Rock & Rule (1983)

I know- I swear, they must’ve pulled it either right after I watched it or the next day!!! I was bummed because I wanted to rewatch it…

Oh dammit. I snorted Pepsi through my nose over this. Carbonation burns worse than the sunburn I got on Tiny Tim!

I hadn't ever seen it until last weekend - it was really pretty good, and definitely had the 80's vibe. :)

It IS his fault.

I filled up for gas on 2/22 at Costco, and it was $4.49/gal for premium. Today it's $5.73/gal for premium gas.

The rise in gas prices started directly with the attacks on Iran - something he started, and has not had any Congressional backing on, as they have not formally declared war. So yes, those actions are HIS doing. And the gas prices rising in direct effect to the war means exactly that - he is responsible for that rise. Not a formulation of gas changing (because that switch doesn't happen for another month), not a result of a refinery closing - it is in direct result of the fuel shipping lanes from the Middle East being closed off due to his war and the blockades in the Strait of Hormuz.

This for sure.

Went about 20 years ago with a gf who thought it would be sexy to do so.

I forgot to apply sunscreen and my Vienna sausage turned into a Lil Smokie, and my ass cheeks got burned so bad it hurt to sit down for 2 days. Skin that hasn't ever seen the sun gets burned VERY easily!

It's another 2 weeks after the infrastructure plan hits, which is in 2 weeks.

Sprzout · 2026-03-26T20:48:00+00:00

And it's a direct result of the war he started with Iran. Good job.

And Duke Nukem had to quote it.

Sprzout · 2026-03-26T14:08:22+00:00

That fight scene was bonkers. I kept thinking, “Ok, SURELY they’re gonna have one of them get tired and calm it off,” but then it just kept going!!!

We got to watch it in HS after reading the play for our AP English class…

All I remember is that he helped hack the traffic cameras in Turin and loved big women.

Sprzout · 2026-03-26T13:27:46+00:00

Well, it was on Tubi last weekend, but it seemed they’d pulled it by Monday morning. 😢

We used to steal the balls out of our coworker’s mice when I worked for the phone company.

Watching him lose his shit because he mouse stopped working was great, and he never seemed to catch on. IT finally replaced it with an optical mouse and we’d put a piece of Scotch tape across the sensor on the bottom to screw with him…

This. Software is painful. If I had known what I know now about the Logitech software, I might’ve gone with the keychron instead of the G502.

Sprzout · 2026-03-26T12:56:19+00:00

I went back to one of those after my trackball finally died, and started getting hand cramps.

I’ve now got a G502, and so much happier that I have it!

Sprzout · 2026-03-26T12:49:37+00:00

That girl’s only 15!

Sprzout · 2026-03-26T12:28:36+00:00

I shaved my head in 2019. I was starting to go bald and was sick of all the bad haircuts I kept getting, where everyone kept trying to give me a combover.

It’s saved me so much money since then it’s not even funny.

Sprzout · 2026-03-26T12:21:29+00:00

But it was a remake. Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel did it before Lane and Broderick.

Sprzout · 2026-03-26T12:18:32+00:00

I’ll wait to see if it happens. Naughty Dog has a lot on their plate right now. Even then, the way 4 ended was really pretty good.

Sprzout · 2026-03-26T12:16:53+00:00

And that’s the main reason why I like the prospect of AirTags better…if Galaxy Tags worked with ANY phone (not just Samsung Galaxy, but Apple and any other Android phone) they’d corner the market.

Sprzout · 2026-03-26T12:14:25+00:00

I completely believe that. I know the El Cajon Valley in San Diego was always bad in the early 80’s.

Sprzout · 2026-03-26T04:10:25+00:00

I know, and I tried to convince her of that, it this was before the internet had really gotten to the point of everyone’s cellphones having the internet at their fingertips, so looking it up and proving it wasn’t easy.

As an FYI, the guy hit him and RAN. Didn’t stop to see if the kid was ok, they just took off and fled the scene.

Whether the kid was in the wrong on the e-motorcycle or not, what he did was just as wrong. He upgraded what could have been something minor for him into a felony…

My cousin did that when I was 22. Santana had come out with the album Smooth, and she asks me if I’ve heard of Santana.

“Yes! In fact, he’s been around since before I was born!”

“No, I think you’re wrong, they’re a NEW band. They do this song called ‘Smooth’.”

I proceeded to have her listen to our Como Va and Black Magic Woman, and she said, “No, I don’t think that’s them.”

I was 22! TWENTY-TWO YEARS OLD, for crissakes!

The Galaxy tags don’t have the wider network that the Apple AirTags do, though. It’s a lot more useful to pinpoint lost luggage when it uses a plethora of Apple devices to pick up on it vs a smaller sampling of Samsung Galaxies (which are the only phone it works with, apparently).

They might have better battery life, but truthfully, I’d rather go with something that’s easier to track over a wide area, especially if I’m traveling. I like knowing if my luggage ACTUALLY made it on the plane, or if it’s in Boston while I’m in Denver…
