Ugh. Fake “patina.” That’s not how vehicles of that era patina.

She died in 2016 at the disappointing age of 60.

I rode Triumph triples for a quarter century. They all could get by with three gears: First (launch) Third (fun) and 6th (Highway.) Easier for Tech to check the mechanicals, a more robust transmission.

(Kim McGuire was actually rather pretty. That face was just cosmetics and facial contortion.)

54-55 is the new Thirty-Something.  (I’m barely 54.)

I would watch religiously if Ryan Reynolds hosted Jeopardy.

Yes. Halle Berry is 55, or just about exactly my age plus or minus a year.

I’m gonna do my damndest to see this in the theater opening weekend. I was stoked about Black Widow then really disappointed when it turned out to be basically Captain Marvel levels of meh, but this is looking pretty decent and unless I hear really crappy reviews early on I want to give it as big an opening weekend as…

It was what it was. Unfortunate, but not uncommon at the time. I later found out my best friend’s aunt was dating him at the time. Which, to be fair, could have been said about a lot of people’s aunts.  He had side pieces on more sides that exist for most people.

Perhaps the solution is to make everyone have 3-speed transmissions?

That’s not fair.  My boner is at least as intelligent as our previous president, and possibly better looking.  (Opinions differ.)

My parents were big Gordon Lightfoot fans, so in the 80's when he was in Portland I took my Mom to his concert at the Schnitz. It was a terrible disappointment. He was so drunk he was slurring his words and the music was terrible. It didn’t help that this was about the time his voice started to go.

Remember, remember.

Then your guess would be wrong. I think there’s a melanin argument here.

Bloodsport, like Hawkeye in the Marvel universe, is an unnaturally good marksman. Normal people don’t shoot bullets out of the air.

Good man.

Somehow I think we both had the same childhood albums.  (Not sure which one that was, offhand.)

I don’t think he will be. I think his age and the bad taste the whole previous experience he had will preclude it.

Cosby’s joke was: “That’s what I thought an accident was! If you’re ever in an accident, whether your underwear was clean before or not you’re going to have soiled underwear!”
