My kitchen looks like a crime scene, but juicing the haul of pomegranates I got on sale at Krogers was an excellent decision. Home juiced tastes very, very different from Pom. Like a thousand times better!

In the early 90s, crossing the border into the US from Mexico, I presented my US DL and BC. The agent didn't believe my BC was real, but eventually let me go. The other passengers weren't questioned about their papers. Ironically, I was probably the only one with legitimate papers in that van.

When Return of the Kings came out, the multiplex near me did a marathon showing of all the extended versions culminating in the premiere of part 3 at midnight. Me and a bunch of other nerds spent about 12 hours in the theater that day, not a single complaint 😅
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.
