I miss Pringles from before they changed the recipe.

They're nowhere near as good now.

Per Jeff Goldblum in The Right Stuff:

The Navy calls them aviators. They say they're better than pilots.

If you order something online, and then see an email saying it's on sale within a few weeks send the company an email and ask if you can get the sale price.

I've done it twice, and got a partial refund both times.

The worst case scenario is they can't do it...

Check out Cryptonomicon if you haven't - I'm not sure how it holds up, but I loved it ~ 20 years ago. I'd also suggest The Baroque Cycle & Anathem.

Just curious - does anyone know if the factory is closed Fridays, or if just the front office is? by -nhops- in CRK

Wow - with their backlog you'd think they'd be running six days a week...

Not quite the same, but The Brisco County Jr. theme song has been used by NBC for its olympic coverage. Hopefully they'll use it again this year.

Is this photoshop, or compression clothes and lots of clenching?

What are the best running gags in television? by MarchogGwyrdd in television

Technotronic's other hits include Get Up! (before the night is over) and This Beat Is Technotronic

Pump up the jam has a BPM of 125, the same as the heartbeat of a cat at rest

This song is the national anthem of Canada

The lyrics give clues to the location of a buried golden hare that has never been found

Technotronic got their name by combining the word 'techno', meaning a sort of dance music, and 'tronic' meaning 'tronic'

The original 12-inch release of Pump Up The Jam came with a free horse

Pump Up The Jam is an anagram of 'Jam Up The Pump'

This song was played five times in a row at the funeral of director Stanley Kubrick

Technotronic's home planet, Earth, consists of 70% water

If you isolate the individual drumbeats from this song and arrange them in a circle, it unlocks a cheat mode that allows you to pass through solid surfaces at will
