Simple fillets vs these obnoxious complex curves. Yeah I’m right there with you.

how it feels

Æbleskivers!

Savory or sweet.

Coconut syrup. Throw some macadamia nuts in your pancake and slather it with some coco re’al cream of coconut. Delish.

The Fischer King came out a decade earlier, let along Awakenings, Goodwill Hunting… even Good Morning Vietnam was overall a very serious movie.

Wow, this guy is insufferable.

Check out F/X. It’s litterally about practical special effects. It’s been a long time but I remember liking it a lot. I wasn’t subscribed to Fangoria but my buddy was.

I was talking to someone about dead alive earlier this evening at my 8yo bday party. Such a classic.

“I kick ass for the LORD!”

Just pick Burmese, covers both. I’d probably choose that and Japanese.

USB wall-wart

We got the kids tablets for long car rides too. We let them use them as a reward. PBS Kids games and Epic (books) are good compromises.

I wasnt really aware of Moomin until meeting my Finnish sister in law, so I dont have the deep roots to the 90 cartoon.

So my sister in law just got back from Finland and gave my youngest an oversized Stinky Tshirt. She loves it and wore it all day.

I didn’t get to get a lot of comics as a kid. I got punisher because they tended to be more insular. I borrowed friends/relatives Carnage comics but never got to finish the run. I couldn’t get into fantastic 4 partly because there were so many iterations, and some of those I would get the lecture of ‘well you really gotta start here and this references this story line from 5 years ago’.

Punisher was simple action and tended to have shorter story lines.

there are plenty of indie low budget fun and dumb movies I remember liking this one https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/blood_guts_bullets_and_octane

I had a really interesting conversation with my conservative, boomer, mom the other day. She talked about being young and working a job and on payday she would cash her check and the first thing she would do is get an avocado and sprout sandwich from a local restaurant down in southern California in the 60s.

Amazon Prime is the only one that’s been hard for me to kick…

This presupposes there is some music you stopped listening to after high school, Im with you, I still listen to a bunch of that stuff. Some not as often as others, but it brings back memories. I was a metal head though and there was a lot of great 90s metal.

According to Bloomberg, Johann Rupert told the conference to bear in mind that when the poor rise up, the middle classes won’t want to buy luxury goods for fear of exposing their wealth.

“How is society going to cope with structural unemployment and the envy, hatred and the social warfare?” he said. “We are destroying the middle classes at this stage and it will affect us. It’s unfair. So that’s what keeps me awake at night.”

… its almost comical how he thinks of this. The first thought is his businesses wont be able to sell luxury to anyone but the ultra wealthy.
