Random music question: How do native Mexicans view the mariachi music we hear in Mexican restaurants? Is it stuff they want to listen to, or do they just think it's cornier than a truck full of Mexican street corn?

Ugh. I need to find one that accepts my insurance. They're getting old. :(

It's a wee bit late for THOSE Giants. But then again, they're still using the NEW JERSEY Nets logo so....

This just lends credence to my belief that they're lying to us, and we just discovered the world's last great source of ECTO Cooler!

The Kings (1951 as the Rochester Royals) and the Hawks (1958 in St. Louis) are the only two droughts that were longer than the Knicks in terms of actual championships; the Suns & Clippers haven't won and have existed longer than the Knicks drought was.

The two longest unique championship streaks were going on in MLB... at the same time. 1978 Yankees to 1987 Twins and 1982 Cards to 1990 Reds. Between the 78 Yankees and the 90 Reds, only the Dodgers won more than 1 title. The other 8 year streak is NFL, 2009 Steelers to 2016 Broncos.

The other streaks: -Ends 14+ years without a NYC title (2nd longest in history after 1905-21 Giants) -8th consecutive unique NBA champ (longest ever for NBA, T-3rd Big 4) -Puts the Sixers on the top ten list of longest NBA droughts -longest streak in Knicks history w/o Finals appearance

As someone who had a GE exec/alumna give his commencement address (after the previous 3 were Jane Pauley, Mary Higgins Clark & Mayor Daley-whose niece & nephew were graduating), I will never, ever understand why people are stupid enough to choose business twerps for commencement addresses.

I regret wasting money on In The Heart of the Sea, the book blows it away and Thor and Scarecrow (and Q, a little) need to know that the Boston accent didn't exist for almost a hundred years after that movie was set.

Just checked the IMDB, and yes, it's the first note in the trivia. (And being what day it is, yes, I have looked at that page multiple times for multiple things. :P)

I thought it actually BIT BFM in the truck scene?

Seriously, though, where do they get these cars? There's no sane rental company that would want to deal with what these chuckleflicks do to cars on a daily basis.

Random baseball fact: Only 4 presidents have presided over their hometown team winning the World Series: Teddy for the 1st Giants win, FDR for '33 and all the Yanks titles, Reagan & the Dodgers, and Obama & the Cubs. Only Nixon & Truman could count home states, but not home teams.

And a Giants fan. Because being fans of the East Rutherford football teams takes years off your life.

I'd rather worry about when the hell the last time the place was cleaned, or if they bothered to refill soap/TP/etc. than worry about who I'm peeing with. Get in, get out, don't catch anything or step in anything.

From another post, this space is supposed to be 90,000 square feet. The entire White House's footprint is somewhere between 50-55,000 square feet, the original building is about 15. So a building six times the size of the actual White House is gonna go...where exactly?

Random movie thought of the day: In You Only Live Twice, why is it that they use the secret code "I Love You"...while working with Japanese agents? Don't they know?!

Maybe they do around you...but I feel like I never, ever see them kept in the freezer in stores around here. Maybe they're trying to avoid that? Or turning everyone in the parking lot into the Joker with the scars?

As my BFF says, there's only so many times you can tell them not to touch the hot stove. Gotta let them do it to learn.

Yup. People forget that Jefferson was supposed to be on GW's right before it was proven geologically impossible. And the photoshopper who made this pic conveniently photoshopped over the giant cleft in the rock that's right there past Abe. (Not to mention the one running behind all of them.)

*A* Todd, not *THE* Todd @friarreb98.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

There's a long list of things about this idea that would never work. TL;DR, the side of Abe's head is flush, the rock past it's unstable, and the rock behind the faces has a big cleft. And even if it happened, it took 16 years for the Ziolkowskis to carve Crazy Horse's face.

Watching Jaws for the umpteenth time, and every time I do I wonder how it is that, in less than a minute, Brody goes from telling his kids to stay off the swingset to Ellen and Sean playing on it together. I know it's boomers parenting Gen X and all, but jeeeez!

Though there is also a serious one - one of the first cases of mistaking a Sikh for a Muslim was in Providence, later that afternoon. And Mayor Buddy Cianci just made it out like he was a God for pulling it off first.

There were plenty of musical ones, actually. A few album covers got yeeted, and they cancelled a single, "When The World Ends" by DMB because...reasons.

...and the damned AI would STILL get my last name wrong, guaranteed. All it would take is someone changing one letter to the more conventional spelling and AI would just say it that way. Humans will still exist in the chain so therefore there can still be human error.

Now that this four day weekend of mine is up, so are my legs, because I've put almost 17 hours and 10+ miles on them since I got home from work on Friday. Probably still won't lose a gorramned ounce. :(

I will be...right up until I see this week's paycheck, which will look like Mitchell's liquor cabinet on a Monday.
