Question of the Day: What’s Your Favorite Miniseries?

Welcome to the Crasstalk Question of the Day. Each morning we ask you a different question and you the Crass Nation provide an answer. Particularly good answers may even be featured in future QOTDs.

Since I’ve heard a bunch of people talking about HBO’s “Mildred Pierce” miniseries, let’s find out what you like.

What’s your favorite miniseries of all time?

Miniserieses are bananas. Their just long enough to really dig deep into a subject and develop all the characters and all that shit… and they’re just short enough that they don’t clog up your Netflix queue for six months.

My personal favorite is “Roots.” I love epic American stories that take place over multiple generations. And Ben Vereen as Chicken George is just fucking amazing.

So what’s your favorite?

Question of the Day: What’s Your Favorite Pork Product?

Welcome to the Crasstalk Question of the Day. We’re going to do a daily post where we ask you a different question each day and you the Crass Nation provide an answer. Particularly good answers may even be featured in future QOTDs.

So it’s Monday Morning and you’re probably sitting in your cubicle dreaming of a hot plate teeming with scrum-diddly-umcious breakfast foods like bacon and Canadian bacon and sausage (and Canadian sausage?).

What’s your favorite pork product?

There are so many great ones to choose from, because even though pigs are widely considered among the most intelligent of domesticated animals, they are not smart enough to not make themselves so delicious. For this one I want to immediately go with bacon. Everyone loves wrapping things/themselves in bacon and going to town on the wonderful strips of salty pig-grease. Another wonderful choice is Chinese-style pork buns (pictured at top from Momofuku).

But personally after about three strips of bacon I can take no more. That’s where my choice, prosciutto, comes in.

First of all, I can probably eat a full three pounds of prosciutto in one sitting. It’s so THIN. Plus when you eat prosciutto, you can practically envision a mustache-and-overalls-wearing Italian named Luigi cutting  the pig up and serving it. It’s PURE PORKTASTIC DELICIOUSNESS, people.

QOTD: Your Superpower

This is not a blog. 

No. This is the Hall of Justice, my friends.   

Many of you do not know this, but I spend the hours I am not chained to a microphone as a mild-mannered reporter in the pursuit of  justice.  Specifically, I am the Traffic Avenger.   I seek to bring a kind of cool equilibrium to the travels of the American Public.   I snap the necks of those who do not use turn signals and those who use high beams on crowded roads and those who tailgate.   If it’s your first offense, I may merely smash your windshield and flip your car over.  Continue reading →
