Beth: The Secret of Roan Inish, PHP

Pizza: Patrick's Handmade Pizza

Everything tonight is being brought to you by Ancient Age bourbon, the runaway winner in multiple Long households for the category of "Best Bourbon Sold In A Giant Plastic Jug". Mmmm. Tonight, we mixed it with Dailey's sour mix and some soda water for a classic whiskey sour. The pizzas were good, but Beth felt that my attempt to switch up the apple pizza from bleu cheese to cheddar lacked whatever it was she was looking for in the pizza when she requested it. I don't think that substitution earned a repeat appearance. Smoked sausage is always awesome with onion and pepper and  the cheese pizza got a little pinch of the cheddar just because that's what the whiskey wanted. Sometimes, I roll the dough so thin that I have a usable 4th piece, so I rolled it as far as I could and made Trevor's pizza from that. He enjoys getting a special pizza, and I'm only too happy to not infest the good pizzas with those filthy black rings. Gross. We had one jar of Carfagna's pizza sauce and one jar of Classico, so of course I used the Classico for the kids' pizzas and saved the good stuff for ours. Parenting!







Movie: The Secret of Roan Inish

My mother lent this movie to Beth and I because the three of us are going to Ireland in September (whoop whoop!) so we're naturally drawn to these kinds of things. The movie started out "Super boring, and hard to understand. Can I go play Minecraft?" and ended up with "That movie was actually OK". I concur, little man. I concur. I wouldn't really recommend this movie, because it isn't for everyone. The acting is, uh, sub-optimal. The settings and locations, though...

Naturally there weren't many available pre-made sounds in the Dubsmash banks for this movie, so we had to create one. Since Beth was the one who picked the movie, by law she had to do the smash.

Patrick: The Avengers/Portal, Ange's

Pizza: Ange's

We love Ange's pizza. In addition to being the closest pizza place to our house since Napoli's closed like 8 years ago (R.I.P. Home of the Pizza Foldover!), it's seriously delicious. You can't go wrong there. X-Large Sausage and personal black olive.






Movie: The Avengers

I'm just going to come out and say it, but this movie was a just a placeholder because Lauren and I were playing the original Portal video game, and you can't eat and play at the same time,  and it was Pizza and a Movie Night, so we felt we had to kind of go for it. But we only watched about an hour of it, then got back to the game. Movie review: We've seen it 5x already, it's great, blah blah blah.

Tony's epic comeback:


Tony's witty retort:



Game: Portal

Oh, heck yes. One of the greatest video games of all time, and I was sharing it with Lauren because Beth was out on a ladydate. Trevor didn't like the game so much, so he was mostly watching inane Youtube videos done by idiots with British accents who play Minecraft and then record it. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. Oh yes, PORTAL. Words aren't enough. It's something that you have to experience to understand it's greatness. It's like the Arrested Development meets Prison Break of the VG world. So great.

Pizza: Patrick's Handmade Pizza

Mmm... Sausage, onion, and orange pepper, Hawaiian deluxe with bacon and pineapple rings, and Trevor's standard olive/cheese. Baked perfect, tasted great, complete victory.






Movie: Mr Peabody and Sherman

This movie is a weird one-off from a Rocky and Bullwinkle side gag, some forty years after it's inception. Seems a strange time to revisit, but, the whole plot of the movie involves time travel, so I guess we'll accept that. The characters are just so endearing, it works on all levels. Well done, thumbs up, etc etc etc.
