Back in Ohio this week and of all the wonderful food to be thankful for today, mashed potatoes and turkey are behind the return of Dan Dee’s Cheddar Cheese Flavored Corn Twistees. They ran regionally (Midwest) from 1928-2018 and I ate approximately 614 tons of the stuff as a kid. Not only did they return this year, but they appear to have a copy cat using even the same clip art. Although I like Pirate’s Booty, there really is nothing else like them. You can tell from these online reviews. "Dan Dee products have been part of my upbringing in Cleveland forever. They also taste superior. I am deeply disappointed to lose this cultural treasure. "The end of a Cleveland legend.” "These were the snack foods you found in ancient vending machines in decrepit auto shops when your car broke down in the middle of nowheresville. You ate maybe two before realizing you'd get more flavor from the dirt on the floor." Warning: Orange.

If you happen to be on a Mac, and just a friendly reminder for others, SoundSource has nice built in headphone EQs that help a ton.

Initial episodes of Fleishman Is in Trouble are fun, especially likely to divorcees and/or parents.

Getting close though. Twitter locks staff out of offices until next week https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63672307 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/nov/17/elon-musk-twitter-closes-offices-loyalty-oath-resignations

All leakage issues haven’t been solved, but fingers crossed.

Anyone checking out The English? Halfway through the limited series and entertaining so far.

This WTF podcast with him is a little wild. https://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/gallagher

I had to check it myself, though arguably when Gallagher (1) sued "Gallagher Too" (2), we were back to just one. Still it was cool to be so popular you could let your brother stand in and make a living for years. 1 ran for CA governor in the 2003 recall. https://www.cnn.com/videos/showbiz/2012/03/16/vo-gallagher-routine.cnn

Hope it a wonderful Marantz-filled day.

So for what it's worth stock seems to be coming back occasionally. Perhaps they're spreading it around. Still time if there are others interested. Buy now before we all lose our jobs in the recession. https://www.audeze.com/products/promo-2022

So the LCD3 Zebrawood showed back up tonight and I think I just bought a pair. Rob, you get the LCD5 and we'll compare and see if they're worth it, kay?

Creating GoFundMe now.

Anyone jumping on the Audeze sale? https://www.audeze.com/products/promo-2022?utm_source=B-Stock Sale EDIT: Well, I almost did. 20 minutes of trying to get into an existing account, that seemed not to exist until I created a new one with same email address, which then listed past orders so existing, ended up with a sold out LCD3 Zebrawood at payment stage. Damn. Oh well. $1K for photography gear I guess.

Definitely ways to make September feel like it's back to November.

Shantaram. Four episodes in and while it plays like the book is likely even better and can come across a little white savior-y, it's a pretty compelling story and well visualized. Highly recommended you check it out if you have AppleTV+. Alternatively the Hollywood Reporter calls it "sprawling, meandering and inconsistent." 😶
