  1. Maybe they watched Maude. She played Bea Arthur's daughter.
  2. That makes a lot of sense then.
  3. A Billy Mays commercial has been playing on either MeTV or Antenna TV for some sort of adhesive that fixes rips and tears. Thought it was odd since he's been dead for fifteen years and have no idea why they'd air such an old commercial.
  4. So Saturday night I was in the mood for a light and silly Christmas movie and I picked The Snow Sister just going by the quick preview and reading the description. Light and silly this movie is not. Quick word of warning: someone may start cutting onions while you watch it.
  5. I've had two colonoscopies and the prep is the worst part. Make sure you've got some reading materials, air freshener and some really soft TP. Best of luck.
  6. I tried the Oreo-flavored Coke and it was okay for what it was. It tasted like somebody had dunked Oreos in a Coke. Hopefully somebody comes out with a French Fries dipped in a Frosty-flavored Coke I'll try that for sure.
  7. Did the Thanksgiving cooking this past Sunday. Tried fitting a 7.5 lb turkey breast in the crock pot(it didn't fit), so I put it in the oven( 7 hours @ 325F). When it came time to take it out and portion it out the skin was super crispy and the meat was very moist. Then I used the drippings to make dressing. I dropped a box of Stove Top Turkey Stuffing into the still hot drippings and stirred it around for five minutes(making sure every crouton got some juice). And then I "made" mashed potatoes by warming up some Bob Evans Red Skin Mashed Taters. The dinner will last all weekend.
  8. He played Superman in an ABC Saturday morning preview show from 1973.
  9. Best of luck.
  10. Today marked the end of my ten year journey at Shelton's Farm Market in Niles, MI. I came into this job knowing zero about produce, but I knew that the job paid time and a quarter after forty five hours(vs. the previous job which paid ZERO OT even though I worked 60-65 hrs/wk). During my time there I learned routes over most of Southwest Lower Michigan and Northern Indiana. After a while burnout becomes a serious thing and giving zero fucks starts to wedge it's way in. Especially when going to Grand Rapids, MI(which was the source of most of our back hauls). Even though anger came easily(not towards customers(for the most part)), I tried to keep it professional. The disgruntledness came to a head a little over two years ago and I took a job switching between a straight truck and a semi delivering meat for a few months. The one good thing to come out of that detour was me calling a worker at a customer "Mr. Moustache Meat Shoes"(because he had a stache and his work boots always had meat on them). So a new era begins next week. Here We Go.
  11. Or an origin story for Big Dick Black where he goes from an NCO in the US Army financial corps during Camelot to his post-military career as a Schlong Slinging Seducer. A little alliteration is exhilarating.
  12. First pic I saw he was sporting a handle bar stache. But yeah...as edgy as Hot Topic via AARP.
  13. The first recent pic I found of him he looks like the love child of David Costabile and an emo Jack Sparrow.
  14. Looks like we have some well red movie watchers today.
  15. Two episodes in on Landman and enjoying it. Paramount+ might as well rebrand itself as Taylor Sheridan+. I wonder if all of Sheridan's series occupy the same universe.
  16. Elwood Edwards(the AOL "You've Got Mail!" guy) on Nov. 5 at 74(the day before his bday).
  17. I'm 54 and my BMI is 25-ish. I'm 6' and weigh 190(had been as low as 173 a few years ago). Those numbers are to superior when when I was 42, weighed 360+ and my BMI was way over 30. I got my start date yesterday and promptly gave my notice when I got back to work.
  18. Today was my last Saturday delivering for the current job. All restaurant deliveries cease after next Saturday and all deliveries to retail stores are done Thanksgiving week. In the past month I placed five applications. I interviewed for two, one told me I wasn't classy enough to haul trash and two never replied back at all. It had been over a week since the last interview(at a job fair) when I got a call from that company asking if I was still interested. I told them I was. I filled out paperwork on Tuesday morning, had a physical/drug test on Wednesday and got a curious call from them on Friday asking me about when the doctor wanted me to do a sleep study(for sleep apnea). I told them that nothing had been said about taking the sleep study. They asked if I'd been given a medical card(basically you don't get a DOT medical card if you fail a physical), I said yes and they said they'd probably conflated my results with someone else's. They gave me an "Oops, my bad!" and said they'd get with the hiring manager to setup an orientation date. As soon as I get a start date I'm giving notice at the current place. A lack of communication at the current job has been a recurring theme. I've found out more info from my customers than I have from the management where I work. It is what it is.
  19. Started Grotesquerie yesterday and got four episodes in. One hell of an interesting show. I also noticed that Nurse Redd seemed to sport a hairdo that seemed to be straight out of the 40s.
  20. Watched Cast a Deadly Spell yesterday. Interesting mix of magic and film noir in late 40's Los Angeles. I liked it quite a bit. Fred Ward was great.
  21. Damned Millenials. LOLZ.
  22. Also Arn refers to the "Four Horses"(him, Ole, Tully, Flair).
  23. JFC. That sucks.
  24. I'm all up to date on the Greg Klein-Brian Solomon-Mark Cole triumvirate for the past two weeks. If Morris Sigel doesn't get in then shenanigans are afoot. I think there may have been a Greg Klein on McAdam's pod as well. FFS. Wrestling and True Crime make up most of my podcast listens. After a while I'm wondering if the Midnight Express offed some people in Goremania, WV or if I'm going insane. YMMV.
  25. Hadn't heard of it until now, but I ordered it off of Amazon and will give it a go.
