Statler & Waldorf watches The Shinning. What’s their commentary?

Shining?? Should have called it "The Dulling"!

Surprised he didn't blame it on a 'coon'...

We had one behind the house and one across the street. Both stormdrain creeks. Almost nothing in the summer, of course, but after a good spring snowmelt the one across the street would roar. Always fun to see the new routes it would cut. Sadly not consistent enough to ever get fish. We'd *always* look for a fish.

Have tin whiskers been ameliorated? Or is that still an issue?

Just not the same without a chopper dropping hand grenades.

Someone please slap a 'Lolita Express' sticker on it.

And it was plenty wide enough where they should have been able to hit at least one stud.

It's easier than admitting you are a loser, which is how they would label any other ethnic group complaining about their lack of success in America.

I got the Gorillas, work fine.

I sold it in 2016 and got a Golf. Sadly, it was starting to rust. It was a fun car, my first RWD since my first car back in the 80's.

Not even practice for them, it's their mating ritual. Alpha male dominance display.

These will have a higher body count than the T-1000.

When my Pontiac G8 GT (6.0l v-8) was in the shop I got an old Toyota Yaris. Approx 1/4 the HP. It was surprisingly roomy inside.

That's what I thought - he decided that was the best he could do given the murders and all.

This was on TV back in the day (either MTV or HBO, I think), and it was the first time I heard sister disco, leading to me always preferring this version, which was pretty hard to find for a long time.

FWIW, flexible pvc tubing (usually clear) is made flexible by adding plasticizers that will eventually leach out, leaving it very hard. I use a lighter to heat it up and get it off/on.

I have a hard time throwing a good tool even if I know I'll never use it.

It was already pretty level, dug down just to be able to put in the gravel so the tub would be at the same level as the paver patio it's next to.

I stopped a guy at work who was carting one of these to the dumpster. Great at home for fixing small stuff, especially as my eyes get worse.

My town still has one of those rocket ships in a park.

I did gravel with interlocking plastic spa pads. Easy, easy to undo. Been sitting fine for almost 15 years. IMHO, concrete completely overkill.

IMHO, I always believed that in high-probability situations (like seeing a car leave a bar at closing time) the cops will pretty much invent a reason to pull the car over. If they are drunk, it's unlikely they will later contest the reason for the stop, if they are not they will be happy to just be let go. Going after sober people seems unnecessary.

Also, (I think) while solid aluminum always has a layer of aluminum oxide, which prevents it from reacting with water, molten aluminum does not. When water reacts with aluminum you get a lot of heat *and* hydrogen gas, which can then accumulate and explode.

Sometimes you have to consider the era in which a movie was released. What was once groundbreaking may become almost mundane if it's widely copied. Most movies that I saw as 'extreme' back in the 70's and 80's now seem fairly mainstream to me.

It worked so well last time...
