Dude, Tom Bolaris! Local weather forecaster, makes an amazingly bad prediction on an incoming winter storm - which doesn’t pan out. Goes to Miami to sulk. Get’s roofied by Russian hookers, loses his money and his fucking job.

It’s a movie prop from the 4th version of the movie and was destined for the trash pile. Now people are lined up all day long to take a photo of it with their friends and family.
I don’t get it.

I established a gym routine after I had a mid-life crisis. I was over 50, overweight, had gout and none of my clothes fit. I tried 1-on-1's w/a trainer, but doing it on own faded, so I took classes - specifically HIIT classes and it worked like a charm. Dropped 40lbs in 8 months, kept it off for 7 years, no more gout…

nice. now if I could only make my work email which was a google account disappear. By mistake I linked it to my personal gmail account now my old work email account pops up. I can’t stand it. 

don’t drive a commercial vehicle on designated parkways on Long Island. The overpasses are too low for anything other than a car or SUV to pass under. That was a deliberate design element insisted by Robert Moses to keep the riff-raff from inhabiting the ‘burbs. 

Beat me to the punch. the same people who drink bleach are the same people who believe the world is flat, chemtrails, global warming is a hoax and Jeffrey Epstein is not dead but in Israel.  

Going to a fancy-schamcy restaurant that has high visibility and prices can be an underwhelming experience. The staff will treat you like a one-and-done patron, professional but not personal. The prices will give you sticker shock and the booze will astonomical. Expect to wait a very long time between courses and even…

When Russia was the Soviet Union, I was riding the Red Star from Moscow to Leningrad. The train leaves promptly at midnight and arrives at 8am the next day in Leningrad. As we were getting organized, the national anthem of the USSR came on. Everybody and I mean everybody stopped what they were doing and came to…

Lots of women had the hots for Bob Redford back in the day, until they realized that he was short - way south of 5'10"

I have an app called SkyView. It tracks a couple of satellites, specifically the Hubble Telescope and the space station. Hopefully, it can be upgraded to include the lightsail.

I’ll take Stage Diving Divas for $200, Art! 

Prior to the production, the performer is given a release to sign and read aloud while recording. I’m sure it’s a tense situation and there’s a lot of good cop/bad cop role playing going on to get a reluctant performer to start performing. The script states that she is doing this of free will and not being coerced.…

You got that right. 

It’s a real phenomenon. People transition out of what they were listening to by their late 20's/early 30's and either move on to something else or listen to the music that gave them joy. It’s not an abrupt thing, it’s just there’s less and less popular music that becomes relatable.

You know what? The Democrats keep putting out ‘centrist’ candidates to appeal to a large audience. Yet the GOP keeps putting out more and more extreme right wing candidates, and when those chuckleheads get elected they destroy everything that the centrist Democrat worked to enact. It sucks. We keep tacking to the…

When I traveled a lot for TV productions, I always scanned the room - the crew called it “an idiot check” - just walk back into the room and look everywhere - in all the drawers, under the bed, in the closet in the bathroom and then switch rooms w/one of the crew - he or she will scan a new room. and might find…

Don’t drink before going to bed. If you’re in your 20's and 30's alcohol won’t affect performance - at least too much. But if you’re in your 40's and upwards - booze is a killer. Obviously, I’m only presenting from a male point of view, but when you go dry for 2-3 days, sex becomes quite energetic. 

I read somewhere that the Negroni was invented in France. Specifically, the Hotel Negresco in Nice. But the NY Times is saying Italy. Go figure. 

I don’t know about grey tux’s but the big push is navy tuxedos. Usually navy velvet jacket. It’s very spiffy - Armani makes it. 

Unless it’s opening night gala for the opera, skip the white tie and tails or black tie. Biz casual is fine at the opera - and if it’s a matinee you can relax it a little bit more. Women should wear skirt/dress and men should wear a jacket, sport coat or blazer (and stuff a nice pocket square in there, too!).
