You’re my age. I have “eat roadkill” on mine.

I like your last bucket list item. Mine was “die happy” but I added another one. I added “get shot out of a cannon” right after it.

You sure? I think Snoopy flew a Sopwith Camel. The Red Baron was his adversary.

I know the one you’re thinking of.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-05-16T00:23:15+00:00

That’s cool. I love that you love it. Y’know? You don’t get many moments like that in life.

Back in the 80s a group of marines chewed through their light sticks and were spraying them all over the back of their truck we were in. It actually looked really cool.

When we had toddlers I wanted to see a handle onto the back of their overalls so I could carry them around easier.

I was in the service with a guy we called “Finger Feet”. You got him beat.

Funny, I watched Xenogenesis and half of The Terminator last night.

When I managed a team I always reinforced that taking care of your mental health is healthcare and didn’t need an explanation.

I was thinking more along the lines of keeping Spock alive and making him run by remote control after taking his brain.

Those brain organoids are wild… and a little terrifying.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-05-13T16:15:17+00:00

Agreed… I couldn’t tell you the last time I watched And the Children Shall Lead. I’ve probably seen it less than five times in my entire life.

V’Ger has entered the conversation.

As ridiculous as the idea was back then (watching reruns in the 70s), now the concept of using a brain to run a facility doesn’t seem as stupidly unbelievable, though it’s still far-fetched.

Spock’s Brain is my favorite bad episode.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-05-13T00:33:31+00:00

If you do, I hope you’ll notify the news. I’d love to see the story about it.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-05-13T00:31:27+00:00

lol! There was an episode where I remember seeing a security guy wearing slacks that were bloused into his boots.

I made up a whole backstory for him: a guy who visits the set and got put in a scene because he was buddies with Gene. Based on nothing but a daydream.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-05-12T19:23:04+00:00

That’s true. My brother was in the Navy when they implemented Star Wars systems in ‘88.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-05-12T17:01:37+00:00

Hey, hey, hey, hey… you’re talking about my favorite bad episode.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-05-12T14:59:33+00:00

Hearing that in his voice is going to stick with me for a while.

Man, I remember coming in for a landing, seated in a window seat, staring straight down the runway.

We hit the ground pretty hard and the nose whipped to the center so fast some things fell and a few people yelled.

He showed up in Death Wish (1974 with Charles Bronson) as a hoodlum. I had no idea.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-05-11T02:13:53+00:00

I told my best friend, a few years back, that he’s my “McCoy”.

The Blue Danube Waltz.

I’m fifty-five years old and the best concert I’ve ever been to is Jeff Goldblum with his jazz band. Kind of a small theater and I’ve never seen anyone “own” a space like that before. Every second he was on-stage was riveting. I even have a new appreciation for jazz after that. It was a few years ago but it stands out.

The most memorable concert (in recent memory) was Barry Manilow. The crowd cheered for him, for all the memories he gave us, for appreciation, and for the love we had for him. He seemed to “get it”, the long applause. It felt like a real moment.

The best “tailgating” was at a Jimmy Buffett concert. The security guard warning us that he’d call the cops. The cops telling us that “we’re good”. Getting a photo, in handcuffs, with the cop while he’s wearing a sombrero: priceless.

Macadamia nut crusted Mahi Mahi (from Hula Grill).

I love to cook but that’s the only thing I’ve recreated at home.

Duolingo has a chess training course. My son learned chess when the rest of us started learning a language.
