multitude of reasons I have for saying that is the fact that I work in the kind of office environment that doesn't stand too much on formality. When the doors are closed, when it's just my department, we have a lot of laughs. Admittedly, many of those laughs … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Chewing Gum
What do two birthday parties for four year-olds and an elementary school festival have in common? Well, other than the fact that these are the activities that are effectively filling my weekend with a tsunami of near constant activity? Two words: clowns. Wait, that's only one word. Creepy-ass clowns, then. Close enough. Thankfully, I wasn't … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Send in the Clowns
Yes, I know, I know. The Weekend Debate is late again. But, look, the Reds clinched the Central Division Saturday evening, the Bengals actually won yesterday, and assuming some sort of Disney-style, Fairy Godmother-esque miracle doesn't befall my Fantasy Football competition during Monday Night Football, I should bring home a win this week. So, you … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Sriracha
Yeah, I know, it's Monday. Which, you know, barring the odd three-day weekend isn't so much the weekend anymore. So what the Hell's the point of having something called a "weekend debate" if I can't even follow-through on the one basic underpinning of the entire premise? Ahem. Yes, well, I recognize that you indeed have … Continue reading (An inexcusably tardy) Weekend Debate: Pumpkin Time
