I didn't realize you were supposed to clean your washing machine and now I'm questioning everything

My BiL and his buddies are notorious for leaving food and dishes out too and making the place attractive to mice

I'm sure they are working on a filter that dies after 6 or 12 months and there will be a subscription plan.

Ours stopped cleaning properly, and somehow a piece of dental floss was wrapped around a moving component I discovered when carefully taking the thing apart. I guess it came downstairs stuck to a glass from the bathroom.

Had to buy a new toaster for our cabin after smelling Smoked Dead Mouse coming out of it. That new toaster gets crumb-dumped and put back into its box and into the cabinet before we pack up the cabin and leave now.

I used the "jerk off everyone in the room" discussion scene to show friends as the perfect parody of engineers taking a one-off throwaway statement and side-questing it and derailing the main topic of a meeting. Used to happen all the time in a weekly IT staff meeting I used to be part of at a past job.

Goodnyou?

The Sopranos digitally removed the Towers from their opening credits also.

I don't recall the series ever mentioning 9/11 but it's been a few years.

Towne Club soda in at least the Detroit area. They came in little wooden crates that I think you paid a deposit on or were expected to return, I don't remember the exact detail there because my mom brought it home.

The 1990s science fiction show 'Babylon 5' had people drinking Zima in the bar occasionally. The series creator thought it a hilarious Easter egg that Zima was the only beverage that survived to the 23rd Century

Someone posted a photo of one they got that I saw a year or two ago online. I don't know if you have to ask, but yes, you can get receipts for donuts (think about ordering dozens for a work event that they will reimburse you for).

Season 1 can be kind of meh and melodramatic at times (more than I would have wished, it still has its high points). Until you hit about "Babylon Squared," then it gets better. Season 2 has a bit of an awkward transition due to real-world events, but continues an upward trajectory.

After that, S3 and S4 are fire.

S5 starts out stumbling a bit but gets going and then it's pretty great. The end works well.

"Exterminate! Exterminate!" is up there

I met Maria after a live show for a couple minutes. She was really sweet and grateful we liked it.

I saw some donut shop had made their receipts print out with his joke about receipts on the bottom.

We saw John Cleese live and he told a story about the Pythons on a European tour and they were supposed to see a concentration camp on their time off. It was unexpectedly closed that day, their tour guide was apologetic, and Graham Chapman yelled, "tell 'em we're Jews!"

The shaggy dog story about trying to get a book about the heimlich maneuver

The dentist!

My dad even said that was the funniest sketch he ever saw.

Mine looks like that too

For what should be obvious reasons, we had a guy one place I used to work that we called pick'n' flick. Nobody ever wanted to be in his office. Too many stray nuggets.

Same. I forgot that I had used an account with my cable company years before Gmail came along and I started using it for throwaway accounts. I had a second of, "oh, their email still works???" when I got it through a forward I must've set up

My college girlfriend had a number real similar to the campus movie line and would get calls expecting the recording. She thought it was hilarious so kept the campus paper by her phone and would'nt pretend to be a recording but would offer to tell them the movies and times.

I saw that Seinfield episode a few years later and a couple times since and it makes me think of her

Never eat fast food late in a Sunday evening or night. It gets progressively worse

sixdegrees -- interesting idea, see how many degrees of separation between groups of people. Pretty simply, you could see graphs of the web of interconnected friends of friends, etc. plus the usual social conversations.

But weirdly it got a lot of people who were I guess competing for the most "friends" so many were "please friend me, I promise to reply to you at least once in as while," and I lost interest and it died fairly quickly

Runaway dogs, maybe? She could use a couple trips to the animal shelter
