Per comments from Holmes himself, the idea for the name had nothing to do with Tolkien’s works, nor the movie. It was instead to denote royalty and lordship. I have seen nothing in any of the reporting to indicate that this had to do with anything other than the name of the food truck. The truck wasn’t going to be themed after the books or films. There wasn’t going to be any trade dress or vehicle wraps harkening back to those works of fiction. There wasn’t to be a flavor of chicken called “One wing to rule them all.”

So trademark holders being douchebags as usual. The Lord of the Rings isn't associated with chicken wings in anyway so how could consumers be confused?

Aren't these the same guys who use to say "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear."?

We puff rice to get rice crispies and puffed oats will get you sugar crisps.

Well the dog farmers hang, burn, and beat the shit out of the dogs before they kill them because they believe the fear and adrenaline improves the taste and makes them more tender....so yes I'd say it's worse.

When someone is indoctrinated for generations it's hard to pull away. Hopefully she makes up for it but at least she now realizes that she was wrong.

It was not clear from the sources why the three writers are not returning.

Barrymore was criticized after she announced in September that she would resume “The Drew Barrymore Show,” a daytime talk show, even though the strike by the Writers Guild of America had not yet been resolved.

I wonder if these two things could be related? /s

When this song started I was so shocked. What an epic fight song for an epic fight that only took me 4 hours to beat. This game continues to amaze me.

This article is hilarious because like the author I didn't know what I was doing and chose bard as my first character (still don't know what I'm doing but I'm trying) and would do a lot of the same tricks he did. Pushing people off a ledge was my go to.

Argyle just kind of shuffled out of being chief engineer. I wonder if he didn't test well with audiences or something.

I don’t want to spam.

Star Trek memes aren't ever spam.

It's a sliding scale.

Lemmy's not so bad. You can make ~~sangria~~ memes in the terlet. Course, it's shank or be shanked.

very left leaning democrats

Where? The democrats would be center right in any other western country. So who are these very left leaning democrats you fear? Bernie is as left as they come in America and he’s barely left leaning.
