Then the directors need to get off their lazy asses and relearn their craft! Technology advances, and faster frame rates mean things like working no-glasses-needed home 3-D television, more realistic backgrounds, better effects, all of it!

Agreed. The Founding Fathers set a minimum age limit for many positions - let’s start setting a MAXIMUM age limit! 65, say. And if we ever get decent health care, mandatory senility checks as a condition of running for office at the Federal level, and for all State governors.

I have to agree. I was edgy in the 80's and 90's, now I’m trailing behind the pack. When you’re old enough to have grandkids, you’re old enough to no longer be on the current edge of culture, and you should look to those very same kids for the status updates you need to stay relevant.

Have a long love affair with a Nicki Minaj look-alike? ;)

Runny yolks? Blurgh! Gimme hard fried eggs, or better yet, lots and lots of hard cooked scrambled eggs! I like your choice of steak, though. It would also pair well with hash browns, I think.

But you can fool all of the Trump base all of the time. :)

Someone really ought to deepfake that scene with Trump’s face in place of Hitler’s.

You meant to say “I Love SPENDING Other People’s Money.”

“Hold the pickles / Hold the lettuce / Special orders don’t upset us / All we ask is that you let us serve it your way!”

I flew last month, and one of the TSA agents told me that, within a year, we’ll no longer be allowed to have carry-on items. I honestly can’t see that happening.

Yes, Von Trap’s submarine was full of seamen... :D

Wasn’t that what the movie was about? Joining the Na’vi? :)

Reminds me of those commercials that the Mexican airline made, offering DNA tests, with a discount that equaled whatever percentage the testee had of “Mexican” heritage. One tired old fart who looked like he’d just gotten out of a CSA re-enactment looked shocked as hell to discover how Hispanic he was - not to mention…

What, you paid $80? I got a $50 Tracfone, just by buying refurbished on their website. LG Stylo 3, a few scratches on the case, no big deal.

And their reply would be “Choice is for the wealthy. You’ll eat canned meat and be grateful, just like the folks on the Pacific Rim who learned to love and appreciate Spam. You wanna be vegan? Become a Hollywood star first.”

Yeah, used to get that all the time. Mom would buy it in the commissary on base. That, beans, tomato sauce and macaroni would be the evening casserole.

To be honest, I have no problem with canned meat. As a GI and the son of a GI who grew up on post, I have fond memories of shopping in the commissary, watching my mom buy the large cans of spam, bulk hot dogs, five pound bags of macaroni and yes, government issue bricks of cheese.

Used to be a military thing too, Bingo. American sailors, enlisted men mostly, who’d spent twenty years at sea and had a (semi) decent retirement package by Asian standards (at the time - the power of the American dollar) would pick up an Asian wife and buy some land in the Philippines or China. WW2 slowed that to a…

Unless you have truckloads of money. Remember Anna Nicole Smith and the living mummy she married.

You likely have less Northern European heritage than most. The ability to digest mild after childhood tends to run in that line. To quote the Mayo clinic’s page on the subject:
