Caroline Rhea has had that joke in her act for many years.

Absolutely. As a kid, this was on cable often and for awhile there I found myself watching it every time I came across it. I only knew Plummer then as Capt. von Trapp, so it was a real jaw-dropper. Especially since the first time I saw it, it was right before the aquarium scene. You didn’t see that kind of thing on TV…

Note that the link doesn’t go to the Sound Liberty 53's listing, but rather to the older TT-BH053. They are last year’s model, and only have IPX6 waterproofing. The actual SL53s, which do have IPX7, are only $4 more.

“Virtually no cultural footprint”?! Why, it was the cover story in Mad magazine, back in the day. They only parodied the biggest movies because they needed the name recognition to sell magazines to more than just dorky pre-teens like me.

Add some lime juice to this, and it’s what my local called a Perfect John. All the recipes named that online I’ve found are more like a Harvey Wallbanger (they add Galliano) which was too damn sweet even when I was a novice drinker. The PJ was my favorite breakfast drink.

I just take a plastic grocery bag and put my biohazard tissues into it. I can carry it all around the house, hang it from the handle on my nightstand, etc. and then tie it shut and toss it into the big trashcan when I’m done. My husband is immune-compromised and so anything I can do to keep my germs to myself is best.

It’s not a cinematic masterpiece, but it is wonderful campy fun. You should totally watch it.

My high school psych teacher was in a couple of Skinemax flicks as the guy who doesn’t get to fuck. I always thought that was the worst job on the set, but continuity guy has that beat.

Many years later...

My husband’s chemo drug costs $18k for a month’s supply. He has multiple myeloma and the best drug, lenalidomide, is the most expensive drug in the Medicare formulary. Lucky for us, he’s retired military so it only costs us a $28 co-pay every month.

It’s nice to have them be so reliable though. When I want to read something absorbing but not challenging they are high on the list of prospects.

I think, if anything, it can actually be worse for thin people. (Bear in mind, I’m a fat person, so I’m not speaking for myself.) But if the post was, “Hey, I called my co-worker fat, AITA?” the consensus would resoundingly be: Found The Asshole!

Former grocery store pricing manager here, and “signage” is a necessary and practical term for some uses. Nobody has time to say, “the signs, and shelf-talkers, and banners, and door clings, and... ”

Already up to $2.62. That was fast!

Although we don’t usually think of them this way, potatoes are actually a pretty decent source of vitamin C. IIRC, they have about 2/3 as much as an orange, so I guess that was enough for him to avoid scurvy.

Nothing new under the sun. I got a set of those bands as part of a wedding gift back in the 1980s.

it’s also a hot thing, making it a poor choice for these last few weeks of summer.

I don’t use this for day-to-day remembering, but for long-term reminders it’s great. We rent, and this old house has lots of storage in out-of-the-way places. So, for example, I’ll never be able to find the nondescript cardboard box that holds the cheapass shower heads that came with the house, because I stashed them…

They’re recyclable, too. We keep a few around for lunch bags when we don’t care if they come back home at the end of the day. If they do, we wash them and use them again until they’re too worn to seal well and then they go into the recycle bin.
