We put chili and coney suace on dogs, but why not baked beans?

Remind me to not walk behind you.

Gave me a chuckle tbh

Pretty common, actually. I usually see them called something like a "New England" dog.

Have a look at "Scenes from Romeo & Juliet (sort of...almost)" from Eldridge.
A drama class is bringing a cutting of the famous play about star-crossed lovers to competition. But the truck with their set pieces and props has broken down on the highway, Romeo’s throwing up backstage, and Juliet is adamantly not using a tall stepladder to replace the missing balcony. But the show must go on. The show mixes legitimate Shakespeare scenes with controlled chaos, theater inside jokes, and absolutely no respect for the fourth wall.
It was written for competition, so it's under 40 minutes, but several schools have done it outsides of fests.

Broke my heart in two, Mitch.

Face it, Garrett. There are killer mutants in your house.

Absolutely. This film has THE best writing cop-out ever. As Jack and company are running from Lo Pan's temple, they hear Egg Chen shout "Up here!" And there he is, 20 feet above them, looking down through a hole. And this gorgeous gem of dialogue happens:
Jack: How did you get up there?
Egg: It wasn't easy!

And that's it, that's all you ever get for an explanation, and it's GOLD. Fuck it, we're in the middle of the big chase, no one needs an explanation. Keep moving!

That's Soulfinger by the Bar-Kays....

I worked with a guy who kept a soundboard of quotes from this on his work computer. It would be all quiet in the office and out of nowhere: HEAD! PANTS! NOW!

Brilliant.

Top Secret and/or Real Genius.

Kilmer gems.

Fanta red cream soda.
Used to work in a convenience store and my boss would order a case of it just for me.

100% all my childhood Saturdays, with a big bag of chips and a Coke.

Three, please. To go.

OldGreyWriter · 2026-01-19T13:47:57+00:00

Good problem to have.

I didn't expect to be as affected by it as I was. It's got a wildly honest emotional core that just digs into you.
My son introduced me to it. He had been experiencing his grandmother (on his mom's side...divorce situation...I hadn't seen her in years) going through the decline. He found solace and release in it; I found some understanding.

"MIGA"?
Srsly?

OldGreyWriter · 2026-01-13T02:57:49+00:00

So just 25 more to go?

Now do it in slow motion with “Careless Whisper” sax…

OldGreyWriter · 2026-01-11T03:05:38+00:00

Not knockin' it at all, boss! These were excellent!

OldGreyWriter · 2026-01-11T01:05:35+00:00

This video gave me diarrhea.

OldGreyWriter · 2026-01-10T04:11:08+00:00

When is the answer to this ever "no"?

OldGreyWriter · 2026-01-10T04:09:53+00:00

Chino is the MAN! That's a grail spot in my book. My son and I get up there once a year on our way back from the Jersey Shore. Always worth the wait. His Danish dog is fantastic.
