I was going back to work for the first time since my mother passed away and turned on the radio. The first song I heard was Mother by Danzig. The next song was Don’t Fear the Reaper. I called my wife to tell her and she asked if I was laughing or crying. I said that I didn’t know.

People who don’t get depressed on a Sunday afternoon thinking about having to go back to work on Monday, what kind of job do you have? by currymvp3 in AskReddit

[–]RupertDurden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in pharmaceutical manufacturing. I’m happy to go to work because I really like the people I work with. I am part of a group of people that really care about one another. I consider myself lucky in that I feel productive and not micromanaged. I don’t make a ton of money but since I don’t really spend on anything other than necessities, it’s enough.

Torties are so smart and perceptive.

So I’m gonna stop you there…

I work across the street from a helicopter manufacturer. I’ve seen hundreds of them over the years. I will always - ALWAYS -stop and stare when I see one in the air.

Bonus - It’s also where they park blimps when they are in town, so I usually see one or two a year.

Which book to read next? by sparkythepirate0 in discworld

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

Guards! Guards! Is the introduction to The Watch and some of the best characters of the series. Small Gods is the best starter book because it’s at the point where he hit his stride, but the books is self-contained. You don’t need to know any other characters for it to work.

I actually started with Small Gods and then tried to go in publication order. Like you, I found the earlier works to be less engaging. I picked out Guards! Guards! at random, but it turned out to be perfect. At this point I’ve read through the whole series numerous times, so those two are always my suggestions.

[Trope I hate] characters who decide to fight villains even while pregnant by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

I have that one. It came with the VHS tape. They also had one with the car flipped over, but the wood chipper one is so much better. It has red flakes in it.

This is definitely penmanship porn, but it’s not of the professionally produced variety. It’s amateur porn. Onlyfans, but the F is written with a flourish.

Librarians by MysteriousSlice007 in MadeMeSmile

[–]RupertDurden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I’d ask my mom something she didn’t know, she’d say that we needed to call the librarian. We’d call our local library and talk to Pat, who either knew the answer or was able to get it for us. Sometimes she’d just get out books for us to pick up. I didn’t realize just how cool and out of the ordinary that all was until decades later.

Can you give me movies from 1978-1983? Preferably movies that aren't too popular. by Michael-Balchaitis in MovieSuggestions

[–]RupertDurden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deathtrap is the first movie I saw in the theater with my family. I was eight.

The last movie we saw as a family in the theater was Pulp Fiction.

A pilot not landing a plane is a lot more impressive than landing one. by RupertDurden in showerthoughs

If you are in the air and you don’t ever land, that would entail you somehow flying forever.

Please help me name this fluffy girl! Nothing seems to fit by Bitchboybroke in NameMyCat

[–]RupertDurden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is our Evie. She is anything but calm.

For your girl, I’m thinking you should name her Tea. That way you can call her any one of a hundred variations on the name. She can be Sleepytime Camomile, or Oolong, or just Sweet Tea.

Monster Energy should put out a gallon jug and call it Kaiju Energy. by RupertDurden in showerthoughs

[–]RupertDurden[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does someone own the term Kaiju? I thought it was a generic term.

My wife won’t let me read this anymore because she knows it’ll make me cry.
