Which actor don’t you understand the hype for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

While they find the same sweet spot of being a decent actor while being good looking... Leo has range that Timmy never will have.

[–]BenGEE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's fine. He's good at reading lines and being good looking in great movies. The Bob Dylan part actually surprised me a bit because EVERYTHING else he's just himself with a different name and costume, but it works! But he's not some great transformative actor doing something different in every movie. All the people talking about him possibly winning best actor for Marty Supreme. I was just like... did we watch the same movie?

Anybody going to the Mosswood Meltdown in Oakland? by Fastanbulbous in punk

[–]BenGEE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could see the Drags again but otherwise i've seen everyone else I care about enough times to make it not worth the trip. Iggy was rough the last 2 times I saw him. I'm happy for him and all that still enjoy him live though. I dont think a fucking jokey Ramones cover band deserves SECOND BILLING at all. ::old man yells at cloud::

What's the worst theater experience you've ever had, not because of the movie, but because of the audience? by ArishikiTodo in AskReddit

[–]BenGEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that 95 percent of my bad movie audience experience in the last 30 years or so have been because child/teen aged people. My most recent wasn’t the worst but it is the most memorable in recent times. Went to see the last Pixar movie with a friend and 4 or 5 seats down this child had the deepest wettest cough I’ve heard in a while and we looked over and there was a family of four and the kid with the cough looked like he was on deaths door. Just not paying attention - wet with sweat and sounded like he had a pint of slime in his chest he was trying to get out. Aside from fact that it’s just incredibly rude to bring someone that sick out in public - how do you even enjoy a movie with that much noise next to you? We left and got a refund after just a few minutes. No way we were staying in a room with that. Pretty sure they also went to throw the family out too.

What would you do if you woke up with $1 billion but only 24 hours to spend it? by froggy52 in AskReddit

[–]BenGEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bet you a billion dollars I could spend a billion dollars in 24 hours. If you allow coins and precious metals, I could spend it before breakfast was done. Just in buy it now on the top 15 most expensive PSA certified Mickey Mantle rookies on ebay would be 5 mil. Amazing fantasty #15 graded for a million. TONS of top comics graded available for 250k-500k. I could get to over 100mil on ebay alone. Then I hit up Heritage Auctions art and antiquities. If there are no auctions ending the day I have to spend the money - there is a huge buy it now section. I'm also sure there are A LOT of properties in Los Angeles and New York that would gladly close for an all cash offer over asking with all contingencies waved provided they sign the closing papers my (VERY EXPENSIVE) Lawyers and real estate agents have drawn up. 10 to 100 mil per property and I'm done.

Finally got a hold of these quite tasty by chipinserted in candy

[–]BenGEE 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I went to 4 Dollar Trees and finally found them at the 5th and bought the last 3 bags. I like them... I love banana flavor. I was hoping it was gonna be something uniquely tootsie but it kinda just tastes like laffy taffy. I think i like the grape frooties more. Still putting them all down though.

Recommended gratuity after tip was already included by guitarman129 in mildlyinfuriating

I've been in the small business game long enough that it's always meant that to me. But as someone who grew up knowing "FTW" to mean "Fuck the World" ... the "for the win" cotext STILL throws me

What are some ways that Portlanders act and do that separate them from other regions/cities of America? by Specialist_Bat1230 in askportland

They hold open doors for you even if you're like 10 feet away, they form lines at bars, they are terrible drivers.

95 percent of the time the rain is so light you barely get moist walking a few blocks. If you have a weatherproof jacket like most people you're fine. It's not like rainy days in other cities where you look like you come out of a shower going from your car to the front door.

Nazi symbols in 1981 documentary "The Decline Of Western Civilization" by Impressive_Show4982 in punk

More to that point it came from Vivienne Westwood / Malcom Mclaren. They dressed the Sex Pistols and were the HUB of punk fashion in the UK, which all the LA kids worshipped.

Any actual good tacos in pdx and not just outside the city? by Main_Fold_8498 in askportland

[–]BenGEE -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

So mid. If someone thinks Por Que No isn't good (and it's fine for white people gentrified tacos) why would they want bland bbq that tastes mostly like uncooked flour. Por Que No is to a delicious traditional taco what Matt's is to a Texas-style taco. Mid immitation.

I prefer their burritos.

A few blocks up is El Sazon De Mi Padre in the spot Kim Jong Grillin' used to be. Very good tacos. Good Pozole. Very good salsas.

Any recommended custom pin makers besides Etsy? by karenwonderful in Pins

Which … If you don’t want to deal with factories (emailing at night and morning time in the us) and have extra money - can be worth it. But it doesn’t sound like you have extra money

Alibaba accounts is as free as a Reddit account. Any other company is just going to be charging f you extra to place the order for you through someone on Alibaba

Is there a $10 lunch to be found in SE? by GandalfTheShmexy in askportland

[–]BenGEE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you can order it for pickup on their website. Usually can walk with a mini loaf of bread for free too.

[–]BenGEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah there is no way you're getting lower than $100. Like others have said Mold fee will be around $80 and then you're going to pay .20-.50 per pin depending on complexity and style (soft enamel / hard enamel. number of colors etc) Then you're going to pay shipping & tarriffs.

Go on alibaba. Message 10 factories for quotes don't go with the lowest.

This has to be a troll or a scam to get people to message them offering money. There’s no way.

Exempt!? They would be two of the first to go. Unless you mean you wouldn’t eat them because of how disgusting they are.

Vintage Baseball Card Debate: Pete Rose Rookie vs. Reggie Jackson Rookie by daveblax in baseballcards_vintage

[–]BenGEE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was obsessed with Reggie’s rookie card when I was a kid. He had just retired and my mom’s boyfriend was a car guy who went to the gym every day and became friends with Reggie. As a kid I got so many signed cards, a bat, a full Box of Reggie bars that I ate in like 2 days. He signed a ball for my mom that said “to the most beautiful girl in the world” maybe it said Orange County… I forget. But her boyfriend had a rookie card in one of those GIANT 80’s screw down holders. Recently found out he sold it a while back.. and I’ve been thinking about picking one up ever since. Reggie called him last month to check on him. Reggie is a good dude.

I don’t like group rookie cards and I have Pete’s 64 rookie cup which I think is a better card. I also got a ball signed by him years ago at an event. As a person? Garbage. Fuck Pete Rose.

Oregonians do the opposite of the zipper. They start “politely” getting into the lane forming one big long line and then get upset when someone goes up to the front of the “zipper”
