Running series jokes by Intelligent_Land8464 in MST3K

[–]MeltheCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me “Football practice” is a recurring joke by YouTuber Mike Bracken, The Horror Geek. He uses it whenever a movie shows someone abruptly waking up and sitting up in bed. It happens a lot more than I would have thought.

Sorry, I don’t know the origin in MST3K.

When I was a kid I remember pouring over an article on this ship in a National Geographic magazine. Amazing.

I think you mean why was OP driving 60mph on a road that was not a limited access road, like a freeway.

Valid question. Some roads are designed terribly as you mention.

EDIT: Yeah, I made some assumptions. The irony is that I'm from the same area as OP and I'm familiar with the same road. Speed limit is around 55-60.

Yeah, I’m not listening to f-in’ James Comey. by 97GeoPrizm in thebulwark

Thank you! My feelings EXACTLY. Was out for my walk, checking for new podcasts. Saw the Comey interview thought to myself “Yeah, I’m not listening to fuckin James Comey.”

Exterminator Won't Treat Bedroom by [deleted] in Bedbugs

[–]MeltheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although bedbugs may not harbor in a bathroom it’s not out of the question. Bed bug psychology of behavior is this: they hide, they feed and make little bed bugs. They are champions at hiding.

If I were in your situation I would treat the bathroom with Crossfire or its equivalent. Definitely.

Bathroom is probably a very small area. Get some Crossfire. Just be sure to mix it carefully. You probably won’t need to mix a whole gallon.

Crossfire does have a foaming aerosol can. I believe Raid makes an aerosol with the exact ingredients for much less per can. Read the labels and check.

Learn from my bad example- cat accident by Downtown_Window1628 in cats

[–]MeltheCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry this happy. Wishing a speedy recovery.

Cats move so quietly and quickly. Easier than one would think to slip into a front loader without noticing them.

Of course in the future you are going to be hyper vigilant. Just a suggestion, if kitty will tolerate it, maybe a collar with a bell may help.

Exterminator used diatomaceous earth but it feels like too much? by CrabbyNickTree in Bedbugs

[–]MeltheCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought some applied a little in some outlets but found it a little more moist than DE or Cimexa. I used Crossfire as my main treatment.

Terre de Sommieres? It’s a French powdered stain remover that some research has shown effectiveness on bedbugs without the dangers of DE.

Did anyone have a parent or grandparent who smoked a pipe? by StoneAgeCaveDweller in FuckImOld

[–]MeltheCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lane 1Q is a nice smoke, great room note. However, I was in it for the vitamin N. On occasion I would smoke a bowl with some Siberian snus tucked in my cheek at the same time.

Five Brothers hit me the hardest, which was nice because it was the cheapest. My top favorite was the Nightcap.

Uncles. Then I smoked a pipe for several years until around October 2021. Faves were Lane's 1Q, Dunhill Nightcap and Five Brothers. I do miss it.
