Small Talk: Ughngnggh! Ugghhnnn!

[AngelaHunter]

Just go to Google Images and you'll see the best and the worst of TWD tats. My mind cannot encompass the fact that people really want to walk around for the rest of their lives with characters from this show (or any show) permanently etched into their flesh. 

Some are works of art, some are abominable crap, but either way, I don't get it.

This one is really good:

Well i'll have Maggie's portrait with her eyes as the green screen, the app will have to show her shower scene in 'The Boy'.

Who was volunteering to have Negan's 'hip dipping' manoeuvre as a back piece again?

I really enjoyed that movie. It was suitably creepy and I thought Lauren was quite good in it.  I like her because she doesn't feel the need to be a bleach-blond bimbo with big fake boobs - yet. I don't recall the shower scene, however.

You're correct about Lauren, she sometimes tries a bit too hard on the 'push up' technique, you can tell its coming  from halfway around her back., bless.

At least 'The Boy' scene wasn't spoiled by Glenn, and you do have to be careful searching for Boy & Shower Scene in the same sentence 😳

Um, no. I'm one of those weird people who, when told by anyone to not Google something, I don't Google it. I have no desire to look at boys taking showers, or anyone taking a shower. Oh, wait. I lie. There are exceptions to every rule. 😁

I discovered a while ago to think about things before searching google. I get medical marijuana and they have different kinds available and I like to look them up so I get the ones best for my symptoms. They had one called Banana Hammock and I was not prepared for what appeared on my computer screen. 

I learned to use the word strain when looking up marijuana.

[nachomama]

I sure wish we'd get some legal medical marijuana around here. My symptoms are
"sick and tired of all this crap"

I did get to watch "The Dead Don't Die" which I won't spoil. I did enjoy, it's not quite a spoof of Zombie movies but also not straight up scary zombies. Definitley off kilter

Been dying to see TDDD - we’ve been trying to get tickets for a week now - but the theaters around here are staying sold out on it.

[nachomama]

interesting, the theaters around here are being dickheads about letting you know they're showing it. First it was NOT playing the week it came out, (June 14) so I checked a week later and there was 1 theater showing it and it was only playing at 3:45 and 10:15 or some other cockamamy times. We generally go to the movies on $5 tuesday and it was conveniently no playing on tuesday. So I checked Fandango and it let me know only AMC theaters in my area were showing it but my AMC were not. My AMC theaters suck by the way. they're "refurbished" with stadium seating not originally built with it so you have to climb weird. and it does not have the fancy seats. So then my friend sees it's playing on Sunday but I swear to dog it said "no showtimes near me" when I looked middle of the week. It is worth seeing...you will definitely leave confused cuz it is not conventional anything, zombie, spoof, comedy or even just flat out movie conventional,...it aint.

I once googled something I heard about on the radio, it was a dog that did some kind of baseball tricks. I do not know what the search terms I put in were, holy crap did I get something completely different. It amused me though, it was a girl with a mini bat (yes shut up but that's not where I'm going with my story) I'm guessing all porn ladies get the spray tans because the thing that got my attention most was that she had very uneven tan lines. I think you're supposed to get in the spray booth and arms and legs wide, correct? never had a spray tan so I dunno. Well I'm guessing for porn ladies they need to specifically bend over because you're gonna have a tiger striped butt if you don't. She had butt creases which I did not find sexy at all.

I don't know. There's just something about Peter Grave's delivery on the line I mentioned that will never not crack me up. I  mean, he doesn't beat around the bush.

In a quasi-related vein - I quit smoking Thursday before last.  Coming up on two weeks, which I know from past experience is one of my tougher “walls”.

And we went Monday night to see TDDD - which I highly recommend.  I’m grabbing that puppy as soon as it’s out on DVD.

Good luck to you. I stopped 4 years ago when I got sick and didn't mind then but now that I'm better, I really want to smoke a cigarette. I won't though, mostly because I have COPD after 40 years smoking and my throat is fucked up from chemo, but I still really want one.

[nachomama]

I watched "Downsizing" last night, this is my week I tell you for weird shit. At the time that it came out it seemed like a goofy comedy, "Honey, I shrunk the kids" for adults. I remember it didn't do that well in theaters and I remember the lady got a lot of flack for her portrayal of a Vietnamese woman. Anyway, it was not at all what I expected, rather dour, it was trying to convey a heartfelt message. It didn't seem like a comedy, the biggest laugh is towards the end and is so inappropriately funny. She and Matt Damon have engaged in a romantic relationship and she demands of him "what kind of fuck you give me?" and he's all what? She says "8 kinds of fuck, love fuck, hate fuck, break up, make up, random fuck, fwb, pity fuck, what kind of fuck you give me?" which is so very wrong but I very much want to go around asking what kind of fuck anyone is going to give me. But it reminds me of a girl fight I once overheard, 2 very drunk girls were arguing and one called the other a "quarterhorse" (New Mexico, I'm not sure what kind of slur quarterhorse is) anyway the other girl says "why for the fuck you call me bullshit?"

Also congrats on the no smoking, hopefully you get over the wall. My sister only quit because she had a heart attack. At least she has never even been tempted to put another cigarette in her mouth.

Good luck. I quit smoking in 2010 after 15 years. I had a slip up a year later but haven't smoked a single cigarette since 2011. I used nicotine gum. 

And the real reason I stopped smoking? They raised the price to $10 a pack.

IIRC the closest synonyms for “quarterhorse” in this context would be along the lines of thick/stocky/chunky - and if one girl is saying that to another girl, then I’d guess the guys are about  to grab some popcorn and watch the fight that's fixing to break out.

The Lloyd Bridges progression, as I recall:

1. “Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.”
2. “Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.”
3. “Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.”
4. “Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.”

...and after that, it all fades into a not-unpleasant upside-down haze..... 😉

If you need a deterent I have some very frightening photos of both my sister's surgery scar and her little cage she had to get strapped into to get her radiation on her neck. She calls it her Freddie Krueger mask, kinda looks like an Iron Maiden, not the band the actual torture device one would get into. It's molded to your body and every week/day you get screwed to a table (and not in a good way) but as her treatments progressed she shrunk so she had wiggle room and you're not supposed to have wiggle room. If you're claustrophobic, hoo boy!

That’s ok; one of my best friends died from his third reoccurrence of throat cancer last year, so I have all the motivation I need.  Funny thing, though; he never smoked a day in his life.

Oh yes, you don't need to smoke to have the cancer come for you. It all sucks

Two people I worked with, both young women, died of cancer and never smoked a cigarette in their lives. My inlaws both smoked like chimneys. She passed away at 87 and he, at 94. The way I look at is - either you're lucky or you're not and all the cruciate veggies in the world won't change that.

That's how I feel too, especially once you get old. I have a rare incurable blood cancer, have had chemo twice over that past 4 years and I'm in remission now and fine. People are always recommending different books about diet and cancer but I'm not changing what I eat and be miserable when I don't know if that would even make any difference.

[nachomama]

I had a boss once who decided to forego modern medical treatments for cancer, she had the surgery but didn't do chemo or radiation, she believed she could fight it with a macro-biotic diet. uh...didn't work out so well for her, however, can't say she lived any longer/shorter/happier/less pain/more pain than with treatment. My mom and sister went through hell and back with the treatments. Suzanne Somers years ago wrote a book about quitting sugar and some other cockamamy shit she did instead of what doctors said she should do. She aint dead yet. I'm not sure why people don't do both, as in cut out some of the stuff you know isn't good for you but also treatment. I wouldn't give up all regular food and just eat algae that grows under platypus balls, just sprinkle a little on your french fries. Same difference. I think a lot is luck, in which case, I'm completely fucked because I've got every kind of cancer and heart disease and diabetes and you name it, in the family. We are the opposite of natural selection where only the strong survive. We be surviving all maimed and shit.

Here's hoping you remain fine! I know you went through hell. Like most people, I've lost family to this horrific disease and I really detest people making money from by writing books claiming they'll give you the secret to remaining free of cancer your whole life, "if you just pay 24.95$ for my book!" They're just another form of snake oil salesmen. 

I don't think my MIL (the one who lived to be 87) ever ate a vegetable in her life, except for potatoes. Every time she and my FIL came over for dinner, I'd ask, "Do you like asparagus/broccoli/sweet potato (or whatever) and the answer was always, "I never had it."  She lived on fat meat, cake, and Pepsi. 

It's all luck and possibly an element of heredity, IMO.

Although I'm doing nothing for the 4th of July, technically I have tomorrow off from my day job but still gotta go to work for the weekend and my weekend job. Still I want what meager time off I have. I plan to kill many brain cells tonight because it's the only day/night I get to drink. I can sleep it off tomorrow before work and perhaps watch Stranger Things.

I saw "Yesterday", well, yeah yesterday and I thought I was very cute and charming. I liked it mucho.

My Boston terrorist buddy had to have surgery today to remove a mass from his neck; it had popped up seemingly overnight to the size of a marble, and has since nearly doubled in size over the past couple of weeks.  Won’t know what it was or whether it was malignant until the histopathology report comes back in a week or so.  The surgeon said she was able to remove the entire mass easily, though - it was pretty much free-floating under the skin, and not attached or adhered to anything - so hopefully whatever it was is in our rear window now.

His name is Sammi, and he’s ten and a half.  Daughter got him when he was a pup but her work schedule had him crated most of every day, so we adopted him when he was about 11 months old.  I didn’t even care much for the entire breed at the time, but he’s changed my outlook 180 degrees.  There’s lots of folks I could kill easier than I could let him get hurt - he’s My Buddy now.  🙂

I adopted my last dog when she was 9 or 10. A rescue person I knew called and asked if I could foster her. Someone had dumped her on a roadside and the old gal was not happy at the kennel and needed some peace and quiet. I sympathized with that and reluctantly agreed to take her temporarily. Yeah, right. No one wanted to adopt a senior dog, so I adopted her, thinking she wouldn't be around all that long, so I wouldn't get too attached. YEAH RIGHT.  I still miss her dearly.

I'm watching the Stranger Things 3 and I'm always baffled by any Mall shopping scenes in movies or tv. How do they pay for that shit? I would get it if it's Clueless and the Cher girl goes shopping, daddy's rich and she can pretty much do anything she wants. Normal kids aint got a credit card and/or jobs that pay for extensive clothes shopping. (These are not spoilers) So the girls go to the Mall and do the photo shoot, not cheap, shoe shopping (don't think they bought anything) but ended up with some kind of outfit. They didn't show El "blinking" the money and we know Hopper didn't give her any, she aint sposed to go to the mall. The other girl comes from an abusive household, step daddy didn't give her any money and quite frankly daddy wouldn't let her out and have that much freedom anyway. So it's bullshit but completely meaningless bullshit. Yes I gravitate to the inability to pay for outfits and not made up monsters and stuff. ha!

Heh, heh, I just came from the Stranger Things thread, having watched ep. 2 last night, and that was part of the discussion.

But the thing I was wondering about was the protesting against the mall. I went to the mall with girlfriends in high school but that was in the early 70's so malls had been around for a while in 1985.

Pardon my nostalgia but this whole conversation reminds me of the time I was 16 and the only girl with a driver's license so got elected to drive a bunch of teenage girls on the highway to the mall. These girls did not know the story of my accident since I was visiting Massachusetts from Michigan. I can't remember which parent allowed such an inexperienced driver to use their car. Ah, the good 'ole days. 😁

[nachomama]

We were pretty rural so we didn't get a mall til the mid 80's and even then it was 30 miles from us. We didn't "hang out at the mall" You maybe went once a month. sometimes see a movie but we weren't "regulars". another form of entertainment was "cruising the sonic" again we weren't regulars but you basically parked at sonic if you could get a space and people just drove around and around in circles. It was mostly to be seen. It was like the scene in Footloose when John Lithgo shows up with his daughter's sweater. I was never aware of a mall having "Jazzercise" that seemed way too open. 

[nachomama]

My weekend job is changing. >:( me no likey. I was doing overnight shifts and they were very slow (which, duh, if it's a good thing it can't last) so now I'll have to work during daylight hours and it'll be much busier. I work like 70 hours a week so I'm way too tired for this shit.

I just read this weekend there's a third installment of Walking Dead coming. WTF? Dude Fear the walking dead has been a piece of crap from the beginning and Walking Dead is, well, dead man walking.
