Racism is always a good idea.

I guess the quote fooled me. Thank you

What movie is this from? I’m thinking Mad Men, but that’s just a guess.

Thanks.

Succumb to the siren call of capitalist self-indulgence!!

Personally, I’d stick with white walls. Whatever else you want to do is your own affair. Glad to be of service.

Mile 22. Died at the box office and I’d heard nothing but bad things about it. Saw a DVD at the library and a stranger suggested it to me.

Seriously good thriller with action, intrigue, and some great acting.

Funny, because ‘gob’ is a slang term for sailor.

The term “gob” is colloquial, originating from the slang used within the navy to refer to sailors. Its use is informal and can carry a tone of familiarity or affection among members of the naval community. On the other hand, “sailor” is the more formal and universally recognized term for anyone who works or serves on a ship, regardless of their specific duties or the type of vessel. “Sailor” encompasses a broad category of maritime professionals and enthusiasts, including those in both military and civilian spheres.

Jib.

The jib sail is the triangular one at the prow of a ship. Different countries used different designs, so liking the cut of a jib meant you recognized it.

I’d like to think that if he were still around, the “complete set” would be a bunch of wildly mis-matched books, some with the author’s name misspelled on the cover and a few with cigarette ads in the middle of the book.

You just posted something without a link.

That’s as much a superstition as anything else.

Have you got a shred of empirical evidence to back it up?

I heard a similar idea; you should never gift someone you like a knife because it will sever the friendship.

Bart Simpson has been played by a woman his entire existence

Reminds me.

I was not there, but a buddy of mine worked as a moving man. That day’s client had done something similar, except he’d put the coins in a glass 5 gallon bottle, the kind that were used for water coolers. The client decided to show off for the movers and made to hoist the bottle up onto his shoulder. Bottom came out and coins went everywhere.

Hadn’t thought of that story in a while. Thanks

Picking up pennies.

Most of the comics these days are owned by mega-companies. They could afford to start selling the physical comics for $1.00. When I was very young, being able to buy my own comics with money I’d earned meant a lot to me. It’s how I learned to budget and manage money. A kid would need $100.00 a week to buy as many comics as I used to get.
