Last Call: Tony Hawk can’t get any respect at the drive-thru
　　For a summer or two in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Tony Hawk was probably the biggest name in the Bernot household. My brother and I relentlessly played Pro Skater in our basement, until my dreams were all laced with its Sublime-heavy soundtrack. We knew the complicated names for...

Last Call: In praise of Trigger Happy TV, the “godfather” of hidden camera prank shows
　　Trigger Happy TV 　　Many Takeout readers will remember not only a time pre-YouTube, but pre-TiVo, when the only way to revisit our favorite TV shows was manually press record on a VCR. And then there was Trigger Happy TV, which was perhaps my favorite show from the early 2000s (other...

Last Call: A mathematical law explains why I like mini candies
　　As previously stated, I prefer miniature Reese’s to the full-sized cups. In fact, I prefer most miniature candy bars to their standard equivalents. I justify this preference texturally: There seem to be more crunchy edges to mini candies. 　　Today I learned that no less than legendary astronomer Galileo Galilei has...

Last Call: Chase Bank faceplants with #MondayMotivation tweet
　　Like a lot of people, I bank with Chase, so I’m sure I’m not the only person who had a mini-heart attack when I saw that “Chase Bank” was trending on Twitter. But so was #MondayMotivation, and it turns out those two items were related. 　　In a now-deleted tweet, Chase...

Last Call: Holy moly this kid is fast
　　Last week, high-school senior Matthew Boling of Jesuit College Prep in Houston ran the 100-meter dash in less than 10 seconds—9.98 seconds, to be precise. 　　At 18 years old, he’s already drawing comparisons to Usain Bolt. The small asterisk is that his run was “wind-aided,” meaning he had a slight...

There’s a more accurate description in the bio: Buffalo Pizza Review. So far SS has more than 300 detailed posts describing pizzas...

Last Call: Enjoy this Georgian knockoff of The Simpsons
　　Georgia’s version of The Simpsons 　　When The Simpsons first appeared on the The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987, its lo-fi animation meshed well with the characters’ schlubby charms. We don’t need to tell you the series would become the longest-running scripted TV show in history, and forever etched into the...

Last Call: A wonderfully weird Japanese game show about useless trivia
　　The early 2000s were a great time for English-dubbed Japanese game shows. Iron Chef had already achieved cult status on Food Network, Most Extreme Elimination Challenge was the cult obstacle-course game show on Spike TV that would spawn an American version called Wipeout. 　　Last Call: Binge on the original Japanese...

Last Call: Brad Pitt’s brother Doug stars in Se7en parody for Missouri brewery
　　The first person to send me the link to this video over the weekend wasn’t even a beer person, but since then, the video has popped up a few times in my beer-centric social-media feeds. It features Doug Pitt—you know, Brad’s brother—spoofing the 1995 film Se7en, but with beer. It’s...

Last Call: Mmmm, sandwich sudoku
　　It’s always nice when one of my food-related Google Alerts (currently: pizza, hot dog, Taylor ham, etc.) yields something unexpectedly fun. Usually, that Google Alert is for sandwich, because the town named Sandwich means I see headlines like Sandwich airport up for sale. Anyway. 　　The sandwich Google Alert came through...

Last Call: In woman vs. octopus, octopus goes down swinging
　　I’m just going to say it: We Asians have a fetish with eating things that are very fresh, I’m talking on wrong-side-of-death-fresh. Have you seen these videos of people eating squid sashimi with tentacles still moving? Ones where the suction cups hang on to dear life against the lips of...

Last Call: Canadian bar outpolites itself with parking “ticket”
　　A Reddit poster offered up this gem in the r/MildlyInteresting subreddit. It’s a photo of a “ticket” they received on their car’s windshield after parking overnight in the lot of an Ontario bar called The Wismer House. Though instead of demanding a payment, the “ticket” is actually a $10 drink...
