So what’s the red (purple?) vehicle in the back?

I was thinking the same thing — a mask-required policy in effect, isn’t exactly moving my personal needle towards heading to the cineplex anytime soon.

I guess spending 1.8 billion to launch a bunch of clips was much more eye-opening than the 6 million to Reese. Percentage-wise that’s the same as spending $6 out of a budget of $1,800. It’s not nothing, but it’s close.

Gen-Xer here, so I’m quickly turning into an Old Person(tm), but:

I have switched from my “local” HEB (<5 min away) to a newer one that’s about 15 - 20 min away. It’s, well, newer, with a better layout and much better selection of the prepared foods as well as staples. And people seem much more chill there. And I don’t mind the drive since it’s about the only “exercise” my vehicle…

YES I completely forgot about that nickname!

That’s basically the only name my mom and our family called it.

I’ve posted this before, but it bears repeating.

And its sequel —

Not my story so I can’t enter it in the Pissing Contest, but a co-worker would NOPE right up whenever we suggested a particular local “country cookin’” restaurant for lunch.

Rant incoming:

Random thoughts from someone around 8 - 10 yrs old at Kenny’s early 80s peak:

Stealing a thought others have posted in the past —

Seconded! The stock photos of the orange ‘Vette are kinda meh, but Kristen’s photos of the bronze(?) one (EDIT: and orange one, too) make me want to go buy one.

Obligatory

I guess through the years Rush in a weird has always been the best / worst of them... Guys like Beck or Jones have a low ceiling because they’re, well, raving kooks*. Rush, on the other hand, has a good voice for radio and can at least string together a cogent (but still horrible) argument.

Yeah I went through my own Rush Limbaugh / Fountainhead phase in college — anyone else recall his late-night TV show? The audience was about a dozen old people and the room had lots of paneling; they looked like they were sitting in a jury box.

What’s equally amazing is how much someone like Ian McKellen obviously reveres Christopher Lee.
