Politics And Current Events

Rents went on a trip to Ice/Greenland. They loved it. I believe where they were just got their first Michelin rated restaurant as well. I'm looking forward to the day when I can travel to specific places based on Michelin rated eats. For the time being, featured on diners, drive ins and dives will be just fine.

Iceland takes the cake for unpronounceable names. I bet it's fun for a tourist to try and navigate to Eyjafjallajökull.

Well, just follow the smoke and pyroclastic flow.

No reason to keep eating that CFA hate chicken. By all accounts, Popeyes' new chicken sandwich is better.

[Freddy Rumsen]

I know that's the woke thing that's been artificially guerrilla marketed on social media, but it is just inaccurate.

I like popeyes and ate at the one in Wilkinsburg all the time because yankees can't cook, and #ItsBoTime has my heart, but Chik-fil-a is better

Have you actually tried the new sandwich?

[Morkle]

Yea, sorry, there's just no way it's better. That's a straight marketing ploy, every popeye's I've ever been has been 1000% dirty.

[Willie Kool]

I'll try one this weekend, but won't have anything to compare it to...

[shmenguin]

popeye's and cfa are both pretty freaking good, and i'm not sure they should be compared to eachother since they're going for different vibes

[tifosi77]

When we went to NOLA the first time, I did a quick Google for best fried chicken in the city. Looked at a list on NOLA.com, and Popeyes on Canal St was legitimately like #7 on the list. I lol'd.

I don't like that they stopped calling it 'dirty rice', though.

I've only eaten popeyes once and I got sick, but it makes me think about how great a movie Little Nicky is so I appreciate it.

Just caught up....

Not sure why I did

Same.

Not sure what the flip side is, but pretty sure Conan is just trying to make people laugh because that’s how he makes money.

Nope... TDS all the way.

[NailedPenguin]

Yes clearly the problem was me bringing up something that actually happened and trying to end the stupid discussion twice.

"Conan without borders: Greenland" (which follows Mexico and Haiti, also inspired by Trump's statements/actions).


Me: Can't believe people do this stuff just because Trump says something.
You guys: WTF are you talking about where are you getting this has anything to do with Trump!!

Ya got me. I'll take the L on this one I guess.

Of course. Just like with the pimento cheese cajun chicken biscuit they have at Bojangles I ate it because the constitution says so.

It was very good and 10/10 I'll eat it again.

If you don't want to keep talking about it, stop responding.

Conan makes a comedy travel show and visits different countries for each episode. He can go to Sweden or Germany or Greece or Sudan, etc. Trump suddenly makes Greenland into a hot topic so Conan decides to do an episode in Greenland because it's timely and people are now talking about Greenland. He'll catch up with other countries some other time, like he's already done with Israel, Japan, Italy, etc. in episodes that had nothing to do with Trump.

Your original post was:

All he has to do is look cross eyed at a place on the map and Conan hops on a plane to own(?) Trump. Yeah people's brains aren't broken or anything.

You're the one who accused Conan of having a broken brain simply because he's parlaying a hot topic into an episode for his show and you're the one who brought up TDS and all that nonsense.

So if we're talking about broken brains...

[count2infinity]

To be fair to NP, Tomas did bring up Trump first.

Say what you want about Trump, but he has already inspired 3 installments of the best travel show out there. TIL that there will soon be "Conan without borders: Greenland" (which follows Mexico and Haiti, also inspired by Trump's statements/actions).

And to Tony's point... he's done this before with other countries as well. The Germany visit was hilarious. They were not to pwn Trump, and neither were (likely) his visits to Mexico or Haiti. At moment, Greenland is topical because of Trump. He's not going to pwn Trump, he's going because it's topical.

I don't disagree that private party transfers should be subject to checks, but I think there needs to be a real temperature check as to implementation v impact. (That latter statement applies generally to most gun control measures that are frequently discussed.) What do you think is going to be the real impact on gun crime of implementing this change?

The chance that the back-alley gun "dealers" who currently traffic in stolen and straw-purchased would be deterred by a "universal background check" law is roughly equivalent to the chance that the Sun will explode tomorrow. Does anyone here really think that any of those gun-runners will suddenly say, "Well, shoot, I guess I can't sell back-alley stolen guns to gang members and drug dealers anymore thanks to that darn new law that says I need to run a background check"?

I type "Conan O' Brien in Haiti" into google and this is on the first page. I don't even have to click a link.

After Donald Trump referred to Haiti as a “sh*thole country,” Conan O'Brien took his TBS late-night show to the island nation to prove him otherwise..

Now from the Miami Herald

Conan went looking for a 's---hole' in Haiti. He found something else
BY JACQUELINE CHARLES
JANUARY 25, 2018 04:07 PM, UPDATED JANUARY 28, 2018 11:44 AM

Conan O’Brien went to Haiti to let Haitians fire back at President Donald Trump over reportedly describing the country as “a shithole.”
When news surfaced that President Donald Trump had reportedly described Haiti as a “shithole” country in a meeting on immigration with lawmakers this month, comedian Conan O’Brien knew he had to catch the next flight out.


Conan O'Brien (@ConanOBrien) January 18, 2018
Now back from his first trip to Haiti, where he tried to make Haitians laugh and gave them a chance to fire back at Trump, O’Brien has something to say to the president.

It's more likely that additional layers of gun control would boost demand in their services.
