That has nothing to do with tonight's question, but I'm watching the Rangers game and damn, he looks solid. Anyway, what is the most overrated cuisine in the world? Not a meal or anything like that, but an actual type of food (for example you could say "Italian food is the most overrated food in the world because..." but I wouldn't recommend that as an answer, because I will come to your home and cause you severe bodily harm, maybe even kick your dog on my way out).
Yesterday's: I gotta give it to Nicky, I happen to believe that Bert and Ernie were the Jay and Silent Bob (or the Timmy and Joe) of Sesame Street. Honorable mention to the radiant Becca Chao for actually having said that to Joe and Timmy one drunken night.
Nick:
They are the Joseph Rouse and Timothy Knauf of Sesame Street.
Hetero-lifemates.
Becca:
Nick stole my answer. In fact, I clearly remember asking Joe where is rubber ducky went and why Timmy didn't have a unibrow anymore during one drunken night at 728.

Happy National Coming-Out Day
In honor of National Coming-Out Day (I don't know if that's supposed to be hyphenated or not, I didn't even know it existed until I saw it on AIM today) I have the following question to ask:
Were Bert and Ernie gay? Or just really good friends?
Yesterday's: I'm going to go with JMC on this one, and here's my rationale: I don't know if Fredo is so much bitter or just a passive agressive little bitch, Gollum was pretty bitter, and i like that choice too, so I'll give Becca an honorable mention, Navin I don't think was all that bitter either, just a jerk, like you said Martina. But Jack Nicholson doesn't get nearly enough love on this sight, and I can't think of anyone more perfect for the answer to this question. So there ya go.
JMC:
Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson) in "As Good as It Gets"
Unfortunately, if you've seen the movie, he reforms... but he was great while it lasted.
From IMDB.com:
Carol: You're going to die soon with that diet. You know that, right?
Melvin: Oh, we're all going to die soon. I will, you will, and it sure sounds like your son will.

Fuck you Nick
It must be nice to be a fan of the only team in the AFC east who wouldn't lose to The University of Southern Florida right now. Hell, most of the AFC east would probably lose to App. State, which means that if nothing else they could at least give Michigan a run for their money. I hate you and your pretty boy quarterback who throws the ball more than ten yards accurately and your receivers who catch the ball, and your offense that scores points. I'm bitter and jealous.
In honor of my whelming bitterness (it's not overwhelming, but it's close) who is the all-time best bitter movie character? For the sake of fairness, I'm going to take Rob Gordon off the ballot, because otherwise whoever posts first would be the winner.
Yesterday's: Phoebe should post more often, because her posts are always great. But then, maybe she just doesn't post when she knows her answer won't be great.
In no particular order:
Joe Schmoe -- most talked about guy when you don't really know who you're talking about.
Joe Camel -- that crazy cigarette smoking (and then cancer-getting) camel who tried to convince kids everywhere we could be as cool as him by smoking. because all kids idolize camels...
Joe Conrad -- Russian born guy who didn't even learn English until his 20s and still managed to write "Heart of Darkness," one of my favorite books, which then became the movie Apocalypse Now, which, among other notable achievements, wins the award for best use of Vagner.
Joe of Bethlehem (husband of Mary) -- successfully duped all of humanity into thinking they didn't have sex before marriage, making people think Jesus was a product of immaculate conception and, thus, the son not of Joe but of God. This led to the creation of Christianity, which, in the long run, completely altered Western history and, more immediately, really, really pissed off the Jews.
Joe Rouse -- One half of college's best party-throwing duo. And he doesn't look half bad in a dress. (...He looks all the way bad.)

Throw Joe under the Bus
Hooray! The Wicked Witch is dead and now it remains to be seen whether or not George Steinbrenner will stick to his word and fire Joe Torre. In honor of Joe, who are the all-time top 5 famous Joes in history?
Yesterday's: I've decided that I hate the prospect of this movie so much that I'm not going to choose a winner. Matty, Vern Troyer would be an awesome Elroy, and O-Train, it's a bold decision to have an interracial Jetsons, and I respect your boldness, although I don't know how much I agree with the call on that one. Anyway, I hate you both for answering this question, and I hate myself for asking it. And I hate MNF for taking so long, because I want to put on the post-game press conferences and see if Joe gets his pink slip delivered to him at the microphone, or if George is at least going to be courteous enough to wait until tomorrow. But mostly I just hate live-action remakes of great cartoons. Wow, Buffalo is like Jets bad. The AFC East Sucks.

Cartoons on the brain
Even though I'm morally opposed to live-action remakes of classic cartoons (as well as live-action versions of Dr. Seuss books, although that has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on this question), I have to ask this one because I think it's a good question and because, quite frankly, I don't have another question to ask for tonight.
Who would you cast as the main characters for a live action Jetsons movie?
Things to consider: This movie is likely to suck, so keep that in mind when choosing your cast because you'll either have to make up for the awfulness of the movie with big names and pretty faces, or embrace the awfulness and cast terrible actors and actresses accordingly; Haley Joel Osment is too old to play Elroy; there will need to be a voice over for Astro; there is the slim possibility of a Judy Jetson nude scene if it will help boost ticket sales.
Yesterday's: Matty, because he's right, Madden does seem like the tender type.
This is an easy one. I hate Joe Buck. He deserves to die for being a terrible broadcaster, liking the Yankees, AND tarnishing his father's good name. Now this is where it gets tricky. I feel like Barry and I would have a lot to talk about since we both love hockey, but I don't think he'd treat me as good as Madden would. Barry would probably go out and cheat on you. You can't trust a guy with a mullet, but you can pretend their a woman, so I'd fuck Melrose. That leaves me with John Madden to come home to every night. He would make me turduckin for Christmas and drive me to work in his bus. Plus, he's way famous and you'd get the new Madden game free every year. Sure he's annoying, but you could just nod your head and say "OK, John" and go back to whatever you were doing.

They Sell Roofies at CVS?
I wish you would have told me this before Matty. It would have saved me a lot of time and effort. I'm not going to argue with you about whether or not they stock it at CVS, because, let's face it, if anyone would know, it would probably be you.
Anyway, Matty's weekend plans aside, on to today's question.
It's a "Kill, Fuck, Marry" question and here are your choices: John Madden (the football commentator, not the hockey player), MLB on Fox's Joe Buck, and the NHL's own mullet-sporting Barry Melrose. Have fun.
Yesterday's: All I can say is, you guys are all filthy, disgusting human beings, and I love every one of you for it. I've gotta give this one to Becca though, on the strength of the ace bandages, especially because I can think of something to do with 5 of them, but I just can't imagine what Becca has in mind for the sixth. A nod to Martina to for the banana.
Becca:
Cheez-Wiz (CVS carries it, I guarantee), a teeny bopper fan magazine, six Ace bandages, laxatives, batteries, and a disposable camera.

Price Check on...uh...hmm
Alrite, so I'm standing in line at the Drug Store today and the guy in front of me--probably 19 or 20 years old--is trying very awkwardly and unsuccessfully to hide a box of condoms in between a pack of gum and a pack of pens. He's fidgeting with them and trying to make sure that no one else standing around can see them, like he doesn't realize that the checkout girl is still going to see them when she has to scan them, like he really believes that she won't even realize what she's scanning if they're sandwiched between gum and Bic pens. But it got me thinking:
What is the most awkward/creepy combination of products that a person could buy along with condoms at an average drug store?
Last two days:
Sequel:
As bad as Caddyshack 2 was, I don't think it sullied the Caddyshack name nearly as much as Batman and Robin did, so I give this one to Nick. By the way the movie that inspired this question was The Next Karate Kid starring future Academy Award winner Hilary Swank.
Remake:
This one goes to Becca, Bad News Bears the remake was appallingly bad. Bad News Bears would make my top five at number five though, behind 4. The live action 101 Dalmations with Glen Close 3. Planet of the Apes 2. The Pink Panther (Why Steve Martin, WHY?) 1. Psycho (I still can't believe the amazing names that are associated with this piece of shit film: Gus Van Sant, Vince Vaughn, Julianne Moore, William H. Macy, Viggo Mortensen)
Nick:
I'm gonna go with Batman and Robin. The first one with Keaton was awesome, the second was decent and the third (with Kilmer) was meh.
The fourth one was without a doubt the worst movie I've ever seen. Awful fucking writing, neutering George Clooney (who, in a decent movie, would make a fucking awesome Batman). Awful performance by Uma Thurman. Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze was one awful pun after another. Alicia Silverstone was terrible and useless as Batgirl. I can't stress enough how much I hated the dialogue too. It was beyond terrible.
But the worst part of the movie was the insanely awful, stupid, whiney cunty performance by Chris O'Donnell. He was the most annoying character I've ever seen in any movie. Just a total bitch cunt. I wanted to find him and hunt him down after I saw this, especially because he was the main draw for the girls I went to see this with. The fact that he's a BC guy is entirely unsurprising to me. He probably should've been barred from ever acting again after this movie.
Fuck Batman and Robin.
(Also, Godfather III should be immediately disqualified, because although not nearly measuring up to the standards of the two greatest films ever released, it wasn't a horrible movie if it stands alone. I know it's not worthy of the Godfather name, but Pacino was still damn good, and even Andy Garcia was decent. Plus, Calo killing the boss with his glasses was badass enough for that movie to get some credit.)
Becca:
Bad News Bears. I loved the original with Walter Matthau, but Billy Bob Thornton scares the everliving crap out of me.

Along the same lines as last night
What is the all-time worst remake in movie history?
I was thinking about asking this one as a top five, but I decided against it because it's kind of a pain in the ass. Also, I'm going to leave last night's question open for another night just so that we can determine worst sequel and worst remake on the same post.

Because sometimes you just need to know when to stop.
I was at a loss for a question for today until I was flipping through the channels and came across a certain horrifically bad sequel and it inspired me--who would have ever guessed that a terrible sequel could inspire anyone, but it did, i swear. What sequel sullied the reputation of an otherwise perfectly good movie series beyond repair? In other words, what is the worst ever installment to a set of movies ever to appear on the big screen? A movie so bad that you refuse to acknowledge that it was ever made because, well because the other movies were so good that you just can't bear to acknowledge it? No straight to DVD sequels is the only regulation.
Yesterday's: I've decided to just go ahead and choose my top 5 out of yours instead of choosing just one winner.
Matty:
Left Tackle: Rosie O'Donnell. Fat, butch lesbian who hates men? I think she'll do just fine protecting Donovan's back (as long as he doesn't make fun of her haircut, right Mr. Trump?)
Nick:
Left Guard - Nick Cardamone - I have very quick feet and balance, and sometimes surprising strength for a midget. Plus, then I could stay fat and not feel guilty about it. As far as my fame..just give it a few years bitches. (<----lies)
Martina:
Center: James Gandolfini (or the guy who plays who Big Pussy Bonpensiero). I mean...it's the Sopranos. don't mess.
Martina (even though she had him at tackle, I moved him over one because I just couldn't leave this one out):
Right guard: Meatloaf. When he was in "Fight Club" with the man boobs. "this is bob. bob had bitch tits."
Nick:
right tackle - Kirstie Alley - I'd put one of those pie on a stick things hanging from her helmet in front of her facemask and then tell her go go get it, then just send a running back following her.

Swiss Cheese
Not my favorite by a long shot, but the most appropriate way to transition from the last question about cheese to tonight's question about the Eagle's Offensive Line.
For anybody watching Sunday night football, it is painfully obvious that the Eagle's offensive line died in a fiery tragic plane crash and has been replaced by the cheerleading squad for the local pop-warner team. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a new, celebrity O-Line for the Philadelphia Eagles. Celebrities must be alive presently (Which unfortunately means that Elvis in his final, fat years is not an option, nor is the Buddha) and for those of you who don't know Football that well, they should be fat, that's kind of the idea of an O-Line.
Yesterday's: I'm going to give the co-champs to Nick and O-Train. I can eat Ricotta straight out of the container by the spoonful, and provo is wildly underrated.
O-Train
I'm voting for provolone because it hasn't been mentioned yet, and it's underrated as a cheese. It can be mild or incredibly strong, and is fantastic on veal, chicken or eggplant parm.
Also, it was immortalized in an episode of The Sopranos where Silvio Danta (Steve Van Zandt) is losing at poker, and one of the underlings is trying to sweep a piece of cheese away from his feet in the middle of the game. He says, "Leave the fucking cheese there, all right? I love fuckin' cheese at my feet! I stick motherfuckin' provolone in my socks at night, so they smell like your sister's crotch in the morning. Alright? Now leave the fucking cocksucking cheese where it is! Here, here, here. (Throws cheese from his plate onto the floor) Go ahead! Have a good time!"
Nick:
It's gotta be ricotta, because it's used in cannolis AND can be used for lasagna and stuffed shells and stuff like that.
Game over, it's a cheese that can be used in Italian desserts and meals. It literally may be the most perfect thing ever to appear on this planet.

a food question
What is the best kind of cheese?
Cheeses to consider: Cheddar, Jack, Pepper Jack, Pecorino Romano, provalone, mozzarella, edam, brie, ricotta, american, parmesan, limberger, swiss.
Yesterday's: I'm going to declare matty and nick co-winners for taking different views on this question, but i agree first and foremost with nick that politics are generally pretty worthless, hooray anarchy. Becca gets an honorable mention for just wanting to make sure that nick wasn't the only one to answer. No offense, but Kerry was a worthless candidate and, as a republican, I wish like hell the democrats would put up a worthwhile candidate because it would mean that we might have to as well. Show me McCain.
Nick:
It's funny...I'm liberal, but I kind of hate the Democratic Party. It continually churns out these shitty Presidential candidates (Gore - I wrote in McCain, Kerry - I voted for Kerry, and then sighed because I didn't think he was all that great) and doesn't even manage to fight all that well. Basically, the party as a whole is a bunch of pussies. Too bad 98% of the Republican Party is pure evil, and god knows we don't want that. I mean...this is a party that supports, wholeheartedly, the idea that George Bush was a better leader than John McCain. It's truly incredible.
As for the biggest political blunder, I'm gonna go back to Nixon sending guys into the Watergate Hotel. He was gonna win, there was no doubt, and yet he couldn't help himself because he was just a devious control freak. Asshole killed his own career without it being necessary.
(Also, I chose this over any wars, because I think wars are blunders that transcend politics...many of them are blunders of humanity, on both sides...also, Matty took Vietnam).
Politics, and politicians suck. All of em. They're blood suckers more concerned with the next election than doing anything right. Anarchy in the US.
Matty:
Vietnam. Iraq is divisive and bad, but the national and international turmoil that Vietnam caused will be hard to replicate. Becoming involved in the first place was a bad idea, but as soon as we invaded Cambodia it was all downhill from there. There was no reason for us to be there in the first place and caused irreparable damage to our international reputation. The blow to the national pysche was bad enough, but the after effects have been worse than Eric Lindros's post concussion syndrome.

nobody else ever had breakfast for dinner?
Well fuck you guys then. I'm gonna have Nick over for Freedom Toast (because DQD is a patriotic web site) and none of you are invited.
Speaking of being patriotic, what is the biggest political blunder in US History?
Yesterday's: Nick is the self proclaimed Bill Belichick of DQD. I'd accuse him of stealing signals from other people to get an edge, but who would he be stealing them from?
Nick:
French Toast. Basically because that's what my dad would make whenever my mom wasn't home to make dinner for the night when I was growing up. The man makes a solid french toast.
I subscribe to Mitch Hedberg's description of pancakes, "At first you're all excited, but by the end, you're fuckin sick of em.", and eggs never did the trick for me.
Cereal works too, but that loses it's novelty when you're 26 and eating cereal because you're too poor to go grocery shopping and you can't cook shit beyond Annie's mac and cheese anyway.

I subscribe to Mitch Hedberg's description of pancakes, "At first you're all excited, but by the end, you're fuckin sick of em.", and eggs never did the trick for me.
Cereal works too, but that loses it's novelty when you're 26 and eating cereal because you're too poor to go grocery shopping and you can't cook shit beyond Annie's mac and cheese anyway.

It says here breakfast anytime
I'll have the pancakes in the age of enlightenment. We've all done it, in fact, i'm doing it right now: What is the best breakfast food to eat for dinner?
Yesterday's: Based on strength of answer alone, I've gotta give it to Monty. Honorable mention to Cardamone because: 1. Nicole did fuck us over that game and 2. He got in a cheap shot on Matty before the buzzer. Matty is DQed because there is no board, and Nicole is DQed even though she didn't answer because she fucked Nick and I over the last time we played Trivial Pursuit.
Monty:
Clearly the classic game of medieval warfare: Chess.
Systematically and strategically marching your force from one end of the battlefield to the other... Meeting your opponent head on, always looking for his weak point while fending off his attacks, waiting for that one vital mistake that leads to victory. Sweet, sweet victory. And always so pure.
Chess doesn't require the luck of the dice or a drawn card. It takes superior intelligence to plot your attack while still defending your territory. When was the last time you had to worry about the Cannon busting up your hotels and using the Racecar for a getaway?

Kyle has AIDS and now loses 47 turns and 800 points
What is the all time best board game ever?
Things to consider: This is not a "loosely defined" type of question. If there is no board, it is not a board game.
Yesterday's: 3rd Place Nicole 2nd place Becca 1st place Nick if for no other reason than that I want everyone else to have the same awful mental picture that I have of Cardamone in boxers that have nothing but a thread holding together the undercarriage.
Nick
If it's a shirt you wear with a full t-shirt underneath, it takes 3-4 weeks for it to be considered dirty.
But a t-shirt worn with only skin or a wife-beater underneath can only be worn once or twice before it's considered dirty.
Underwear is a one time thing, unless you're really desperate, in which case it can be turned inside out and reused. Also, in order to delay laundry, going to the store and buying more boxers is definitely a valid alternative.
Socks worn for more than 25 minutes cannot be reused.
Also, old underwear in the bottom of the drawer which is clean, but may have holes that stretch across the entire undercarriage are completely acceptable on laundry day.
Also, it's very much acceptable on a football day to not shower if you've committed to watching at least 8 hours of football, and in that case, that's two day clothing...all of it.

a triumphant return
O-Train is Back!!!
Does laundry have various degrees of clean and dirty (a la Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters II) or is there a clean/dirty dichotomy?
Yesterday's:
O-Train:
Dagos call KY "olive oil."
Oh, and another thing:
Why did God invent gold chains?
So the Italians know where to stop shaving.
