    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    Will Smith was out of line, but I can definitely agree with defending Mike Tyson. I mean, really, who picks a fight with a champion boxer? I think a major societal problem is that while one parent wants their kid to go to college, and another wants their kid in the trades, society doesn't often...

    Pocket Knife

    Found one on eBay. Specs says they're from the 1950s? Could be older, but I haven't dug that far, TBH. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175203082761?hash=item28caeae209:g:ZfMAAOSwahdiMUrW

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    I've found myself making this expression a number of times in this thread.

    That have been fine some 40 years ago, but today the average community college semester costs more than what a kid makes working at KFC all summer. And corporate is looking for somebody with 10 years managerial experience with a Bachelors in business management to even apply to be a franchisee...

    Proverbs are fair and well for Oliver Holmes, but idealism and pursuit of excellence doesn't pay the bills. Opportunities in the real world are won by sucking up to the boss, not from the sweat of a man's brow. And if I'm to die a poor man, I'd rather die a poor man with a roof over my head and...

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    One thing I've learned working both front end job in retail to back end job in retail is that the work never ends, so don't let the work end you. It's EASY to get burned out on these kinds of jobs. The monotony and hopelessness in the infinity of the work is palpable. In the end, the trick is...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Not to mention that Reese was a basic soldier in the Future War picked for the mission because it was necessary for John Connor to exist. It's a self-fulfilling time loop. Kyle Reese has to be the one sent back with no information so that he can naturally fall in love with Sarah and John can be...

    You know you are getting old when:

    Nah, I've been doing that my whole life. Can't tell you how many things in my life have permanently disappeared because I put it in a "safe place." Now I don't put stuff in safe places anymore. The safest place for anything is out in the open where I can see it and remember it.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Finally saw The Batman yesterday! Holy cannoli, Batman, that was a masterpiece! Totally worth the 3hr run time. Don't know how people are saying they were bored, this was Batman crime thriller at its best! And with a few courses of solid action to keep things interesting. My god, that car chase...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Watched "Cold Skin" (2017) last night. Doesn't really have any big names surrounding it, but it was incredibly well done. In 1914, at the outbreak of WWI, a British weather station attendant (David Oakes) in the far reaches of the world finds himself in over his head when he discovers that the...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Last night I watched "Chaplin," directed by Richard Attenborough, and starring Robert Downy Jr as the title character. There's some sort of humorous irony to casting Geraldine Chaplin (the daughter of Charlie Chaplin) to play Chaplin's mother. Then I watched "Hitchcock" starring Anthony...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    As I like to say, you know the the English language is odd when your can record a record, but can't record a record.
