This feels very similar to your “ no TMNT toys mixed in with my GI Joes” thing

Lol Bears. In other news the Commander's all black uniforms look pretty nice. I like them helmets, very understated.

Add a scoop of hot chili, some shredded cheese and you've got yourself a proper meal there.

The Bills blew it, now we've got to deal with the Pats leading their division again. Ugh. This remains the worst timeline.

The couldn't be bothered to schedule the second one to start at 7:30 on the west coast? People in NY don't sleep, they'd stay up for it. Also why are all of these teams based in cities east of the Mississippi?

I would rather re-read one of my favorite books than try a new novel these days. Free time is at a premium and I don't want to risk investing any of it in a dud.

Warhammer Update: Spent my last day off resting up my broken toe painting another Ork, decided to try a pallid white skin. The skin tone worked, but it wasn’t working as a color scheme until I went “full clown” and added polka dots.

The polka dots really bring the outfit together

Dick Tracey was the first time I realize a movie in the theater could be bad. My mom spent the whole ride home disparaging it, with Madonna's acting being a prime point of contention.

Warhammer Update: Today’s coffee painting project is a large lad. Picking a color scheme was tough, I’m not sure if it’s the sculpt or the green skin but I just had a challenge getting it settled. I think the end result was pretty good.

I got a pretty decent skin tone (for an Ork) but it feels restrictive. I’m gonna test out non-green Orks next time.

Holy shit! I pulled off the win! Space Turtles forever! Thanks again to @teeveeben.bsky.social for hosting.

Scored 3 points on the last turn, look at those blue fleets.

Truly deviant behavior, ascetics over practicality. Those planet models look neat, but how am I supposed to get a fleet of 5 dreadnoughts there? Now if they were made of ferric materials, and each ship had a magnet hidden it's underside now we're cooking with gas!

Man, look, if I had reasonable assurances on the chain of custody of some commercial farm-raised ratmeat? USDA-approved and all that? (Like, a Biden USDA... not this DOGE USDA shit...)

I'll pay $12 for it.

I stubbed my toe so hard last night I still can't walk properly. Got a DR's appointment this afternoon to see if I managed to finally break a bone.

I stubbed my toe so bad it’s turned blue, now the doggies have demanded a midnight walk. I’m hobbling around like a low-rent pirate while they just sniff away.

I generally eat like an adult, but I do love me some specific trash foods:

Taco Bell, cheap frozen pizza, chicken tendies, hard candies that come in little metal containers.

I used to put Stouffer's frozen lasagna and mac and cheese on that list, but the last time I had them they didn't cut it.

Benny 666-Cults @teeveeben.bsky.social · 7d

Pretty much all Silent and Greatest Generations candies.

Bit-O-Honey, Mary Janes, Tootsie Rolls, Werthers, any salt water taffy… I fugging love that stuff.

Store box spaghetti and Ragu sauce. Papa Johns pizza. McDonalds milkshakes. Box cakes. Oatmeal cookies. Raisins, any time.

The police narrative of Mark Sanchez’s stabbing is truly bizarre, in the sense of “ah I see why they charged the guy who got stabbed.”

apnews.com/article/nfl-...

Details of the confrontation were disclosed in the affidavit, based on video footage and the truck driver's statement to police.
The video showed a man believed to be Sanchez running in the alley toward the truck, the affidavit said. The driver works for a company that specializes in commercial cooking oil recycling and disposal, and he was performed his work duties, it said.
Sanchez opened the truck door and began talking to the driver, the affidavit said. Sanchez told the driver he couldn't be at the loading dock and that Sanchez had spoken to the hotel manager, the document said. Sanchez smelled of alcohol and his speech was slurred, the driver told police.

Sanchez followed the driver from side to side of the truck, the court document said. When the driver darted toward the driver's door, video showed Sanchez "grabbing and throwing" the driver toward a hotel wall, it said. The fight continued against a dumpster and Sanchez threw the driver to the ground, it said.
Sanchez climbed into the truck but got out when told by the driver he wasn't allowed in, it said. Sanchez repeated that he spoke to a manager and didn't want the driver to replace fryer oil, the document said. Sanchez tried again to get into the truck and blocked the driver from calling his manager, it said.
Believing he was in danger, the driver grabbed pepper spray from his pocket and sprayed Sanchez's face, it said. Sanchez wiped his face and advanced toward the driver again, it said.

The driver then pulled his knife and stabbed Sanchez as the ex-quarterback came at him, it said. The driver fell onto pallets on the ground, he told police.
"While P.T. was on the ground, he could only see the feet of Mr. Sanchez coming at him, making P.T. realize that he was in a life-or-death situation," the affidavit said.
