Ben & Jerry's Tier List

 Hello friends! I hope you liked last week's post about my opinions because today, I've got... another post of my opinions. This time, on ice cream. Ben & Jerry's is an iconic brand of decadent ice cream. I was bored on a recent afternoon, so I decided to place every flavor listed on the Ben & Jerry's website onto a tier list. For those unfamiliar with the Street Fighter  inspired tier list, it's mostly letter grade logic (A is the best, F is the worst), but with an additional category of S for Superior and SS for Super Superior (I don't know if that's what it actually stands for, but it is what it means). Now, some of these flavors I haven't had. I was not prepared to spend $50 or more and exhaustively search every store in the region to track down every single unsampled flavor, so I made an educated guess based on the description. This post is NOT sponsored by Ben & Jerry's. And before we get started, don't forget to subscribe for

Best of Media: January 2023 Edition

 Howdy folks, February isn't over yet, which means it's not to late to try out a new idea I just had: a little round-up of my favorite things I watched, read, or listened to last month! Who doesn't love a pop culture round-up? Especially if that round-up doesn't even feature stuff that's particularly recent or popular? How fun is that, right? I mean, do you really want to read another article about HBO's The Last of Us ? Without further ado, here's the best of the Lisa lifestyle this past month: Best (audio)Book of (my) January: I'm Glad My Mother Died  by Jennette McCurdy, narrated by the author Okay, I know I said the round-up wouldn't be things that are that popular, and child star Jennette McCurdy's memoir was pretty damn popular. But it came out last year, so I'm still late enough to the party to be a cool kid. Most people (including me) previously only knew McCurdy as Sam Puckett, the main character's best friend in Nickelodeon'

Lisa Doesn't Actually Know Basic Cultural Information: Part 3, Episode 6

 Put on your space seatbelts, folks, and prepare to be as disappointed in me as Alex, who I believe may have questioned our engagement after reading this one. She asked, pleaded me, in fact, to search my memory for something, anything more about the original finale to the crowning achievement of science fiction cinema, but this is it, baby. Star Wars Episode 6: The One Where Barely Anything Happens, Apparently. Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away... Luke realizes he must save Leia, and probably Han while he’s at it. He crashes Jabba’s house party, but then gets captured himself. Luckily, he is able to use all his Yoda-given training to win an arena-style fight that Jabba put him up to for the entertainment of his guests. Leia, who is dressed like the Star Wars centerfold edition, is rescued by Luke’s daring heroics, and they also get Han back somehow. With his found family back together, Luke realizes it’s time to face his final objective: fight Darth Vader and win the space war for

Lisa Doesn't Actually Know Basic Cultural Information: Part 2, Episode 5

Star Wars Episode V: The Rape-y One (real title: Return of the Jedi? The Empire Strikes Back? One or the other. Definitely not New Hope, I know for a FACT that’s the fourth one) The gang are fighting fascists in a wintry landscape on the planet Hoth. There are big tanks on comically long legs called ATATs. Luke is in a little fighter jet that conveniently has a cable rope ejector, so he is able to circle the ATATs with the cable, tripping them as it tightens around their knees. Later, after a flying motorbike race through the woods, Han and Luke discuss who has dibs on Leia at a party. Then Luke and R2D2 head off into a swamp for Luke’s pilgrimage to a Jedi master. They crash, and Luke is annoyed. R2D2 is mischievously undismayed. A little troll creature starts mocking them, and Luke is even more frustrated by his unpleasant predicament. Unfortunately for Luke and fortunately for decades of merchandising, this little creature- best described as a cross between a teenage mutant nin
