Man, I work down at the local port these days, and the longshoremen just love to drive around in their little pickups. Almost all of them are Ford Rangers from 20-odd years ago. They keep going and going and going. I think there’s one newer Chevy Colorado down there, but everyone fights not to have to drive it.

I’ll just leave this right here: I like the Rivian, but it’s barely a pickup in the same way that a Honda Ridgeline is barely a pickup. And none of the others rate as a pickup truck either, with the possible exception of the Bollinger.

Get as close as you possibly can, preferably to the driver’s door, and bonus points for kicking the ass of your car over in such a way they can’t possibly back out. Take pictures of how you did not scratch their artificial penis.  Buy some ice cream and wait.

A friend of mine’s sister was a US Marshall. She’s an absolute psychopath.

I’m not going to speculate on whether or not she needs to be under conservatorship (hell, I don’t know) but there can be no possible argument that she should have the right to fire any conservator placed over her and allow the court to appoint a new one. Particularly when her current conservator is her father, and…

I admit the joke isn’t mine, but I don’t remember where I first heard it.  Could have been one of his?  Back from the day when he was the weirdest comic on the circuit.

It’s only available in Japan.

He was awesome in Jojo Rabbit.  He got to be the hero and everything.  Twice!

I thought Sam Rockwell was the perfect weasel who had failed upward his whole life, in a situation way over his head.

Hahaha!  I remember that conversation.  It happened many times between many groups of people.

Do they get Obama-phones?

I once met a girl at a bar, but she said she couldn’t take me home because she was on her menstrual cycle. I said that was okay, I’d just follow her home on my Honda.

I am strengthening myself against that very disappointment.

It’s made in Wakanda.   All he’s got to do is flip a switch and it’ll turn desert tan or midnight grey or whatever is necessary.  Them’s just parade colors.

Who can afford red meat anymore?

That’s been a widespread term used for quite a while. I think the first time I saw it was twelve or fourteen years ago, and I’m sure it’s been around longer than that.

“Pound Shop” is a sort of generic term for such shops of different brands. In Ireland the’re “Euro General” and other things, but people still often call them “Pound Shops” in the same way that we in the US tend to call them “The Dollar Store” even if they’re actually a “Dollar Tree” or “Dollar General.”

Clancy Brown has killed just about ever role he’s ever had. From The Kurgan to Rawhide to Sergeant Zim to Captain Hadly to Surtur. Such a lovely voice and versatile actor. (And I agree, his Lex Luthor is the ultimate.)

I won’t speculate on the actual details since I wasn’t there.  I suspect it was multiple factors.
