They would want my ass refrigerated?

Phew ..... I thought you were going to demand my ass be stimulated

I've always joked that you could batter a bunch of cardboard, soak it in buttermilk, cover it in spicy breading, do it again and deep fry it .... and you could base an entire restaurant chain around it.

Absolutely great film with a great cast ... I'll probably be rewatching it again soon, now that I'm thinking about it again

I always thought so ... one of the most unique and memorable villains I've ever seen in any movie.

I know it's hard to have children play adult themed characters or personalities in movies ... but it is a completely disturbing thing to have a child go after everyone as a villain or play an adult role ... nothing more disturbing than a child with the psychotic mind of an adult.

The only other character like this that had the same impact for me was Kirsten Dunst playing a 100 year old vampire in the body of a little girl in 'Interview with the Vampire'

Because the only major news I hear from south of the border is how it is getting worse every day ..... and not better

That's the thing ... I'm up in northern Ontario in Canada where we can get -40 degree weather in February. The winter is probably the only time I'll prefer big cups of hot coffee .... only because I want to drink lots of hot liquid to keep me warm .... but even then I regulate how much I drink because it is really a big pain to drink lots of drip coffee, get outside in cold temperatures bundled up in pants, jeans, long underwear, jackets, shirts, belts and then have the urge to pee!!!!

It was the peak of civilization

  • no internet (or at least popular, easy access internet)
  • no social media
  • no streaming content
  • no online distractions

Which meant

  • you spent more time talking to people
  • you just spent more time with people
  • you read more to ease the boredom
  • you used a library more
  • you read actual newspapers written by journalists more
  • you questioned the government more
  • you had to pay to use an inconvenient landline all the time which meant you called less and wanted to just see people more

Now with a high speed internet connection, we're disconnected from one another and we believe in every hair brained idea we find online.

I know how time works ... I just don't want to reminded of it .... (now my back hurts ... again)

What should we call it then ..... someone should ask the Internet to find a new name for the 'Popemobile'

 

This whole timeline is getting so strange that I wouldn't be surprised if this actually happened.

 

My wife hates it when I use these terms for our kitchen and bedroom.

 

I happened on a bit of TV trivia a while ago. I enjoy watching a Canadian TV Show on CBC called ‘Son of a Critch’ … great show with great writing and acting … it’s simple, holky, funny, endearing … reminds me of the 80s show ‘Wonder Years’ … and it’s all based on a family living in the 80s in Newfoundland … all things I really love and enjoy.

One of the show regulars is Malcolm McDowell … who played Soran in the Star Trek film ‘Generations’ ... I also found it amazing that someone like McDowell was co-starring in this little Canadian TV show.

In the episode ‘Old Friends, New Friends’ - Season 2 Episode 10 … one of the guest actresses was Alice Krige … who played the original Borg Queen from the Star Trek film ‘First Contact’

It was really neat to see McDowell and Krige together in the same scenes in this episode … Soran, a mad man in search of eternity and the Borg Queen in search of eternal slavery.

My wife likes watching America's Got Talent with all their highlight reels and it got me to thinking, there's a business out there making a ton of money from parents allowing their children to perform for free.

 

EDIT: ... changed title from 'monkeys' to 'apes' ... thanks to @Diddlydee@feddit.uk for pointing it out

 

Did everyone notice how this election wiped out all the previous leaders and now we're faced with being introduced to a new crowd of political leaders.

Elizabeth May with the Green Party is the only one still standing.

 

Star Trek: Enterprise - Season 2 Episode 23 - Regeneration

The episode starts in the 22nd Century in the Arctic .... and the first thought I had was .... WE BEAT GLOBAL WARMING!!! Because there's still ice and snow in the Arctic.

Every call I've ever had that was a wrong number, misdailed number, pocket dial or whatever that wasn't supposed to be for me turned out to be a spam call or marketing call for something. Most of the time, it was a way for me to confirm my number to some dumb marketer.

For the past year or two, I answer all mysterious calls I don't recognize and put it immediately on 'mute'. If the person calling doesn't identify themselves ... I let them hang up first and then I just block the number. If they identify themselves with some weird marketing message ... I let them hang up and then block the number.
