you can immediately clock WKRP fans just by seeing whose face lights up with these 10 little words: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
“WKRP In Cincinnati” premieres 47 years ago today — a show that creator Hugh Wilson based on radio staff he knew from his days in advertising.
“Every call letter that I ran through my mind was already taken,” he said. “I think WKRP was not taken because it can be said that it spells ‘crap.'”

Staying in a lot of hotels on tour, I started carrying a universal remote in my suitcase and I bookmarked the various codes/tricks to disable hospitality mode on the hotel room TVs so I could get into the settings and turn off the motion smoothing, no matter how hard they try to keep me out.
the only time i ever gave back to my community (cinephile dorks whose parents claim they can't see it but we suspect are messing with us a little)

During World War 2 over 200K Polish children were kidnapped and, if approved by SS doctors (based on hair color, eyes, nose, etc), "adopted" and "Germanified" into German families. Child kidnapping and forced adoption is nothing new.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Silly person, there's no such thing as too many books! 😉

Okay but here me out:
A nighttime library in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, an emotional support library ghost leads you to the books you are looking to find, and midnight croissants are served during every full moon.

One of the best written TV characters ever in my opinion ❤️ Only John could have brought Jenkins to life!

Is anyone else getting an excessive amount of scam calls where the caller ID just shows "HH?"
I have blocked over 30 numbers with that caller ID in the past 2 days. Over the course of 1 hour they called me 13 times. It is not a real call. The internet says it's very dangerous.

Library of Congress Madison Building 5th floor. Stand in the hallway & ask a random question. In seconds someone will poke their head out of a division door and answer your question. No prompting, just a head hanging out of a door saying your answer and then popping back in and shutting the door.
Every library should have a secret musty back room with a weird local archive and an archivist who with a dry laugh (like crisp autumn leaves) who has been waiting patiently for the sudden need to arise for this specific cache of information

There's a small farm in between my neighborhood and the neighborhood next to us. Some of us lucky homeowners get to enjoy cows coming right up to the fence in our backyards. The farm manager puts the food troughs along all of the outer edging of fencing so we all get to enjoy them visiting ❤️
