Opus Moreschi is the single most great name I've ever heard. Sounds like a Bond villain, or a metal band

@christophermerlot3366 2 года назад

The goalie for the Vancouver Canucks is named Thatcher Demko--I've been joking for awhile that he sounds like a Bond villain. In the early 20th Century there was a horror writer named Algernon Blackwood. That's my favourite name ever. It's like destiny. Enter the world with a name like that and you WILL write spooky stories. You will not be a plumber.

@@scrubjay93 I agree with your comment of full-sized rolls vs sashimi or individual roll pieces up to the point of saying "...about the volume of a large burrito." A 'large' burrito is almost the size of a small baby! There is a place in Seattle, for example, that will sell you a burrito literally called the "Baby Burrito" because it is so huge that picking it up is like holding a newborn. Yet, I have never seen a sushi roll larger than ~1 in or 2.5 cm in diameter. Now I am definitely ordering sushi tonight...

The only meanwhile introduction so far that I've liked. I hate how long and tedious they always drag on.

That’s why I always have green tea with sushi, it helps with digestion.

The tepid response to your Big Ben joke serves you right. The man is a legend.

Is nobody gonna mention what a weird name "Opus" is? Guy's dad must have hated him

It isn't weird. Just reserved for actual thing. Basically it's being named after a month or a musical instrument. June, Opus, Blue. And while not topping the charts, there are thousands of Opus out there. -said Opie Taylor, maybe.

Was he named after the cartoon penguin?

That was a great show to see live! Very surprised when he minimized the intro but hilarious when an audience member pretended to be the announcer saying "Meanwhile" because I mean who doesn't do that?? XD That's why Stephen's laughing and pointing saying "Not tonight!"
