- Are you not the failed Presidential candidate who ran on the perverted slogan "Make Your Wet Dreams Come True"? - Sir, I believe that you are referring to Al Smith... And his slogan referred to ending Prohibition.

-Did you not once improvise a song so great that it impressed a demon and saved your soul, but then you were unable to recall how the song went? -Sir, I believe that you are referring to Jack Black.

All things considered, I feel pretty lucky; my friends from the other site have largely come over here and I don't regret shutting down my account.

My wonderful wife is away this weekend, teaching a class on how to make her handbag designs. And what do I do with the house to myself? I *THOSE* movies, the ones she doesn't like. Why right now I'm watching Arsenic and Old Lace! youtu.be/GCWBDwkhGN0

Supposedly Steve Reeves was offered the role of James Bond before Sean Connery. I've enjoyed his hokey European-made flicks, but I can't say that I see it...

Steve Reeves, the Arnold Schwarzenegger of the 1950s and 60s, showing off the goods while portraying his signature (well, he played the part in two films) role of Hercules.

He was a lifelong proponent of natty bodybuilding and won his titles before steroids for bodybuilding were really a thing. And fuck if we don't need to get back to that!

A long time ago I saw a snarky article about when it's okay to lie about gaps in your resume. Specifically they used the example of having been in jail in SE Asia and saying that you took time to write a novel, but learned you're not a writer. Will former ICE agents just say they are in jail?

I got it first, that means that I get to assign who uses which color to circle their wants for Christmas. Y'all did that with your siblings, right? Also, yes, the Ward's Catalog is still a thing.

The 2026 Montgomery Ward Holiday Catalog. It's going to be a Merry Christmas indeed!!

It looks like a lot, but I bet they're all gone by early afternoon... Oktoberfest at Work has that effect.

Three trays of homemade pretzels and two trays of little apple pies. I work with human pigeons!!

They say it's a poor craftsman that blames the tools, but what if they're genuinely bad tools? Even the best, most reliable brands have outliers...

Well... Fuck that noise. It's incumbent upon people who just care about privacy basic civil liberties (including infringement from corporate interests) to do all they reasonably can to prevent Newsome from becoming the Democratic nominee in two years.

I'm pretty well known at work for my culinary endeavors; mostly around holidays that I insist they celebrate w/ me (they all love it when they're catered!) One of these days I'm going to go in, and without saying a single word, just make crepes all day. They'll be confused, but they'll have crepes.

Dude. Ben, real talk; You got where you are because people took chances on you. AI in film/TV is denying the same to others. Any time AI takes a job that a person could do, it's not ethical. #NoAI

The problem with calling the film "The Social Reckoning" is that, so far at least, Zuckerberg and his ilk have faced no real reckoning for the monster they unleashed upon the world. Mr. "Free Speech Absolutist" washed his hands of people using his platform to yell "fire" in a crowded movie theater.
