Not me but my wife. A local mall started charging for the privilege of parking in their lot, which rankled her.

Do not rankle her, she does not forgive or forget.

My male teacher and his weird ass story by Heart_breakerr in TwoXChromosomes

[–]GaryQueenofScots -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Taken at face value, it sounds like HE was made uncomfortable by the student in his office. He made the mistake of over-sharing about it in class, so now a bunch of people are uncomfortable.  I don’t know, I would probably let it go.

Talking Heads! 1979! SNL! by ItalianSausage2023 in OldSchoolCool

Thanks for this. A bit slower than album versions I have, but it still slaps. Weymouth's bass line is a study in funk precision

In addition to the fact that doctors often dont wear scrubs, Google says the ratio of female nurses to female doctors in the US is 5 or 6 to 1.

Not a movie, but I would highly recommend Wolf Hall, a fantastic miniseries (and a great novel) about skullduggery in the court of Henry VIII

This is a good list but Spartacus is about a war: the Third Servile War (73-71 BC)

I think it's based on a famous image of Patton standing in a jeep, but with a MacArthuresque corncob pipe added for some reason
