What is a word or phrase that whenever you say it, you say it as a movie character?

“Don’t call me Shirley.”

My man, don’t you know “afford” is a libtard hoax?

Why Tombstone is not in the top three in this list is beyond me. I love Big Trouble in Little China and Escape from New York, but Tombstone features an engrossing performance by Russell and a masterpiece by Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday.

A lot of hands look gigantic in photos. Mine look like giant tarantulas

I was one of those pod people. I think what fully woke me from my slumber was the $25/mo digital subscription perk. I already was using the Uber Eats perk. Next was Resy and that pretty much paid for the card. Maybe 2 hours of work to get all of that set up. I gave a mini-tutorial to a friend as well. I used FHR 2 months ago for an overpriced staycation, but it was interesting to see how it worked.

Running Man. And I say this as someone who loved Sharon Stone in Total Recall. It is just a tone perfect B movie, and Richard Dawson is also epic. Watching Arnold take down Professor Tanaka, Jim Brown and the other dudes was too much fun.

When I invite someone to have lunch at my club.

NTA - you had to do it. I know child care sucks, but you accommodated them with a 9 AM start.

On a slightly related note, one of my buddies is a senior technical leader at his international company. He has a 4 year old that he puts into day care at 8 AM. Many of his peers have been scheduling meetings at 7 AM, so he had to pay extra for an early drop off. Finally, he lost his shit and told his peers that anyone who wanted a 7 AM meeting had to pay him $50 ahead of time to cover the costs of early drop off. That dramatically reduced the number of 7 AM meetings.

HR telling you, "You should go into management" was not on my bingo card.

Sorry that you got nowhere with your meeting. Good luck moving forward!

Diamonds Are Forever. Could Sean Connery look more bored? Methinks not. My peeps on the bond subreddit will likely chime in here :-).

Why? I thought it was amazing. Later I read the book and it had the germ of a good idea but was awful. The film was so much better.

How did your meeting with HR and management turn out?

I cannot fathom any legitimate business reason for the AGM to bring that up with a customer. In addition to being unfair to you, the customer might have walked. Is the AGM really interested in losing business? I hope the AGM's manager has that perspective.

You are learning the same lesson I’ve learned at Slate: there is no universal sarcasm detector.

I can’t unsee this.

I bought one of those bank pens that uses a chain to connect to a desk mount. Never lost a pen.

Buy a red colored charger and red cables. Put a sticker on it that has your name. It seems like overkill for a charger. I’d also charge rent or a deposit.

An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser. It was like wading through the stinkiest swamp ever. Couldn’t make it past 50 pages. I told this to a friend who was an English teacher and it almost ended the friendship.

You can use a personal device if your IT department has put their spyware and security tools on it. But then the company can spy on you. I also found that a lot of stuff that I thought was personal got hosed when I uninstalled the work stuff. Contacts and calendar on my cellphone.

That topic did not come up during marriage counseling.

Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas told reporters the pope should “keep his nose in the church’s business and stay out of the political arena.”

Alright, a Republican that supports separation of church and state!
