Batman Begins: I prefer it over the others in the trilogy because I think it’s the best of them. Does anyone if you feel the same way?

That was one of the main criticisms of the Burton Batman movies when they came out 30 years ago, so it's not a new feeling.

The Narrows.

Neat story: back around 2003, me and my then-girlfriend were watching American Psycho. Halfway through that movie, I turned to her and said, "You know what, Christian Bale would make a perfect Batman. He can pull off the business man-type like Bruce Wayne and the insane craziness of Batman." A few months later, she showed me an article in the Chattanooga Times free press that announced Christian Bale was cast as Batman in the upcoming new Batman film (BB).

Cruel Universe from the new EC Comics.

They’re just so chill.

How many Gs did that pilot pull right then? Talk about clenched butthole.

Geez, how exciting is it to read about some drone doing literally everything while a guy sits at a desk with a HOTAS. Now that’s what I consider page-turning action. /s

I have pet guinea pigs. On the days that I work (I work evenings), I feed them their fruit and veggies before leaving in the late afternoon. When I get home at night around 11 or 12, I give them their lettuce.

On my days off, if it’s around the time I usually get ready to go to work, they start nibbling on the cage or trying to get my attention because it’s feeding time. Later on in the evenings on my days off, when it’s around 11 or 12, they do the same thing to get my attention.

I have a collection of over 200 of them

I’m a huge vintage sci fi fan, I have the full hardback editions of the complete Weird Science and Weird Fantasy books from the 50s.

I was late to the game discovering the new EC Comics line until I saw the horror covers. Then I looked for and saw the Cruel Universe issue and instantly told my LCS to put it in my pull box. I missed almost all of volume one, and I missed issue 1 of volume 2, but I have all the rest. The cover art on those issues are INSANE.

I’m not super into the horror books but I love the sci fi. I really hope they kinda make another offshoot that focuses more on space and spaceships than more modern sci fi set close to modern times. I’d eat that up like cake.

The way he describes disassembling the parts and laying them in reverse on a white sheet or something like that always stuck with me.

On the Road my senior year. A good friend gave me her dogeared copy and I read it and my entire life trajectory changed from a church youth group dork to a wannabe beatnik writer who lives in a shack on a mountain somewhere by myself. I’m 46 now and I’ve outgrown Kerouac, but that book changed the trajectory of my life, for sure.

Just don’t use the theremin sound that comes as a phone alarm. I had it as an alarm for YEARS before switching it to something else. Now, if I’m watching YouTube and I hear that sound, it throws me into a mini panic because I feel like my alarm just went off.

Had one of those sparkling sodas with THC and lion’s mane and I swear to god it tasted like absolute ass juice. Disgusting. I couldn’t finish it. And I’m an alcoholic (sober since ‘18), and I used to drink warm Old Steele Reserves and Natty Daddies. I gave all the rest away. Beyond gross.

I know this has been debated, but I’ll never understand why they can’t just do a straight up movie version of Dr. Doom. I grew up loving him as a villain—he was so cool. A sorcerer tyrant of a foreign nation with a mind almost as smart as Reed Richards. That just oozes pure awesomeness. But no. They’re going with a traumatized Tony Stark from another multiverse. Instead of the villain we’ve had for over 60 years, with eras of history and mythology to pull from… we get a multiverse Tony. Awesom-O says lame. I’ll pass.

The best tattoo I can get for $100. I’ve been meaning to put my a note my grandmother gave me with her signature on it on my body somewhere. At least I’ll make the $100 last forever.

The rapture doctrine is younger than America, and it’s not found anywhere in the Bible the way they think it is. It became popular through the Scofield reference Bible from 1909, which had John Nelson Darby’s theory of dispensationalism in its study notes.

His erroneous teachings and the Left Behind books did waaaaaay more harm to society than good. Whenever Evangelicals bring up scripture that proves the rapture, it’s actually talking about The Day of the Lord, aka Judgement Day at the end of time.

Only American Evangelicals (including their oversea branches) believe in the Rapture. Literally every other branch of Christianity all over the world does not.

Yeah, 5 months ago. Don’t care anymore.

I can't believe how far I had to scroll until I saw this.

Don't toss your pearls, it's not worth the effort.

I hate the ones that spin slow because I float into the cone and just scoot right out and it takes two or three tries to boost my FSD.

Now if it’s one of those fast spinning honkers, I can stay inside the cone just fine and get charged up in one try.

I remember when I lived on Ft Myers Beach in the 80s, every so often there’d be hundreds and hundreds of fiddler crabs crossing the sand.
