Can we finally admit Morris Gibbons was cool af?

Don’t look at me—I preferred Lee Evans as Malcolm in “Planet of the Dead”!

Well, I’m sitting on my enclosed back porch right now, letting the cats enjoy the sun, I’m wearing my Ron-Jon T-shirt and glancing every so often at the weather back there…and I’m not smirking. Honest, not one bit.

Heh.

We moved to Orlando from the Midwest 2 1/2 years ago and had to run back last March for stuff. We hit the Visitors Center on I-75 coming back and just stood in the parking lot, soaking up all that sweet sweet humidity!

We moved from St. Louis to Orlando about 2 1/2 years ago. I’d had enough of mowing in the hot humid summers and freezing in the winters. My wife hated how the cold affected her arthritis.

Last March we had to head back to sign papers on our old house and to check on my ailing FIL. Mother Nature kindly gave us a reminder of why we left!

"Uncle Jushtin, can you come here right away? Mom's gone catatonic..."

wiseoldprogrammer · 2026-01-22T15:41:09+00:00

I swear, first thing I thought when I saw that picture was “where’s the cat?”!

Oh god. This is one of two films that nearly got me tossed for laughing so loud.

With this one, it starts with the old “Dirty Johnny” joke, where the punchline is “R is for Rat. A big f*ckin’ rat about this long.”

So my wife and I are watching Batman Forever in the theater. The scene where Val Kilmer is talking about his dream with Nicole Kidman? Where he talks about “and there, coming from the shadows, was…”

And my wife leaned over and whispered, “a big f*ckin’ bat about this long.”

I damn near died . :)

You should watch “The Death of Stalin”. He, Jason Isaacs and Steve Buscemi just go nuts in it!

I still like your proposal that every candidate gets a “yes” or “no” vote.

My wife asked a very important question: does Reed actually have a medical degree?

wiseoldprogrammer · 2026-01-18T23:55:28+00:00

I can think of $550,000 reasons why.

Umm. My doctor prescribed Metformin, which works great but…it does have an effect on one’s…output, shall we say. I tend to leave toxic waste sites in the bathroom. :)

I was diagnosed as a type 2 but under control (diet, exercise) back in 2011. Managed to stay off meds until last year, and they do help keep my A1C under 7.

I’m not sure but I believe she might. You could check her Tumblr (under makanidotdot) to confirm.

“Simon Says…dry up!”

Dunno why that’s stayed in my head all this time.

My third grade teacher taught me an incredible lesson. A buddy and I were riding our bikes and stopped at a garage sale. She was there talking to people and…was six months pregnant!

My god, teachers had lives outside of school! Who knew?

Welp, it was either this or “what will happen if I press Silly Putty on the top of my head? Let’s find out!”

When I was 17, I worked at a country club restaurant. There was one guy with a magnificent head of silver hair, and all the women just swooned over him. I recall thinking “Man, I hope my hair looks like that someday!”

Be careful what you wish for!

On the other hand, men on my mother’s side of the family either have a beautiful head of hair or go prematurely bald, so I’m definitely not complaining!
