Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed The Walker, Texas Ranger Lever in Inventions that Changed the World:
Excellent clip Irish. Theres nothing I wouldn't give for a Walker, Texas Ranger Lever of my own. What a great tool that would be to break up awkward moments or boring conversations.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Walker, Texas Ranger in Favorite Action TV series:
I'll admit that I loved watching Walker, Texas Ranger as a pre-teen when it first debuted. It had action, and I was at an age when bad acting, crappy dialogue, and basic storylines didn't really bother me. I didn't stick with the show that long, and I'm surprised that it continued as long as it did. I thank Conan O'Brien for creating the Walker, Texas Ranger Lever. That invention helped highlight the comedic genius that is Chuck Norris' acting.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed 24 in Favorite Action TV series:
I like 24 but its not one of my favorite series. The action and some of the characters are great, but the repititiveness of storylines and the gross impossibilities that occur do get to me at times. The thing that 24 has going for it is that once you start watching, you don't want to miss an episode. I've watched most of the series on DVD, which helped me get into it. Being able to knock out three or four episodes at a time is the way to go for me.

I believe "suspending disbelief" is the idea behind 24.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Zenyatta stays undefeated, wins Breeder's Cup Classic in Sports Stories of 2009:
This was about as significant as horseracing can get in the US these days. The Breeder's Cup Classic has the largest purse in American horseracing, and outside of the Triple Crown races, its the one that is given the most coverage. The media always loves to publicize fillies racing against the colts, and Zenyatta's 13-0 record coming into this race made her story even bigger. She struggled out of the gate, but followed through with her usual late charge to the finish. It was a great finish, and showed why horseracing can be as exciting as any other sporting event.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Mathew Brady in Famous Photographers:
I'll admit to not knowing much about photography, but I am very aware of Matthew Brady's work because of my interest in the Civil War. Since photography was in its infancy at the time, it was no small feat for him to record as many quality photographs as he did. The images he produced give us a great glimpse of individuals and the tragedy of the Civil War. His work to bring us real life images of the battlefield is one of the first steps in bringing about modern warfare, although his contribution was not about tactics or technology but more about sharing the effects of war with those who could not witness it themselves.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Lemon/Lime Juice in Stuff You Put on a Steak:
I've made steaks that had orange juice as a main component of the marinade, and they turned out very well. I don't know if the sour taste of lemon or lime juice would work as well, but then I've never tried it.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Au Poivre in Stuff You Put on a Steak:
You mean pepper. Au Poivre is a style of cooking a steak, and not really "stuff" to put on it. Regardless of the semantics...Steak au Poivre is excellent.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Brewers trade J.J. Hardy to the Twins for Carlos Gomez in 2010 Baseball Offseason Moves:
This trade looks good from both sides. The Brewers were disappointed with Hardy this year and ended up sending him to the minors during the season. Playing in Minnesota should give him a fresh start and hopefully revitalize his career. If Hardy can adequately replace Orlando Cabrera, then this move should be good for them.

The Brewers picked up Gomez, who should be able to replace Mike Cameron. Gomez is a young guy, and he will save them a lot of money by not resigning Cameron. That extra money should help them improve their weak rotation. Gomez never really became the start that some people thought he would when he was part of the Johan Santana trade. However, he is still really young, and could develop into a pretty good player yet.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Traitor in Movies of 2008:
Traitor was a damn good movie, although I can see it being a bit slow for those looking for lots of action. Don Cheadle gives a great performance as usual, and the rest of the cast was good as well. Traitor does a nice job of showing multiple sides of modern Islam. The movie seemed very fair in its portrayal of all of its characters. Its a very good contemporary thriller, and I enjoyed the resolution at the end of the movie.
