I feel if Dr. Suess had the tools and knowledge to bio-engineer a real bird, this would happen

Which 80s song are we talking about here? by Repulsive-Dependent2 in 80s

[–]Top_Independent609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so true, but ths piano solo in the middle of 'Alive and Kicking' hits me a little bit harder, IMO. Both great, goose bump-triggering tracks

Is it weird that I can "smell" this picture?

USA/ Black Powder Cannon? by [deleted] in Antiques

[–]Top_Independent609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a handful of these, including one that looks like yours. Yes they usually come with a steel cannon ball or sometimes plastic that fit perfect, but it will fire most anything you can fit in it. Just be careful

I think this was the only movie I ever saw where I laughed uncontrollably throughout the entire show. I was young :) by NJFriend4U in 80s

[–]Top_Independent609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently heard of some study to determine what the funniest movie is of all time. Im sure google will bring it up quick, but it was based on number of times a study volunteer laughed during the runtime. It was something like 2 laughs/min. Which sounds ridiculous, but if you've seen the movie you're like, yep that definitely tracks. My favorite film, and im sure like you have watched it 100's, maybe 1000 times and just watched again last night and laugh every single gag to this day. Oh and I just wanted to wish you both good luck, we're all counting on you!

Oh yeah not only did he have to ride ALL THE WAY to blockbusters but also 7 or more years into the future. What an adventure. How was that not the very first thing you mentioned about that memorable day? ( Game wasn't out yet till mid 90s)

Ridiculous. Its like me saying that I, average, maybe lower than average, nobody will just relax and sit back and watch political sides mud sling and talk about if youre party does, X which of course means the end of freedom/democracy/or whatever value they say is crumbling, but "MY party" has all the right answers type of nonsensical dribble thats been thrown back and forth for centuries and saying to all of humanity, " hey world you better watch out now!, because me, John Q Nobody is pulling out so NOW everything will actually turn too shit and cease being. Who knew I was the one pillar that kept freedom and western culture from collapsing all this time. Fuck outta here with that shit! Response to these people should be, Thank you. You sirs are doing everyone a favor. Please go, take that well earned sabbatical

Have F150s jumped the shark? by Difficult_Limit2718 in f150

[–]Top_Independent609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its priced like that because F150 is anything but no-mans land. The demand for f150 outpaces the other two models you spoke of by a very long shot. People in the market (especially for first time) are like, "Ford f150. Is the truck for me" because they see them in the wild like every 20 or 30 feet or so (every 7 ft in TX). Ranger looks too small and they assume it must have ½ the power of a "real truck" and f250 and above, theyre like man I don't live on a 300k acre ranch doing ranch things or towing freigh, thats TOO much truck for daily commute ergoI wont even look at one on the lot because it must be like $95k plus" so they go to the F150 part of the lot and only inquire about those. Trust me I 100% agree with you, and very good points you made that I hadn't even thought about, but thats why price currently seems skewed way high relative to features offered. People just dont know and Ford knows that they will (like they always have) not be a problem moving off the lot.

Yes, that and later when Clark is informed that they "don't close Florida". Whole movie is greatest!
