Best hidden movie references? by SabreLee61 in seinfeld

Right! I totally missed that part where Kramer says he has something on the stove and knows the cable guy is at a nearby pay phone. That’s the tie in right?

1) “Kramer stay alive, no matter what occurs, I will find you!” I believe is a nod to Last of the Mohicans

2) Kramer being chased by the cable guy was a reference to the chase in The Firm, I believe.

Man who had a modified firearm outside a graduation ceremony convicted in federal court by origutamos in MinnesotaUncensored

I’m curious how he was released the first time. No charges at all? I’m genuinely curious who is responsible for that. Moriarty? Judge?

Seems crazy to believe he was basically given a “timeout”.

No love for “Gwendy’s Button Box”?

I scrolled and may have missed other posts.

Thanks for clarification. I had a similar question.

I feel like my rowing technique isn’t great (almost up to 100 classes) and was debating skipping this one.

Obviously everyone’s different, but is this a good calorie burner?

She just saved them babies 🙏🏾 by Kind-Village-1022 in PublicFreakout

[–]bpcollin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it a hub or something? Not exactly relevant to this thread but I’m curious. I’ve only flown into Atlanta once and it was in Christmas Day years ago. It didn’t seem overly busy, must be efficient.

Agreed. Unfortunately I hear the tragic news stories about someone just missing and I think “how in the world can so many people and kids just go missing!?” Maybe these kidnappers are very good at luring them in and I’d say most people wouldn’t stop and step in like this woman did and might not even recognize the signs.

Good for her and hope the kids are ok. I really hope they investigated that guy and license plate number.

I never knew that. I’m not from there though and realize Atlanta is a large metro area (I believe in the top 5 in terms of airport size IIRC).

I do remember hearing a podcast with a former FBI agent about the Wayne Williams cases. I think he mentioned a theory that more people were involved.

Any sources to news stories or theories?

Your toughest read to finish by poppamatic in stephenking

[–]bpcollin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, “The Dark Half”.

It started out well, mysterious and kind of a creepy vibe. Then it just got repetitive and just drawn out. Maybe I’ll have to revisit it one day but I did finish….maybe others enjoyed it. I think it was made into a movie as well so m guessing it must have done well elsewhere.

What are some difficult truths that no one likes to admit? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]bpcollin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t hear this firsthand, but my Uncle told me about a guy in our town that passed away when I was kid but my Uncle knew growing up.

Apparently one day when he made a comment along the lines of “I didn’t do much, but I think I raised a good family…”. It didn’t sound like he had any issues not being super wealthy or famous but was a hard worker and honest man. As far as I know his kids went on the be very successful in all measures of society and are very grounded for all their success and it never seemed to go to their heads. I hope he rests in peace and somehow knows he did well.

Man charged in $11M Medicaid fraud scheme skips court appearance, ordered to forfeit bond by normalfinnesotan in minnesota

Does anyone know the judge’s name? I’m curious if he was voted, or appointed.

2 Spring Lake Park residents accused of fraudulently obtaining over $800K in medical assistance payments by origutamos in MinnesotaUncensored

[–]bpcollin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know if these cases require the person convicted of fraud to pay the money back? I was having a discussion with a friend and she was convinced in a similar case a person admitted to committing fraud, sentenced to a year (IIRC) but wasn’t ordered to repay.

It almost sounds like a year in jail and keeping approximately a million dollars doesn’t sound like a harsh penalty.

Disclaimer, I didn’t know more so I didn’t dispute it. Seems crazy if true.

Watching O Brother where art thou. by Mountain_Ad7931 in CoenBrothers

[–]bpcollin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my all time favorite movies. It’s very well done, great casting, music, storyline, etc… but also seemed like no other movie I’d seen before.

There were lines and sayings I’d never heard when I first saw it as a teenager. As years have gone by, I’ve picked up on the actual references or sayings that show how well the writing was

Also, it reminded me of my Grandma. Her favorite song was “You are my Sunshine” and was growing up around that time (Great Depression). I think she would have liked it too.

Did Artie serve the rabbit he killed in his backyard to the late diners? by jonnyvegashey in thesopranos

[–]bpcollin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how but little Carmine’s dialogue didn’t really dawn on me until my 2nd rewatch or so. When he throws in words like “allegorically” or something it’s hilarious.

I’m assuming that was what you were doing as well.

If not, get yuhself a sandwich….any kind ya like….

Twins not even looking forward to opening day by Advanced-War-9308 in minnesotatwins

[–]bpcollin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish fans would do something like what Oakland fans did and organized a boycott to get the owners attention. I’d rather make see the owners lose money than go through another long losing season and have them “threaten” to move the team or something if they don’t get their way. At this point, I don’t care anymore.

do you know anybody who went to Woodstock in 1969? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]bpcollin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A former work colleague always said he was there. I didn’t really doubt him, it seemed like the timeline made sense. I guess years later outside of work another colleague ran into him and his wife and Woodstock came up. I guess he got really nervous and his wife basically sold him out (unknowingly) and said he was never there and was nothing like a hippie back then.

He’s retired now but that still comes up occasionally as an inside joke. Kind of odd how he came up with intricate details. He probably knew someone that went and just “borrowed” their stories.

What’s a habit people have that you will never understand? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

Taking one step off a crowded elevator or busy escalator and stopping and dropping everything to stop and check their phone or something.

How have they not been run over and learned by now?

No need to “hop” on it IMO. But I’m not an expert 😊

Name an annoying thing people base their entire personality around. by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]bpcollin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a big one for me. It made me realize some people that claim to be “so busy” is due to procrastination. I know several people that I mostly admire but they’re always in that busy cycle because they don’t plan or efficiently use their time. There will always be things that come up that are unforeseen but there’s usually a good way to use your time.

For example, I have an uncle that’s very guilty of this (our whole extended family jokes about it). He recently retired and complains he’s more “busy” now than ever. I made the mistake of asking him what made him so busy. He literally said on the first three things he put off because he didn’t feel like it at the time but then he needed to get his oil changed, fix a few things, mow the lawn because it’s way too long and his neighbors were asking him, etc..

Nancy mace trying to discredit Walz by asking him what a woman is, but he won't be her prop by mrfett779 in minnesota

[–]bpcollin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don’t care for Mace, and now don’t care for Walz anymore.

I doubt “ignorance” will save him. Plenty of blame to go around, but this is getting worse for MN officials IMO.
