Came for this, and was not disappointed....just missing a mention of the lack of seatbelts,

Sad news about Kelly Preston, but on the positive side, I was happy that most of the national news chains went or at least led with “Kelly Preston, Actress...”. Of course it’s pretty much a consistent shitshow on the local level, including seeing a headline consisting of just “John Travolta’s Wife Dies”.

Can we add my two personal fave himbos?

Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski

John Cena

The Wrangler story guiltily reminded me of something from decades ago. I was looking for a fun used car, saw a dealer’s newspaper ad (remember those??) which included a ‘84 Fiero, and went in next day. Was told car was promised to someone and they were just waiting on financing approval. Told salesguy I was going to pa…

Early 80's. Gradual clothing evolution from nerdy to New Wave Cool. That went fine until I pursued a mall-based center only perm with the sides of my hair cut in closely during my senior year of high school. That actually looked great until it started growing out, and my extremely thick straight hair took over.  I…

My friends know that I only semi-jokingly refer to those as “Legionnaires’ misters”. The worst ones are those built into an actual fan, as that can blow potentially lethal water mist to the further corners of the outside seating.

Same bro types work as pharma reps. Yuck.

But....ST’s pizza was terrible, and disproves that already disputable old cliche about pizza being like sex....

Not fully pertinent, but: It is just so reassuring to hear from someone with thoughtful, well-expressed opinions and where they completely avoid any self-indulgent bloviation.  And her discretion about the others is refreshing.

‘We will never forget your sacrifice’: 2 Florida deputies die from coronavirus”

This hits close to home. Shannon Bennett was close friends of friends. From what I understand from them, he was a genial, fun, kind and dedicated human being.

Broward and Miami-Dade counties in South Florida are a strange mix of the same…

Holy crap! A friend’s roommate in college had this on his side of the dorm, and let’s just say, it perfectly defined his personality.

Using the COVID-19 epidemic in this manner is pretty disgusting, but of course exactly aligned with the m.o. for this type of reality show: “Let’s shove a camera in their faces and give them some upsetting news, and see what happens for the benefit of our audience!”.  In this case, however, it is significantly more…

The ONLY reason I watched this show back then and still remember it was to see the Blondie videos—-they were from the full video version of the band’s Eat to the Beat album, which at the time was quite a novel thing to do. But, Blondie was big in Japan well before the US, as the saying goes, so it made sense for them…

Exploding poop.

Used to work in the actual lab areas of a medical testing company. Weekend walk-in refrigerator failure and ignored/unheard alarm by security and minimal staffing resulted in an unholy mess of intermingled, super-stinky human poop all over the place. Fecal specimens are often collected in and stored in…

I’ve been blessed with low expectations for b-days, so rarely disappointed or horrified, and fully satisfied with a simple “happy birthday” from family/friends. Truly worst by far? When I turned 5. My sibling’s birthday is the day after mine, so we often celebrated them at the same time on one of the two days (really…

All good tongue-in-cheek fun, but you know there are plenty of conspiracy theory idiots out there who will buy right into this crap. Always makes me wonder how many modern conspiracy theories started just as someone’s intentionally humorous post or comment...

I want to see this! I consider myself a fairly savvy person, and I was probably 75% of the way into Goodnight Mommy before I started recognizing the possibility of what the twist might be. Loved how the actually really attractive modern house (I’d live there!) was leveraged to create tension primarily without the…

Wasn’t this the same situation where one of the two men she helped escape was described as having a big penis in an official police report? I even think some media stories tried to play that into her being “dictamized” and thus the reason for her actions (eye roll)....

Ricky’s death was one of those points in life where one’s innocence is lost. 

Not directly in reference to the linked criticisms, some of which are well written even if a bit too snarky for my own tastes, but: to me, the general problem here is best summed up by that old cliche “Everyone’s a critic”. Another victim of the alleged meritocratic powers of the Internet. I don’t care if you are a…
