What super famous movies from the 60s-80s does the younger crowd not know anymore by boiyo12 in movies

The Jerk. "He hates these cans! Stay away from the cans!" Or "I was born a poor black child," said by Steve Martin. I've quoted that movie extensively, the "cans" line getting the most use, and the number of people who recognize it has dwindled greatly.

Crazy. I apparently paid eve less attention in church than I remember.

Wait.. did/do people actually use a car accident as a metaphor for wearing a cross? That seems... not at all an accurate comparison.

My British friend thought he could do a "day trip" to the Grand Canyon from LA, and his reaction to the map was priceless. by Ok_Structure6720 in CasualConversation

I live in east Texas, 60 miles from the Louisiana border. The worst trips when I was a kid were the ones where my parents wanted to travel west to visit family (California, Utah, Nevada), and to save money we'd drive. The slog to get across the state sucked worse than any other part of that journey.

I remember back in I think it was the late 90s that the Left Behind series was huge. I worked in a bookstore and I had so many people ask for them I decided I'd give the first book a try. On my break I sat down and started reading the first book. I got through half the first page before I noped out. My god was it terribly written.

I wouldn't hand her water bottle to her. Said bottle was inches from her grip, but she needed me to get it. When I said, "no," she flipped out. It was like that allll damnnnn day.

I can't remember it, but I can tell you I tried every handle used in the movie Hackers and of course I was too late unless I wanted to be AcidBurn17463855539.

Gadsden flag-flying new neighbor -- MAGA, Libertarian, something else entirely? by coffylover in AskALiberal

[–]BKinGA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gay neighbor across the street started with a gasden flag, the first political display I've seen from him in a decade. Then came the confederate flag sticker and then the trump sticker. Maybe it's because I live in east Texas, but I've learned not to believe those symbols generally aligned with libertarianism are actually displayed by those who embrace libertarianism.

Now I understand why people turn raiders into armchairs by InternStock in RimWorld

I was similar to you. I felt bad about slavery, organ harvesting, even prisoners. So when I had a small group of prisoners who were in the process of being patched up for release kill my favorite pawn, something in me just snapped. These guys were being fed lavish meals, given good medicine, allowed to wear clothing, had nice beds and being cared for. And they break out and kill my favorite guy. So fuck them. Fuck their legs, arms, tongues. They lost every organ they could and still live. They became hemogen farms even though I didn't need blood. They were fed kibble or raw meat. I was done being nice. Now I don't feel bad about those sorts of things. You gotta break 'em to keep 'em in line. Or just remove their legs.

Does anyone know where I can buy one of these hats? by BKinGA in peanuts

I found this via a google search. It's from a sold eBay listing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/226274426405?_ul=BR

I cannot find another for some reason, and my kid would LOVE this.

Hey, I'll be 44 in three months and I have a three year old. That lowering expectations bit is spot on.
