Call me Meatloaf, cos' 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Hence the Egg of Coot, I guess.

I stand corrected. Honestly, I should have remembered kappa maki at the very least. Are we happy with the definition that cannoli cannot be sushi unless it includes vinegar. Preferably, as @Umbran notes, a nice fermented fish vinegar. Maybe, @Snarf Zagyg, it is this lack of fermented fish...

Open sandwich = subset of sandwich. Therefore pizza is a (subset of) sandwich. Calzone is just a regular sandwich. Cannoli can't be sushi unless it has seafood in it.

1980's Urban Fantasy Find victim before killer does.

It really has not aged well.

I totally agree. :-)

A hot dog is a sandwich. So's a taco, whether soft shell or hard shell.

I'd call that a good ending. A good cliff hanger, leaving the punters wanting more. Although I admit in my OP I was thinking about actual finales rather than cliff hangers to get folks back for next season.

The temptation for networks to milk a show to death is usually far too much for them to pass up. It's a shame. Because, although I can enjoy the journey of a show, I much prefer it to have a decent ending. TV shows tend to get a pass on having no proper or just a plain poor ending. Other media...

Happy Birthday! (Great minds and all that: I did a Hawaii 5-0 themed party for my 50th birthday.)

Hmm. I may have to revisit Risk. I admit I find the traditional version pretty dull.

I count myself a non-Trekkie but general sci-fi fan. I think DS9 is the best series, although since I haven't seen any of the newer series maybe there's mo' better to be had. And by newer I mean anything after DS9. That being said - I don't think DS9 actually had a very good ending. It was...

When did Risk get nukes?

I'm pretty sure bards love happy endings. It's doable if you're a dedicated enthusiast. But it getting set up isn't cheap or easy. The hardest thing might be finding a player you can play your media on. As I type I am sitting in a room surrounded by VHS, Umatic, MiniDV, Digibeta, Beta SP and...

We don't have any wax cylinders where I work. But the archive up the road has a small collection. Recorded about 1905. As for asking other sections favours to get stuff digitised... We call that technical training. 😁

I'll go tell the audio guys that they're cool. I'm video and film myself, so I'm still pretty cool. At least, my wife thinks I'm cool.* *trust me, she really does. No need to ask her.

Republic of Rome is a brilliant game. Never managed to finish a full game alas.

Haven't played it much in recent (er, like last 25) years. But I did play it about 2 years ago with my wife. I'd told her about the game and she was fascinated by it. So one day, I bought her a copy as a present and we were able to get 6 player game going. She was out of the gate like a bolt...

I work at an archive. We have at least 4 working reel-to-reel machines. So I guess that... love is all around me.
