As for shows to watch -- I feel like Justified doesn't get enough love.  That is a great show.
seconded.

And Terriers...although there's only 1 season there.

Anyone for Fargo?  I've only seen episodes here and there, but it looks good.  My roommate watches Justified, and it looks good but I have to go back and start from the beginning.

Also, The Leftovers---I'm liking it a lot so far.

Fargo is great. Allison Tollman is incredible.

The Leftovers... meh. I'm not liking it a whole lot, if the next episode isn't very good I'll probably drop it (and I hear it features more Christopher Eccleston, which, as a 9th Doctor fan, makes me very, very happy).

From the previews it will be a  lot of him.. The Leftovers is my kind of show, I guess.. mysterious, unexplained, and focusing on diving into characters and what and why they do things.  Sort of like Twin Peaks (best TV show ever!).  And I like the way it's telling the story.

I tend to like shows like The Leftovers as well, I just don't really like the writing so far, especially the whole hugging cult thing. Or everything with the dogs and the creepy dude from Fringe. Or the mayor. I'm very intrigued by the Guilty Remnant though, and I think the actress playing... whatever her name is, the main dude's wife is giving a great performance. The teenage girl storyline has had some cringe-worthy scenes (the iPhone game), but I like the dynamic between her and her friend.

I enjoy the series. I love how they are doing a different story each season. More shows should adopt this. *cough Heroes*

I disliked the end of the first season because I walked away with a sense that I didn't really want to watch the storyline continue after that point. Of course, at the time, I didn't know that the story was over. I may have to rewatch the finale with the knowledge that the story isn't continuing. I might appreciate it more.

I liked the second season, though the alien stuff didn't strike me as too horrific. The real horror was in the institution. I also felt the demonic possession detracted from the horror of the institution, though the abuse of power was certainly there.

I enjoyed the third season, though it was less horror. It was a more engaging story, and there really were so few likable characters. Even the ones you think are okay at first turn out to have some dark side where they get all stabby. I believe the only character who was truly pure was the head of the coven and the daughter of Jessica Lange. I seem to recall that everything she did was for the greater good, and she didn't let anger guide her hand (though she would have been justified in a few instances).

I'm looking forward to the fourth season. Carnivals and creepiness. Aw yeah.

If I had to take a guess, I would say this is a stunt to prove the dangers of Kickstarter and the gullibility (I doubt that's a word, but you see what I mean) of its fanatics, something that anyone who follows the board gaming industry would be familiar with...

Umm, why is there a picture of something strange when the kickstarter is for potato salad?

This is what "Kartoffelsalat" looks like:

If you read his FAQ he answers the question about what kind of potato salad he'll be making. He was unaware of the different types due to this being his first.

And his picture looks like most potato salads I've encountered in the culinary wonder that is rural Midwestern US.

EDIT: As in, I grew up in the same area he says he's from.

I don't know what the frac that Kickstarter is supposed to mean. But now I'm hungry.

pacovf has a neopets account.  It has 999 hours logged.  All his neopets are named "Jessica".  I guess that must be his ex.

I'm pretty sure it's just a parody of all of the truly terrible kickstarters out there. Or at least it started as one. I don't know what it is now. Other than incredible.

I've found the best thing on the internet: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/324283889/potato-salad?ref=discovery

$52,796 raised from 4,062 backers right now.

Whats the over/under on where this thing eventually ends?  $100k?  $150k?

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

I love the FAQ and matter-of-fact description.

Of course with math like this: "I know $40 isn't 4x $10" and comments like: "If we hit $3000, the whole internet is invited!" I am guessing he doesn't quite understand that his promises could scale quite badly.

EDIT: He's in Columbus, and that picture is definitely what most "regular" potato salad looks like in Ohio. Vinegar only (non-mayo) potato salads are usually qualified as German potato salad.

He's just a man who wanted to make some potato salad and found himself in way over his head.
