Well, the light was on.

My guess is that his father committed suicide.  He made that comment to Jamie about how his father was harder on himself than on Ted and Ted overcompensates for his possible depression by being so sunny.

Hey, I’m pretty thumb-like, but not asshole.  Not all us thumbs are bad - though most bad guys are thumbs.

Saw Shang-Chi last night.  Not great, but quite good.  It had a different vibe from other MCU movies, which was refreshing.  The action was sometimes hard to follow, but the cameos and callbacks to other MCU properties were well done and unexpected.

No kidding.  My son and I had quite a time with the dafuq and hol-up moments in that movie.  We watched it in one sitting and it seemed as long as the Snyder Cut.

I see what you did there.

When teaching our kids to swim, I taught them what I learned at summer camp.  Unless there’s a diving well, most deep ends are only 8 or so feet deep.  We practiced sinking to the bottom, relaxing, and then pushing to the surface for breath, eventually making your way to an edge.  Panicking in water saps strength and…

The kid is one of the best upcoming actors, though I think he has driven past ‘upcoming’.  Didn’t even realize it was the same kid I’ve seen in a half dozen different projects lately.

He’s always reliable, but my favorite, recent gig of his was on ‘Wayne’ on Amazon Prime as the put upon principal with a bad record of raising dogs (and students).

I got a text on my Freedom Phone that these were legit.

I’ve had those guys on and off over the years where I live.  They go around the neighborhood in a truck with a freezer in the back and sell meat door to door.  They always have the ‘I have some left over from deliveries’ line.  Thought it was just a sales tactic.

REVENOOERS!

Oh, I know.  I was rolling with it.  I kind of hate how entertaining I find the show, given  how predictable and patterned it is.

I actually like him in the first season when his running gag was him volunteering for medical trials to pay for school and he had some different, weird side effect each time?  They then re-tooled it to be a run of the mill romcom, but it did have Nathan Fillion.

No.  They have one treasure that they have only lost twice.  That should get them through another season.  There is enough ineptitude for another season and other potential family members to come back to life.  Seriously though - the show has only three different plot devices they leverage.

We enjoyed it.  This season is just as good and all the people are just as dumb as last season.  Seriously - every single plan is the worst idea and predictably goes tits up.  I will have to look up what Drew Magary thinks of this season.  His review was the only reason I watched in the first place.

The pic at the top kind of looks like the bigfoot from ‘The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then Bigfoot’ which I liked, but of course it had Sam Elliott.

Duncan wasn’t Fremen, but Duke Leto had him embedded with the Fremen as an advance scout and emissary and their acceptance of him paved the way for the Atreides to be accepted by the Fremen, or at least tolerated by them at first.  But yeah, the writer gets a lot of it wrong.

The way I heard it was ‘Drunk words equal sober thoughts’

We found out when we got home that there was a shortage when there was no lettuce or tomatoes.  We called and they then told us they were out of shit - not when we ordered.
