The overlapping comeback episodes of Arrested Development didn't live up to the comeback hopes of some of the show's rabid fans. So the rabid fans at Reddit are trying to fix things. If you didn't spend your entire Memorial Day weekend obsessing over Arrested Development, here's a refresher: Netflix's fourth season of the show features 15 episodes, each focusing on one character but with intersecting story lines across all eight hours. Our Richard Lawson wrote: "Essentially they've taken a typical Arrested episode, blown it up, and dissected it into fifteen parts. Thus all the swiftness and brisk efficiency has been sapped, each overly long episode struggling to get through a lot of plot in order to justify its existence as a standalone entity."
Reddit users have since taken it upon themselves to re-edit the series so the re-imagining resembles more typical Arrested episodes, by telling the story of the Bluth family's return, chronologically. One user, "morphinapg," has already posted his entire version of the series. Even from watching one episode, you can see how drastically it differs.
Eureka Burger to Open in University Village
And then there’s the booze. Suzuki is really proud of the relationships these restaurants have with smaller breweries (and distilleries) in California and sounds excited to do the same up here. And, people—Eureka will have 40 taps. A third of them will be rotating Washington brews; the others will include some locals and some favorites from California, but all smaller-scale American beers. Each restaurant builds its list individually, so beers vary widely by location.
A 21-bottle whiskey list pays tribute to the 21st Amendment and includes brown liquors from California, Oregon, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Utah. Ask about the unprinted “antique collection” list each location keeps behind the bar. The words “Pappy Van Winkle” were definitely uttered during my conversation with Suzuki.
Flopping in the NBA - A History of (Non)Violence
It’s a tale that has grown in the telling. It was February 1976, and the Boston Celtics were hosting the Houston Rockets at the grand old Boston Garden. At some point during the game, Houston guard Mike Newlin slid into the path of Dave Cowens as the Celtics legend was driving strong toward the hoop. Cowens brushed by Newlin, who then acted as if he’d been blasted by a shotgun, flying backward and drawing the charge. Cowens pleaded his case to the referee, but, then as today, the ref wasn't having it.
When Cowens finally turned from the ref, what did he see? The cowardly figure of one Mike Newlin, dribbling down the court while presumably holding an Oscar statue in his other hand. So Cowens did what real, honest-to-goodness M-E-N did back in the bloody days of yore. He Jadeveon Clowney–ed the villain, turned to the referee, and bellowed, “NOW THAT’S A FUCKING FOUL!” Flagrant foul, Cowens ejected; a blow for justice that would echo throughout time had been struck. Celtics coach Tommy Heinsohn argued against Cowens’s ejection so strenuously that he was then ejected. Green-blooded talismanic architect Red Auerbach, waiting in the locker room, greeted Cowens with a hearty “It’s about time!” One imagines rose petals falling like confetti and knights on steeds blowing triumphal horns.
