We put a GoPro on Grandpa to find out what he does all day. Apparently he tries to catch birds and the neighbors feed him table scraps.

Grandpa, what did guys do for fun in your day?
Not much. Mostly, we just took turns marrying Elizabeth Taylor.

It's amazing that Planes, Trains and Automobiles was released with an R rating. This is pretty much a PG film that gets an R mostly for one scene where the F bomb is dropped about twelve times to good effect. There must have been pressure from the studio to drop that scene.

Our ancestors were among the town’s earliest settlers. Great-great-great-grandfather looked out over the rolling hills and said, “Meh, good enough.” We’ve been settling ever since.

The tooth pattern on the bucking saw in that Three Stooges episode taking place in medieval times was NOT period correct. Sorry to be so harsh – I needed to vent.

Remember when you bought 30 movies on Blu-ray from a huge discount bin and you were so excited about the great deal you were getting because you were too dumb to figure out why they were in a huge discount bin? No? Just me then?

@kellycarlin.bsky.social Just dropping you a note to tell you about a British series you would probably like if you haven't seen it already. It's called Mum. I recall you liked The Detectorists and it's similar gentle British humor and character studies.

I heard a TV comedy writer in an interview say that most people don't recognize and won't respond to a different style of joke or comedy until they have heard it or a version of it several times and observed other people responding to it. But then they will find it genuinely humorous. Weird.

You think you'll use the time machine to kill Hitler but, of course, he seduces you to his cause with his legendary charisma and then your friends are watching a documentary about the Nuremberg Trials and someone shouts, "Oh my God, is that Jack?!"

Panda's are nature's morons. Even without destruction of habitat, they should have gone extinct already. They don't like to fuck and they only eat a plant diet with a carnivor's digestive system. They're like sexy celebrities who can only feed themselves because we pay to look at them.
