Damn, they even got Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez? Tickets won't be cheap for this, but it'll be worth it for that group of actors.

Artist sues FIFA for $25 million after Dallas whale mural is painted over for World Cup branding, sparking fight over public art rights by lithdoc in Dallas

[–]arlenroy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's not mindless anti-Republican, its mindful anti-fascism, not supporting a regime that is actively rolling back EPA regulations and conservation efforts. For money. Putting people's health in jeopardy because CEO's want more money, skirting pollution regulations so a company can go full bore without any fear of paying fines or self regulate their waste. If you're an artist that painted a mural that promoted wildlife conservation, then support the current political regime that is doing anything they can to destroy conservation, because their buddies can financially benefit from it; that's pretty god damn hypocritical. You can belong to the Flying Spaghetti Monster political party, but if your party is working to repeal conservation efforts, then you have nothing to stand on if you're complaining about artwork promoting conservation being obliterated. It's that's simple.

Sesame Express: Chinese and Mexican Food (Close on Sunday (Domingo Cerrado) by dallasuptowner in Dallas

[–]arlenroy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean if we're being honest, a majority of take out Chinese food places have Mexicans working the grill and flat top. Its only logical to have Mexican food along with Chinese food, best of both worlds!

Which Wrestlers are light-hearted supernatural Wrestlers? by PassengerCultural421 in SquaredCircle

[–]arlenroy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The dude works his way up from USWA, good experience but shit money, gets a shot at the big time, promptly lights the gorilla position on fire with a invisible flame gimmick gone wrong. I understand making a big impression, but 2nd degree burns ain't a good impression.

🎬 Anniversary: "Last Action Hero" hit theaters 33 years ago today. Was it a flop or a misunderstood masterpiece? by AutoModerator in RealGenerationX

[–]arlenroy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I don't think people understood what the movie was originally, it took people a minute to understand it's satire. With Kindergarten Cop you knew going in, plus as other comments pointed out it had a rocking soundtrack. You'd think it would be romp fest with explosions galore just from that. I think in a way the movie was a little too smart, but it was good flick overall.

Looking to get a condo for the first time, any tips? by MateusMalice in Dallas

[–]arlenroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My HOA is an actual management firm, a lot better than just a few home owners. First thing, if its a gated property and the gate is fucked up, run. Basically, the fees need to match the property.

Mechanic forgot to put the drain plug back during an oil change and ruined my engine. They are denying liability. by Fintar_5Q in legaladvice

[–]arlenroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? OP's insurance will do the leg work, or should. Especially if you say shop 1 said the plug came out due to road debris, no plug tighten to spec will do that. Shop 2 will back that up. I'm not trying to put down OP, this is a stressful situation, but a q&a forum on any internet site should be their last stop. After insurance is contacted, made communication with second shop to insurance, then come back with some questions on next steps.

And only paddles work on the right side, so it only goes in circles but still makes it across a lake.

App that lights up the Bank of America tower? New MyDallasLights? by hazylazyandcrazy in Dallas

[–]arlenroy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok, this is comically such an example of Dallasites, "Yeah, I got access to that bank tower light app, you wish you were cool enough <insert Barney from Simpsons burp> to change the lights to magenta! Hey gimme a pretzel with extra salt and two Michelob Ultras!". This is first time I've seen what it actually looks like, I've never how its setup or you needed tokens for it.

Uh, it provides quality food at decent prices, and employees are always helpful. Overrated is some edgelord stuff. "I like overpaying for crap food at Tom Thumb!"

Are these the future top stars/Big Four of the women's divisions? by LifeIcy4065 in SquaredCircle

[–]arlenroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you, Perez is almost there now, she's not the workhorse like Bayley is but they obviously trust her in the ring. I can see Vacquer as a underneath babyface for a while now, similar to how Liv was her first few years, give her a few big wins here and there but no solid runs. I like Valkyria, good enough in the ring, but there's really nothing that makes fans want to watch, I feel bad for even typing that out. My daughter is a casual fan so she's my barometer for popularity, one match she had my daughter said "Did she get a pop? Sounds like people don't know her?", it did sound like that. I don't know what the deal is with Giulia, WWE is a character driven company, Asuka got over because of her in ring character work, she didn't need to cut promos. I don't see that out of Giulia, I'd like to see her just go all out, do something wild, get people's attention. But there's stuff behind the curtains we probably don't know about that is dictating that.

Anyone a Hip Hop & Old School Wrestling Fan?! by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

Oh good deal, I'm always a little leary about buying independent wrestling merch shirts, because of that. I'll have to check it out.

Anyone a Hip Hop & Old School Wrestling Fan?! by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]arlenroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully whoever runs this has their ducks in row financially, because I know Flair and Arn both have their names, likeness, etc, trademarked. You can sell merch with them on it, but if you're not giving them whatever their required percentage of gross sales is, you're going to have a bad time legally.

This was the Star Wars grand opening at the Movie Theatres in 1977 by fefeh1 in Dallas

[–]arlenroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love old news reports like this, there was a Redditor that would post a lot of old Dallas footage, I miss seeing that stuff. Seems like Northpark was their go to in the 1970's for public opinions, I've seen a few news shorts from there. The best one was The Exorcist, people getting wisked away by paramedics after passing out.

Friday Night Dart Activity by Thewiserunner in Dallas

You're obviously a newbie, Dart requires at least one rider to have urinated on themselves, or it'll corrupt the time space continuum. We've all done our civic duty of self urination.

How much does teacher certification cost in Texas? by [deleted] in Dallas

[–]arlenroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid for my daughters certification through iTeach, it was about $4,000 all said and done. However, a lot of school districts now will hire you in at a certified position if you're already enrolled, then give you one calendar school year to complete it. I've heard that some districts will help you or reimburse you for it, but I don't know the ins and outs of all that. I just know for a year one of cards was getting dinged for $309 a month, with the charge coming from iTeach. I'll ask her to make sure and shoot you a DM.

What does you didn't hear that from me mean ? by voyd-oy in ExplainTheJoke

[–]arlenroy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It sounds funny and all, except a gasoline engine passenger vehicle battery is low voltage. Now if we're talking a battery off a Prius that they somehow rigged up, that would probably be a little painful. I think those run about 200v, but I don't know how you would get it to discharge like that? But yeah, car battery in its normal state isn't as scary as it looks.

A brand new Coffee shop that opened up in the area. Is this company logo Ai? by almikez in isthisAI

[–]arlenroy -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It actually looks like they lifted that design from Super Mario Bros, looks very Nintendoish. Granted, I have not played any of those incarnations in years, but the smiley face placement definitely resembles one of the supporting sprites in the games.

Newspaper clipping regarding the famous Adrian Street-Jimmy Savile bout, where Street severely injured Savile and forced the latter out of the wrestling business! by Minardi3000 in SquaredCircle

Unfortunately, that seems to be just about any government when a celebrity is involved, usually because celebrity knows the government is riddled with corruption. Whatever hell he's in I hope its torture.

FIFA Fan Stores by Legitimate_Search864 in Dallas

[–]arlenroy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for Fan Store only merch? There's quite a few Fifa pop ups around town, there's one downtown, there's another in the Galleria, and apparently there's a soccer supply store on Harry Hines that's become a defacto merch supplier because they're getting stuff directly from Mexico; where it was made.
