I know what you mean. I saw it as a teenager as well and didn’t see the point of it until I was about halfway through the film. It made total sense, especially with his deterioration toward the end of the film. Lancaster’s body language is pretty epic in this—he looks like he’s physically getting smaller as he gets…

The remarkable part of the role Lancaster chose to play was the gradual physical and emotional deterioration of the character....turning the final 10 minutes of the film into one of the most haunting portraits of emotional/physical desolation ever portrayed on film.

On one hand, you got to admire Burt Lancaster for being willing at age 55 to take a role which required him to spend the entire shoot wearing nothing but a pair of speedos.

“Why, station by station, it seems to form a track all the way to my house!”

Holy cow I saw this movie when I was a teenager and I thought I was really smart because I “got” it.

You can make pancakes with sour milk. They come out really good. My mom used to make panettone (non-yeast kind) with it, but it got dry really quick.

I was at a gas station and saw some packages of Zingers (vanilla), I do not eat snack cakes (or sweets really), but some end-of-the-world impulse inspired me. They go surprisingly well with a Chenin Blanc.

I got my first grocery delivery yesterday and had the same issue with produce. I wasn’t sure how to order my apples, by the piece or by the pound, so I ordered 6. I eat one a day, so I figured if I got 6 lbs they wouldn’t go to waste. I got 6 apples. Now I know. Grocery shopping online is an adventure!

I ordered grocery pickup for the first time yesterday. I thought I was ordering a bunch of celery but only got a lonely single stalk.

I can’t really quarantine due to nature of work, but when I found out that I had to travel to San Francisco for 3 to 4 weeks, I bought three (3) huge fuckin bags of pistachios from costco and had them delivered to my location. I plan to eat every last one of those motherfuckers.  

Name definitely checks out! Stay thirsty! ;-)

I bought my strange purchase way back in February. There have been a few concerts over the years I’d have liked to go to but balked at the prices for tickets. This time, ZZ top and Cheap trick were coming to town (we’re old) and the tickets were ‘reasonable’ for this day and age so I got some pretty good ones and we…

Not sure I would straight up call it weird.... But I’m a enthusiastic drinker and I have NEVER bought as much bulk alcohol as I have in the last 5+ weeks. Picking up pasta, bread, butter and milk weekly.... and multiple handles of vodka and Bourbon. ( I have extras just in case) 

Unfortunately when I tried it I ended up back the the fucking Vogons which is not an answer for how improbable it is my deck will be built. I can only surmise it as an allegory to the bureaucratic hurdles I can expect in the process

Zaphod, the Heart of Gold can figure out exactly how improbable the deck getting built is— put in the odds, and voila!

Not me, but my partner came home with these (they’re surprisingly delicious). I think it was his way of trying to balance his love of sour candy with something healthy?

“fuck all y'all" has been a go to of mine since The Boondocks

Yes, it really just highlights the truth about Libertarianism/Objectivists: they’re against the government helping OTHER people. They’re totally fine accepting, and in fact feel entitled to receive, assistance for themselves.

In the grand scale of poetic irony, a libertarian with a gofundme page is just under and Objectivist at peak irony.

“Not no, but fuck no” will now be my go to alternative to just saying “no”. I’m also tempted to start using “fuck all y’all” which was Cowie’s response to people suggesting he was a meth-head.
