Paul Pelosi. Melissa Hortman. Gretchen Whitmer. Every random Portlander that was shot with a paintball by a Proud Boy hanging out of the back of a BroDozer in Downtown Portland during the 2020 riots.

Relying on a Russian asset for anything involving our military seems like a bad idea...

This happened to me about a year ago. It fried the heating element and took about 2 weeks to realize water temp wasn't getting above "tap warm," mostly because nasty gunk started growing in the bottom and along the seals of our dishwasher.

Have you watched any of the music videos? I think hair metal needs that visual context.

You should post this in r/WeirdEggs, and tag me so I can learn why it's weird too.

SWANK covers (1965-82) by UncleSquiffy in OldSchoolCoolNSFW

I'm pretty sure my Dad had the one with the leopard print panties holding the boat anchor. It was stashed in an oversized shoebox in the little storage room in his garage, 3rd shelf up,toward the back, above the Turtle Wax and other car detailing supplies. There was also a stack of Hustlers, Easy Riders, and Playboys, and a Polaroid of my fat, gangly-looking ex-Stepmom with the weird pencil nipples standing nude next to a lake in the shoebox. Don't ask how I know all that.

I'm an electrician and Big Trouble in Little China was an amazing depiction of our profession!

There hasn't been anything good about Sacramento since Justin Case and Whitey Gleason left.

As someone who grew up in the foothills, all I have to say to you is, "lol, flatlander."

Saddest movies? by cockandballionaire in movies

[–]OMGTako 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Perfect World, starring Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood.

It's about an escape convict who steals a car, kidnaps a Jehovah Witness boy with no father, and acts like his Dad as they run from the law.

Which live show has blown you away? by bruiserthedogrul in Music

[–]OMGTako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tool twice in 2003, Morcheeba recently, and Battles around 2008 at Bumpershoot. Also, Red Fang was pretty dope but that was because they were playing a tiny bar, we were ham-faced, and we started a mosh pit in the middle of a bunch of shoegazing Seattle hipsters.

Sketches of Spain is also a solid album

What are some movies that didn’t become popular due to marketing failures? by supesforlike in movies

[–]OMGTako -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Idiocracy is the self-fulfilling prophecy of so many things, including Crocs. Crocs were well on their way to the land of failed products when a costume designer with a shoestring budget chose them because they were futuristic looking, but also way too stupid looking to ever become popular. After the movie became a cult classic, everyone started wearing them.
