My second ex (don’t ask, and SHE was the doctor) had a bariatric procedure done by a local plastics guy. She was left with a horrific scar all the way from her sternum to her pubic symphysis as a result of this twit having left his wife (or having his wife leave him) when he was caught boinking his receptionist. His…

Are you able to tell if any of them are driving Porsches? Do they have wine collections or spouses that are WAAAY out of their mitochondrial league?

Thanks for that link!

I can tell you from long, practical experience, this is 100% true. If a doctor EVER gives you financial advice, run. It’s either founded in bullshit or illegal. Or both. 

No,the plane is TINY! It’s like a plane for ANTS!!!

Um...not a wagon. It’s a hot hatch with a press agent. You’d be hard pressed to get two baguette and a croissant in there. 

I have the movie program too, and saw it in Cinerama. When the car rolls up the side wall, my head almost came off my neck. Cinerama was perfect for the split-screen shots. 

Don’t forget the ZF transmission. Hard no. 

In the ER we call them Donorcycles. 

A friend of mine had a lime-green Asteroid back in the day. He had to keep changing gas stations, because everywhere he went, the thing spewed oil everywhere. If he filled up, by the time he left the station there was an Exxon Valdes oil slick under it. He had to keep a 6-pack of Castrol in the trunk.

And better thought out, Kip Thorne notwithstanding. 

In many ways, I feel sorry for kids today. The pressure for them to live in a bubble, from almost every direction, has to be excruciating. And the bubble that their in is connected to other bubbles, but only peripherally. (Foam?) They’re bombarded with media and branding, targeted in a way we certainly never were,…

Put in a non-bullshit ending that lives up to the rest of the movie and I’m in. 

Thank you. I thought my eyes were going goofy. What the hell?? Is this AI content???

ANYWHERE north of 54.

I think we fall into the category of ‘niche’ which is The Industry’s way of saying ‘Old’., And when I say The Industry...pick one. Or perhaps The Culture Industry. Yes, burned out on Marvel and Star Wars, LOVED Andor (although when I first heard about it, I thought they meant ‘Endor’. Fortunately not. One group of…

Yup...totally agree with Block. I’m kinda in transition, moving between acquiring and purging. One of the best things about digital editions is that you can try before you buy...either through the library or on kindle, I can read a digital ed, and if it REALLY calls my name, I may buy the book, or get subsequent books…

Always good to have a godfather figure, no matter what context you’re talking about. Ryan Reynolds certainly made sure Deadpool wasn’t going to be a commercialized watering-down, and having someone like Cooper who is also a director should help to ensure a smooth landing. (Interesting to see if WB has an appetite for…

Finance when I was a kid was always the issue. I could get several mass-markets for the price of a trade, IF the book I wanted was available in trade format. I’ve only recently started purging my King hardcovers. Some of them were, I’m sure, exercises in tree murder. But some are going to be here a lot longer, like…

Man, I used to like Wendys....dead to me now.
