I notice you can’t buy a 3X. Do you have to actually wear it? I suppose I could buy a small and wear it as a bandana.

I remember going to see the Texas Rangers in their original ballpark back in the seventies. Metal bleachers that made deafening noises on bat night, 108° in the shade. If they hadn’t had water fountains (with really long lines) we’d never have made it out alive. —but if you ever get to go see their spring training

Did you notice who the street vendor was? Look it up. This was a joke for film buffs.

One of the first reports after taking charge was the Musk was asking for a report on which coders had submitted the most lines of code in order to identify “low producing” coders. Experienced coders immediately pointed out that coders working on the most difficult problems are the ones who submit the least code just

If God hates all the same things that you hate, it’s pretty certain that you’ve created God in your own image.

Give it a year.

I wonder if they even know about DC Comics’ character Trigon. Making all you kids characters look as if they were possessed by a demon couldn’t have been an intentional strategy.

Here in north Texas, it’s like a time machine - Piggly Wiggly held the top spot fifty years ago, Safeway was in its prime forty years ago, WinnDixie had a moment thirty years ago, Food Lion took a stab but fell apart quickly, Albertsons had a dominant decade or so twenty years ago, was mostly supplanted by Kroger ten

Because very few 1-week TV promotions are worthwhile, so whenever restaurant do promotions like this, web sites / social media are the only way to actually promote them (and for most consumers to find out about them). After all, few people will open a fast food app before making their decision to go there.

The Dallas Auto Show often looks like this on weekdays, but the interesting one to watch will be the upcoming State Fair Auto Show. Being on the fairgrounds, it’s usually pretty crowded even though it’s generally a pretty small thing for the carmakers.

I take it that this was a list of what is currently available for streaming? I can recall at least three other Robin Hoods, and two other Pinocchios - not including movies using those characters that were not even loose adaptations of the original tales.

Absolutely. In a similar vein, conservatives tend to idolize some point in the past without realizing that this point was when they were living off their parent’s generosity and hadn’t really started their career. In other words, when the living was easy and they didn’t really need to consider the real life challenges

He just almost admitted that he might possibly have nearly been wrong, but not really.

Almost every “smart” device is literally a dumb device that relays every ounce of information it can reach to internet based servers which possess the actual processing capability. If it can’t do 100% of its work off the internet, it should be illegal to call it a “smart” device.

Oklahoma is mostly boring - except for the last stretch of roads as you move from Oklahoma into Arkansas. The stretch that is so brief there is no opportunity to turn off of it to go north or south is full of low mountains and genuinely pretty - for most of the year. If you’re forced to drive through the eastern

If you aren’t remorseful and are trying to convince me you are, it is my business. And, you’re an asshat. You can never deserve forgiveness without repentance.  That’s the problem with too many religions.

Nice to see the kinja-verse finally acknowledging that black & white films are worth recognition again. Haven’t seen much appreciation of pre-internet era media of any type since io9 imploded. I really miss that.

No one has ever made a better breakfast-in-your-car meal.

1979, The Amityville Horror. (Rated R). I was 12, but lived in a small town and it was easy to get into movies I wasn’t supposed to - they didn’t care. I had already read the book, and was heavily into a cryptid / ghost stories phase, so I thought I was prepared. This was long before amateur ghost hunter shows took
