I hated this. The other two childhood trauma points were the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Oliver Reed's Bill Sikes in Oliver. The stuff of nightmares.

"Some people liked that idiot saying 'Liberty Biberty.' Let's try to make that happen." "You're the genius Don. What else?" "Uhh... *hick!* A creepy yellow puppet with human teeth? A crown?"

Oh, the splendor of an off-centered, black v-neck T. Bask in Connor's masculine pulchritude as he seduces us with the gentle curve of his clavicles.

A show recommendation if you can get it. We watch it on Paramount+. Colin from Accounts. There is no accounting. Colin is the dog. Season 3 is coming out soon. It's Australian.

Is it just me or has Keith Carradine looked the same age for 45 years? Keith and Powers Boothe in Southern Comfort (1981).

Sorting through my passed away father-in-law's old files. He kept EVERYTHING. I came across this old TWA boarding pass sleeve and got a chuckle out of their self promotion. "OUR MILES HAVE NO EXPERATION DATE." Oh yes they do.

When I was a kid, the go to for an unattractive woman was Phyllis Diller. As a comedian, she screwed up her hair, makeup and clothing to lean into the joke. As an old guy, I can see through it now and she was a nice looking lady. RIP Phyllis.

Go find and watch Colossus - The Forbin Project. It's free on Vimeo. It's a frighteningly prescient look at AI (before we called it that) all the way back in 1970. Two super computers in different nations designed to fight each other decide to join forces. Good luck humanity.

They were called shoe salesmen, ladies, and they would seduce you right there in front of your husband.

Say Hello to Liberty Biberty? Liberty Mutual should fire their advertising agency and demand their money back. They were robbed.

Remember when certain album covers were iconic? Even if you were a kid and didn't know anything about the band or their work, you saw the cover art in poster form in the record stores. All gone now.

We had a visitor in my wife's garden yesterday. I think she was hamming it up for us.

Do you want to be completely bamboozled about SpaceX's progress or successes? Just ask Google AI a question about it. If you think they are anywhere near to putting astronauts on the moon next year, you must have holes in your skull.

I was going through old documents and found my wife's birth certificate. I started laughing when I saw she was checked off as "single". I told her and she said, "Yeah, as opposed to a twin." I looked again and of course she was right. Things are much funnier when you're an idiot.

There was no gentle on ramp for 7th grade junior high. In 6th grade, they barely trusted us with scissors. In 7th grade they handed us X-Acto blade shanks in art. Mouth breathing coaches forced us skinny and naked into gang showers after demanding we risk our lives performing feats of strength.

AI advertising on Amazon. These weirdly flawless women decided to recreate a lovely Regency era tea party and they found the perfect authentic teapot.

In the animated film The Iron Giant (which I love) everyone hates the villain, Government agent Kent Mansley but no one concedes an uncomfortable truth; Mansley is right. The Iron Giant WAS sent by malevolent forces. It's just accidental damage that disrupts the Giants programing.

For this model, we did some real out-of-the-box thinking and put the chimney flu on a different wall than the fireplace.

Even President Camacho would be a better president. At least he understood that when the crops were failing he needed to reach out to someone smarter to find a solution. Our Idiot in Chief doesn't respect the expertise of other people.

Kids, when I was growing up, in a car, in a movie theater, we just held our drinks. Then some genius, probably the one who put wheels on suitcases, said, "Hey, I just had a thought."
