  1. I was alive, maybe still drooling and peeing on myself which I'm almost back to the same stage now... I just wasn't here. Went to Brazillian steakhouse, LOVE THE MEAT SWEATS. It was good, not cheap but a lovely event for all. We did all the jokes, "we're here for the brazilian, can we get porked (have the pork guy come around) "just the tip" because we are consumate adults.
  2. Our local connection...didn't know this ever happened but it was long before my time
  3. Wrap Stockard Channing in some bubble wrap because she's 78! and we gonna kill talking about how much we love her. I went to see Bullet Train last night, first I'm angry because it wasn't $5! rude! no passes on this one. It was aiite, lots of blood and gore. I'm personally on an anti Brad Pitt thing but I had to put that behind me for some of the others in the movie. Brian Tyree Henry, LOVE, dear sweet lord in heaven I love this guy. He's in Atlanta and initially I didn't think much, I'm fully camp Paper Boi now.
  4. Oh yeah they were massively too old to play high school. ONJ was about 5 years older than John Travolta. I didn't care. My guess is that it came out when I was 6 ish, I'm sure we weren't too current with the times for when my sister got the record ...78-79? By my timeline abraham lincoln and JFK were both assassinated roughly the same time. I thought Elvis had been dead for decades. First thing I ever saw in a paper was Elvis' funeral and asking my mom why they were going back to his grave so long after he died? And it was his original funeral.
  5. That is kinda hilarious. I liked DeeDee Conn...but this is weird too I like Stockard Channing's mouth. I'm a weird mouth person. I like a quirk. I do not generally make out with girls but if I was gonna, Stockard Channing is it. I did not know this, Jeff Conaway (Kanickie?) from Grease was married to ONJ's sister. briefly. So many things from Grease I absolutely did not understand until many, many years later. I did not recall owning any Olivia Newton John records but I now know that I did. They played clips and and I had flashbacks of my walkman and listening repeatedly.
  6. Oh yes, ONJ gets me in the feels. We have the whole christmas where my sister got the soundtrack to Grease and a record player. My dad had a movie camera going and my mom popped in a cassette tape to record. So we have 8 seconds of film and 45 minutes of my sister and I "oohing and aahhing" over stupid stuff like " a WHOLE dollar! and TOOOOOOOOTHPASTE" ( I also stepped on my sister's dollar, got yelled at and cried and sent to my room and my father yells "you better dry it up before I give you something to cry about) ** and she's got grease playing the whole time in the background. Several weeks later she played for me the dirty words and I was in denial. Technically knew the entire soundtrack except for what I got wrong. "Beauty School Dropout" for years I thought it was "MR. McTurmsin flunked shampoo" which was "missed your midterms and flunked shampoo" I think it was popup video decades later where they showed John Travolta running around with cling wrap and I remember being sooooo confused, like was the budget on the movie so small that the only prop they could give him was cling wrap??? and pop up video explained to me that if you couldn't get a condom you'd wrap it up in cling film and I remember being super grossed out. While I liked Sandy, I was definitely a Rizzo girl. I do not know what the hell it is with Stockard Channing, I love her with every bit of my soul. **meanwhile, in my room, I'm laying next to the door and doing the ugly cry under the door crack hoping someone would come take pity on me. I feel like there's a whole "christmas story" like Ralphies in this one particular christmas.
  7. I could have sex with monkeys. You don’t know. But I don’t. I was barfy all week. No foid from Sunday til Thursday. Today is the first day I’ve felt better. And I broke my shower! I was gonna rinse a shirt and soaked it with detergent going for the super sprayer and I snapped the booger off In my hand. So it’s baths til Sunday when I can get a replacement. And co worker with the work at home job just tested positive for the corona. She works at home! She’s 25 but she’s like an elderly woman trapped I. A young body she goes to get groceries Every morning at 7 am! Im sure someone breathed on her.
  8. When Paul Sorvino died the other day I learned he was not already dead. I do not know what I did (probably food poisoning) but I went home early yesterday and just slept and I feel better today but super sore. I think safe to say its not covid and not monkeypox
  9. I can hold on the castle for a week
  10. I’ve watched a bit of the “lottery dream homes” and they’re not really buying super extravagant houses. If they won $1 million they’re buying a $250k house. I’ve watched the uk version too with Laurence Llewelyn Bowen and they’re very modest prize winners but if they don’t lose half to taxes then I guess it works out better. I won’t worry about that with my 1billion. Please order me once Scottish castle. I don’t care how cold it is or no modern amenities. I’ll be wandering the moors being depressed. I want to shout “speak English” at the help. (That’s a joke because they are speaking English)
  11. All of you can quit worrying what you gonna do with the money. Check already got my name on it! I’ll give you all $2 to go buy your own ticket. I’m sure I’d have to have several houses. Maybe I’ll come visit all you poors and get you some Olive Garden. Nothing too good for my friends! I’ll spare no expense.
  12. This may be a question only Nashville can answer, how ubiquitous was Western Auto? I watched the crawdad movie and they brought up Western Auto several times like it was a big deal for a small town. We had one, when I got Donny and Marie barbies for christmas one year I got a note from Santa that said Marie didn't make it onto the sled so she could be picked up in town at Western Auto. Like it was a hardware store but it was also a department store. You could get toys, clothes, furninshing. If you had a small town and no department store it was Western Auto. Is this right? I don't even recall going inside myself. I think we stopped there in town and my dad would go in and we'd sit in the car and wait for him. In town town like a real town we had TG&Y which my gramma called turtles girdles and yo yos but I do not know what it actually stood for. We could get a scoop of ice cream for like 10 cents. and of course Piggly Wiggly.
  13. I know I will too. Here's how humid it is today...and how badly our air conditioning keeps up. I'm wearing cargo pants, there is no stretch in cargo pants. and they're sticking to me...so I ripped a knee because I didn't hike my pants before I sat down and they didn't slide because of humidity. So I'm either the hulk and my knee hulked out and busted my pants or it's too damn hot in this office!
  14. I loved The Hound, Tormunde Giantsbane and Davos Seaworth, Brienne of Tarth of course Tyrion. I've been watching Foyles war on my acorn and I pointed to the tv and shouted Tyrion's dad! That was quite possibly the most satisfying death of all time on Game of Thrones.
  15. I couldn't keep anybody straight for the longest time either. I just watched something the other day and I kept thinking some dude was cute and familiar. I looked him up and it was that stupid Jacquin hagar the one who gave Arya Stark the wishes and who introduced her to the face changing people. And I hated him in the show. He was the Russian guard in Stranger Things. And I hated every single thing about the ending of Game of Thrones. I'm on the fence with this new one too
  16. They also explain that thoreau is not walden pond, no association with Henry david Thoreau. it's pronounced Thor-ooooh like threw not throw. anywho it quotes my high school english teacher who wrote a book "Roxanne Heath Densmore" she says it was named after Henry David but she's full of shit. This is a woman who was married like 9 times and looked like Divine of John Waters fame, she was fully born a woman but chose to look like a 80's drag queen.
  17. Shiprock is in the northwest corner of New Mexico, there's a whole town named ship rock and the actual rock is outside of town. It's directly north of where I grew up, thoreau. I think from another angle there's a tall skinny rock that sticks out that resembles the mast of a ship but otherwise the only resemblence is that it's a huge mass on a flat desert as if a ship sailing on the sea. I googled Thoreau and in our trivia they claim the car repair shop "herman's garage" is on the historic registry of places. hahahha this is where I took my car when I totalled it while my dad was out of town on a fishing trip. Busted all 4 axles, knocked the entire front end off but we turned the tires inside out and I drove it to the garage... huffing and puffing like that cartoon "speed buggy" it was hopping up on one side and literally puffing, but I drove it to the garage and as a joke I said to Jimmy Herman "Think you can fix it before my dad gets back?" which was absolutely a joke, there is no hiding what I did. How would I have paid for it?? But my father, to his dying day, I swear believed that I meant to hide it from him. It was like $4900 worth of damage! in 1989 dollars! They did not officially total it but dang near close. They did repair it and my mom sent me to Seattle for the summer so my dad didn't strangle me.
  18. It does look like Ayer’s rock. I know we didn’t know much about castles in New Mexico. But they also have “ship rock” which looks nothing like a ship.
  19. Yes it does snow in New Mexico. We were pretty high up 7200 feet so mountains. It doesn’t usually stick though. One day and then it melts. You could get by most days with a sweater. But definitely some storms that ended up with nasty muddy roads.
  20. That’s castle rock which is the view from my friends house. This is where we used to ride our motorcycles out on weekends and go up and party. but guess what?!?! GUESS. you’ll never guess the miracle that occurred. I got a mf’ing raise!!! 10 years! Ten whole years I never got a raise!
  21. interesting route. I always wonder what in the United States people want to see and usually New York, LA, Chicago. I don't think of Lubbock texas. Lubbock itself may not be the ugliest place on earth but very close. Personally I think Odessa, Lubbock, Hobbs New Mexico are the armpit of hell as far as looks go. There is absolutely nothing there. There is an actual town called "No trees" texas. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO TREES! You can see the lights from Odessa about 100 miles away because there is nothing between those lights and you. Completely flat, no hills, no trees. desert desert desert. My grandma lived in Goldsmith, uncles in Odessa (if you wanted to google map to verify I do not lie about the uglitude of the place go to Dawn Ave and buffalo Ave, Odessa tx) there is a water tower there and my uncle lives under it somewhere. do a street view, now they have planted trees in their yard but just scroll there's not a gd thing in that town. when they say "Friday night lights" that's exactly what it's based on, that's the permian basin Permian high school upon which the football movie is based. My cousin didn't play football but lordy it's a religion, there's nothing else to do but church and football. we visited one time and my uncle sent my cousin on an errand and said to take us with him and he "cruised" the church. We were like "what a nerd" but he did end up knocking up his high school girlfriend so he wasn't as goody two shoes as we thought. for shits and giggles you could google map Thoreau New Mexico too. its ugly but has trees and mountain, the red mesas. everybody always says they're pretty but if you grew up with them they're meh.
  22. but you could introduce those things to the amish, like an actual steel guitar, go build it in your shop. tell them unless they sing loudly and screamy then god won't hear them. I have heard the amish cheat, like amish housewives carry a cellphone and they go out in the field to make calls. Just like the mormons and "soaking" somehow god can't see them
  23. Why Lubbock Texas? We experience much hotness during the summers here, a/c is essential. I know that the UK doesn't have a lot of air conditioning so I get it. Ours is a special humid heat meaning it does not cool down at night. It's steamy 24/7, oh joy.
  24. I could probably go back to horse and buggy times. I only go about 4 miles to work. Horse could eat my grass. Maybe we should all be Amish?
  25. I did read where somebody was watching netflix in their tesla and the netflix froze which shut down the entire car. Dont' know if thats true but tesla's scare me. Dude got locked in while it was on fire they had to break the "unbreakable" glass. ha
