    Think of it as humor. Like the funny kind, only different. It was a totally silly movie, but fun. Wife and kids enjoyed it, nobody should expect any kind of scientific accuracy out of a movie like this. .

    Bigfoot is often mistaken for a Sasquatch. Yeti never complains.

    Pretty sure the little girl was deaf from watching the movie.

    Family wanted to see it. Wasn't expecting much, but it was a lot of fun. Pretty brainless, but some of the best CGI you'll see. Should have been a seizure warning for one of the flashing light sequences. Only one nit to pick:

    How's the grandbaby?

    These two quotes reminded me of spending time at the fire station and the ER. Firefighters ALWAYS make fresh coffee. Emergency Room, not so much, but both of them make coffee strong enough to crawl out of the cup. It also reminded me of how fortunate I am that now I have an office, and can have my own Keurig instead of having to use the communal coffee pots. Trivial thing that pleases the ever loving shit out of me. I have an office, and don't work in a cubicle farm. It's not a big office, but it's awesome to have a little sanctuary during the work day.

    Getting old may suck, but talking about your first set of wheels never gets old.

    Ford has done some weird things. They killed the original Ranger, which was extremely popular. They killed the Bronco, which was popular. They took the Thunderbird from being a cool sports car to a bloated family car, then killed it. They nearly killed the Mustang by turning it into an econobox until someone figured out there was still a market for the real Mustang.

    Had a Midget for a while. Lots of fun to drive, but every part that fell off of that car was of the finest British craftsmanship. Electrical was a nightmare.

    I think it was, but I was past racing by the time I got it. My brother and I got in it one night, took the top off, and cruised about 250 miles through back roads, Texas. Just talking and enjoying the Texas summer night. Getting that car was like getting a date with the high school prom queen twenty years later, and finding out she's still 18.

    First car I had that I loved. Got it during my mid life crisis. Wife was not amused.

    You were a teenage kid, and peer pressure means a lot. Trucks in the 1960/70s were work vehicles. The "cool kids" had Mustangs, Camaros, and Chargers. I think I had the only truck in my school parking lot. As to how much perceptions change, in the old Don Knotts movie, the Reluctant Astronaut, to show how much of an oddball he was, he drove a Willy's Jeep. Today, in small town Texas, every hot girl wants a jeep.

    My first vehicle was a 63 Chevy pickup like this, except with 200,000 miles and beat to hell. Had a straight six and a three on the tree. When the engine died, my dad put a 327 from a wrecked Camaro in in. Screaming beast to fifty, cause those old Chevys didn't have a high gear, but damn, off the line... Supposedly I helped him put the engine in, but he knew everything, I didn't know dick, so I mostly handed him tools or put in bolts after he told me where to put them.

    Confession: I do think the girls that went to school when I did were mostly better looking than the girls in school today. They fixed their hair and wore nice clothes. Today, not so much. Mini skirts were the reason I nearly flunked a couple of courses. There was a girl named Linda, had the best legs I've ever seen, sat across the aisle from me. Don't get me started on Anna, either.

    I'm on a Facebook page for my old high school class. Getting so fukkin sick of people posting memes with shit like, "You'll never be as cool as we were."

    “The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.” A Farewell to Arms

    Dittos on the get well part. I think B1G was worried about it from COVID, not the vaccine, but bad side effect.

    Love you, too.

    Yeah, after the initial Baylor blitz, Gonzaga got in a situation they hadn't been in all year long, having to play from a legit deficit. When a team hasn't been behind all season, except for a few early two point deficits, it messes with their heads. You could see it when they started rushing shots and throwing up prayers. That also affected their free throws.

    That's what he said. NCAA tournaments, how do they work?
  24. Richard Kimball
    Yeah, it was fun watching all those writers getting whiplash and having to rewrite their game summaries at halftime. Hell, ESPN even dropped the "it would have been a great story..." into their game summary and spent a full paragraph talking about all the things a Gonzaga win would have done.

    What part of "selfish SOB" wasn't clear?
