Twitter in Focus: Kris Straub

by tonyd on May 17, 2017 at 12:38 am

Hey Bros!

Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die!  Today’s contestant is cartoonist, Kris Straub.  Let’s see what he’s tweeting.

@krisstraub

May 14th:  “from our family to yours… happy mother’s day ”

Tons of sausage?  Sounds like a party.

May 15th:  “i’m on the prowl for comic topics, please provide!!”

Anything but Trump.  So sick of doing Trump jokes.  He’s just all over the news.

May 15th:  “i’m so pleased twitch is doing a mister rogers marathon/fundraiser for PBS. starts at noon PT.”\

Will an Electric Company marathon follow?

May 15th:  “i think humor needs to be able to mock anything, but it’s also very subjective—for me the line is drawn at mister rogers. he’s unassailable.”

I agree.  So is Morgan Freeman as Easy Reader.

May 15th:  “mister rogers shaped much of my positivity and calm and patience. he made TV for the good of children, that never talked down to them”

I really wanted him to wake up though.  He sounded so sleepy.

May 15th:  “first appearance of on . an episode about war and borders?? perma-zeitgeist”

Back when TV could still be a little experimental.

May 15th:  “the coolest part about the mister rogers marathon are the interstitials with streamers doing their obnoxious streamer character”

Way more intense than the actual show itself.

Okay, let’s rate Kris’s tweets.  I give him a 7 for Mustness, a 7 for Insanity and a 9 for Style.  That’s an overall score of 7.6, but I round up to an 8 for a fellow webcomic creator.  Follow Kris and read Chainsaw Suit.

And if you have suggestion for Twitter in Focus, email me here.

Fat Guy Eats: Estia Taverna

by tonyd on May 15, 2017 at 12:01 am

Restaurant: Estia Taverna

Address:  140 W Route 70, Marlton, NJ 08053

Food:  Greek

Price:  High

Portions:  Variable

Taste:  Execellent

Service:  Solid

Atmosphere:  Fancy

So me and the family hit Estia for an early Mother’s Day dinner to beat the crowds.  My brother picked the place and I was a little wary.  His record for picking restaurants is mixed and I had heard a bad story about Estia when it was under different management.

Things started off with some great Greek appetizers.  The bread and humus was excellent.  Then there was a platter of pita bread with humus, red pepper humus and Tzatziki Sauce.  Finally, thinly sliced zucchini and eggplant, fried to chip-like crunchiness, served with dipping sauce.  All very tasty and the waiter was pretty good refilling my iced tea.

The entrees were a bit of a mixed bag.  Chilean sea bass came in a giant chunk, while my seared tuna was a much smaller portion.  Fortunately, I swapped out the side for the fried potatoes, which were really good.  Also, mine came with a feta cheese and spinach salad on the side.  It’s a good thing I filled up on bread though, I don’t think my dinner would’ve been enough on its own.  And I was a little surprised at the high prices (because it’s mostly seafood) and lack of classic Greek dishes.

Still, a pretty decent place, if not very exotic.  I give Estia Taverna 8 out of 10 keggers.
