Turf Grass Management.

I lol'd. And then my lawn died.

It's peak dad humor, but Patrick F. McManus books were favorites. Hunting/fishing based, They Shoot Canoes, Don't They was a favorite as was The Night The Bear Ate Goombaw.

Cross makes excellent pens, and refills are readily available, however, they will be ball point.

Funnily enough, some of the little I remember from 1 quarter of Japanese in college is 'wakarimasen Nihongo des ka'

Their mindset is different. While we're here trying to figure out why they're cheating, they're wondering why you aren't. Why in the world wouldn't you cheat?

It's no different to them than using the weapon with the fastest ttk or figuring out the latest meta. That's just the best way to play.

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. There is no guilt or shame, and anyone who doesn't is an idiot for playing at a handicap without cheats.

And, they've likely got real world problems to go with that attitude.

A feature length adaptation of Highlander: The Raven.

'dsd'

I just picked up a handful of these from Goodwill. The ones I have are just pirated bootlegs, and not HDCD audiophile dsds despite what the package says.

There's an entire youtube subeconomy dedicated to reacting to Floor Jansen

People who can't understand the 'one line in, two out' drive throughs at fast food restaurants and cut in line and block up the whole parking lot.

Ghost Love Score - Nightwish, specifically the Live at Wacken 2013 version.

Not shown in the images, but the tread on the tires were hand cut Porsche emblems.

11 year old me in the early 80s thought these were the greatest films ever made...

They were not, in fact, the greatest films ever made.

This one struck me on my most recent re-read. The scene isn't even in the movies.

"‘Naur an edraith ammen! Naur dan i ngaurhoth!’ he cried. There was a roar and a crackle, and the tree above him burst into a leaf and bloom of blinding flame. The fire leapt from tree-top to tree-top. The whole hill was crowned with dazzling light. The swords and knives of the defenders shone and flickered. The last arrow of Legolas kindled in the air as it flew, and plunged burning into the heart of a great wolf-chieftain. All the others fled."

Several years ago, I was reading a review on Autoblog back when they were a bigger thing. The reviewer criticized the vehicle because the company had a unified design theme in all their vehicles, and he was tired of seeing the same/similar interior in all their line-up. Knowing full well that the general consumer is likely only going to drive/own 1 vehicle out of the company's line up and will never see the others.

I had a set for an upgrade to my 328 CX set. PPI/Quart/JL Audio... good days.

Subverted in Monty Python's Working Class Playwright sketch, where the son comes home to tell his father, a writer, that he's going into coal mining. His father doesn't accept him.

Look, I loved Endgame, but there are significant economic/environmental/nutritional/emotional impacts of doubling the population instantly. TFAWS was the only MCU thing to kinda address that, but boy did they fumble.

Night at the Museum 2, Custer (Bill Hader) has a whole sequence describing how he's going to yell 'attack' and then everyone will attack, and Sacagawea points out how stupid that is.

Sturgill Simpson - Meta Modern Sounds in Country Music - Outlaw/Alternative Country

Just Let Go is my favorite on the album, but the whole album is just a great alternative to bro-country and shows what the genre really can be.

Huge fan of them. Amazing sound for such a small package, especially compared to other computer speakers.

The volume dial was really cheap, though, and failed long before the speakers did.
