Twitter in Focus: Kevin Pollak

by tonyd on February 21, 2018 at 12:01 am

Hey Bros!

Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die!  Today’s contestant is comedian, Kevin Pollak!  Let’s see what he’s tweeting!

@kevinpollak

February 10th:  “Yeah!!! RT : Seven years ago I heard say this on his podcast and it changed my life.”

Too true.

February 13th:  “Listens? HOOKED! RT : !! listens to your show! I love when podcast worlds collide.”

So many podcasts.  So little time.

February 14th:  “Love you BOTH. RT : Happy Valentines Day to my man !”

That’s a nice post for V-day.

February 14th:  “Best. Valentine. Present. EVER. GENIUS maiseltv fan art from sthompsonart, commissioned by MY… ”

Not sure what it means, but it is a nice piece of art.

February 15th:  “Hey, and fans! I’ve just dropped a new Kev’s Fav, featuring the longest on-camera interview the great one has ever given… ‘ Watch/Listen: Plz RT”

Wow, you got everybody.

February 18th:  “Damn hell thrilled for this. CONGRATS Joel. RT : The wait is over. The show is NOW Streaming, only on Netflix.”

Man, Netflix has a show for everyone.

February 18th:  “What the… RT : your mug on a mug! . Looking forward to meeting you at the Oscar gift suite!”

I think it would be weird drinking from your face.  Kinda like kissing yourself.  Almost.

February 19th:  “Shame you’re not in Burlington, ON… RT : Watching in locally shot film, Borealis. Wanted to play poker…”

No idea.  But it’s nice he’s getting film work.

February 19th:  “Shortberg!! Here for the comedy festival. RT : You’re in Burlington? They make films there now?”

Films, comedy, podcasts—  He keeps busy.

Let’s rate Kevin’s tweets.  I give him an 8 for Mustness, an 8 for Insanity and a 9 for Style.  That’s an overall score of 8.3.  Follow Kevin.  If for no other reason than for his Captain Kirk impersonation.

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

Fat Guy Eats: The Voorhees Diner

by tonyd on February 19, 2018 at 12:21 am

Restaurant:  The Voorhees Diner

Address: 320 NJ-73, Voorhees Township, NJ 08043

Food:  diner food

Price:  Average

Portions:  Good

Taste:  Good

Service:  Good

Atmosphere:  diner

 

I’ve gone to the Voorhees Diner on Route 73 a few times, mostly because it is conveniently located.  A buddy of mine lives in Marlton and the Marlton Diner is mostly hit or miss.  (Actually, mostly miss these days.)  Redstone is cool, but too expensive.  I had had a bad experience at the Voorhees Diner once.  I hear it’s run by the same people that do the South Street Diner, which I like.  I went back and it’s okay.  The fries are the kind I don’t like, however, with the batter or crusty stuff or whatever you want to call it.

This time, I opted for a salad.  The selection is pretty decent, but no giant taco shell/Mexican salad, which is what I kinda wanted.  The Caesar salad with chicken was decent.  Nothing spectacular.  If you stick to the basics, especially the breakfast food, you can’t go wrong here.  If you got too far out on a limb with the exotic or complicated stuff, you’re asking for trouble.  The pastries also look really good, but I have yet to try any.

The service is always decent.  The staff is friendly and the place is clean.  They don’t mind me and my friend discussing politics for a few hours, even though we don’t order too much.  Thanks Voorhees Diner!

I give the Voorhees Diner 6.5 out of 10 keggers.

Aries:  The ghost of Rick James will ask you to play those episodes of the Chappelle Show in your DVR.

Taurus:  You’ll become the first person ever to break up on a speed date.

Gemini:  Your masseuse accidentally gives you a depressing ending.

Lemini:  The doctor tells you that your weekly bypass surgery may be an indication that you’re not very healthy.

Cancer:  YouTube tells you that if your videos don’t start getting better, they’re going to give you negative hits and force you to watch other videos.

Leo:  Guy Fieri comes to your kitchen because your food is greasy enough to be in an episode of Diners, Dives and Drive-Thrus.

Virgo:  The squirrels in your yard leave you an intimidating note about getting gluten free snacks in the bird feeder.

Scorpio:  Your Scrabble game ends up like it always does, with you giving all the other players a handjob.

Sagittarius:  You may have to clean your fridge, since all the flies buzzing around it are finally dead.

Capricorn:  Your old guidance counselor confronts you in the supermarket and demands to know why you’re not an astronaut.

Aquarius:  Your old kung-fu master will return to teach you his final move, how to ask a waitress out without looking like a creep.

Pisces:  You’ll feast upon your enemies entrails, which is good, because most of your enemies are Peeps.
