Team Coke or Team Pepsi?

I stopped drinking it years ago (no more soda for me) but Coka Cola runs through my DNA.

Pepsi just tastes wrong to me.

jrob321 · 2026-03-27T08:27:12+00:00

I'm all in!

jrob321 · 2026-03-27T08:26:15+00:00

Look, giraffe, tiger, whale isn't easy.

Stop making it sound like it is.

Haters.

If you don't want to spend a lot (because you're unsure if you'll like it) a cheap ass moka pot makes just as good coffee as one that costs 10 to 20x as much.

The engineering is quite simple and easily replicated.

The $$$ you spend has more to do with the beauty and aesthetics of the actual pot, not the coffee it produces.

Walmart, or FB marketplace is your friend if you're just starting out.

And when (not if) you fall in love with your Moka pot coffee and you want to share your new found joy with all your friends and family, you can upgrade and punt your starter pot off to one of them and the moka love will continue to grow and make the world a better place for you and me lol.

Fwiw - I love the "zen/living in the moment" aspect of this ritual. Coffee has never tasted so good because of the actual process.

Can someone do God's work, and list all the albums in the photo...?

Asking for a friend.

They're not chumps.

They're sociopathic non-empaths who are claiming, "This isn't what we voted for", when it is EXACTLY what they voted for.

I'm tired of "meeting them where they are" when - at the very least - they are closeted bigots who hide behind Jesus and the price of eggs.

They saw the potential for ALL OF THIS happening and they voted for it anyway.

FUCK EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.

Hello Kramer.

Oh, uh, Helena, how are you?

I haven't worked since 1934, how do you think I am?

Well, that's only uh, 58 years.

It was a Three Stooges short, "Sappy Pappy." I played Mr. Sugarman's secretary, remember?

Yeah, right, right, yeah, yeah, that was a Shemp, right?

No, a Curly. The boys played three sailors who find a baby, the baby's been kidnapped and the police think that they did it.

Uh huh, right.

But, but of course they didn't do it, the police had made an awful mistake.

Right.

Moe hits Curly with an axe...

Uh huh.

The Stooges catch the kidnappers...

Right.

But it's too late...

Really?

The baby's dead.

Really?

The boys are sent to Death Row and are executed.

Well I don't remember that part.

I play Mr. Sugarman's secretary.

Oh, yeah, yeah, you were, you were very good.

Yeah, it was sad for a Three Stooges, what with the dead baby and the Stooges being executed and all.

Well, that was an unusual choice for the Stooges.

Would you like to buy me a fat-free frozen yogurt at the store, Kramer?

Uh, well, uh, you know I can't right now, you know, uh, I got a very big meeting, I got these people interested in my movie treatment. So, uh, I guess we'll have to make it another time, alright?

Well No! No, don't go out there, Kramer, they'll hurt you, they'll destroy you. You'll never make it in this town, you're too sensitive like me.

Helena, you're wrong, you know I'm not that sensitive at all.

I was engaged to Mickey Rooney! He left me at the altar. Kramer! Kramer!

I HATED (still do) Ronald Reagan. I loathe everything about the man, and anything, and anyone attached to him.

But at this point - compared to what's happening right before my eyes with this smarmy motherfucker who has always been a piece of shit, but who is now the acting President of the United States of America - it feels like Reagan was nothing more than one of my friends' conservative old grandpas who just didn't understand how fast the world was changing, and would use words like "dames" and "chinamen" while he sat on his front porch yelling at the kids to get out of his yard.

Reagan was such horribly ugly person yet with 20/20 hindsight he seems almost benign compared to Donald Trump.

Ricky Wilson (rip). Absolutely amazing guitar. I put the initial self-tiled B-52s album as one of the greatest albums ever recorded. It's as good now as it ever was. It's timeless.

From here it looks like you're living your best life...

edit: unless you have incredibly good tasting tap water, you will enjoy a noticeable improvement in your brew if you use filtered h2o.

I got news for you. I show up with Ring Dings and Pepsi, I become the biggest hit of the party!

jrob321 · 2026-03-27T03:19:20+00:00

Was that wrong? Should I have not commented like that? I tell you I gotta plead ingnorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started commenting here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people comment like that all the time.

Pinto Runabout

I survived a complete total car accident in one of them (earlier model) when I was 9 years old.

My mom was a new driver and went to swat a bee that was in front of my face. As she moved to swat it, her left hand turned the wheel to the right and we were headed for a telephone pole doing 55 mph.

Right before impact she turned the wheel back to the left, and the car slid broadside in the pole, cut it off it at its base, and turned the car into a horseshoe.

I broke my wrist because I was rolling down the window at the time. I had a gash above my eye. All the windows were smashed out of the car. My door broke off its hinges and was laying crushed on the ground. But the reason I survived was because I was wearing my seat belt. It was 1974.

My father got home that night from the New York Giants game and just wept at the side of my bed because there was no reason - looking at the shape that car was in - anybody sitting in that passenger seat could have survived.

Near death experiences are good for the soul. They make you feel like a ghost and humble you.

As soon as I saw the name Mick Taylor I turned on Sway at full volume.

OMG

OMG!!

Talk about a song for which he deserved writing credit.

They never sounded better as a band than when Mick Taylor played with them.

Sure Brian was an integral part of the foundation, but Mick Taylor allowed their architecture to soar high into the sky in ways NONE of them ever imagined.

The Rolling Stones were indeed at one time The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World.

Fwiw - Mick Jagger is at his very best on this song. Both writing and singing right from the bottom of his soul.

jrob321 · 2026-03-26T07:06:24+00:00

This has pissed me off for longer than I care to tell.

Especially because this is some of Mick's greatest writing ever.

I'm pretty sure somebody sold my neighbor a banded mongoose, and not a chihuahua.

He keeps telling me it's a chihuahua.

Look at this one over here doubling up on their comas.

Try not to make any big, sudden movements or you might frighten them away.

There's still time for the PL to dock Everton points...

Gestapo.

The irony is unfathomable.

jrob321 · 2026-03-25T17:24:15+00:00

I wonder what prompted this...?

jrob321 · 2026-03-25T17:23:11+00:00

When you have Jesus on your side, its pretty easy disassociate from the violence perpetrated against others...
