    Buggerations! It's a shame my underlying health issues aren't more severe! If only I was asthmatic too!

    When people pull me away from a biker or a car way before it has reached me, I'd rather hear it myself, so far I've never failed at it when being alone. This shouldn't annoy me, one might even go as far as to say I should appreciate it ;)

    Films like The Reef, where not only does the viewer not feel any empathy / sympathy / connection with the characters because they’re so mind-numbingly stupid and shallow, we actively hope they get killed - in this case in the jaws of a great white.

    Just how bad does a film / script / dialogue / acting have to be for the viewer to feel this way?

    That's how I felt about the series Ozark.

    I just watched Uncut Gems last night. Hated everyone. Over two hours of characters just screaming at each other.

    Oh man, I got through about fifteen minutes of that and had to shut it off. I was interested in seeing if Adam Sandler had any potential as an actual actor. Maybe, but it wasn't worth my time and thank Cthulhu I didn't pay to see it in a theater.

    Oh, I have now. That was just my arid humor.

    I'm sure my obsessive anxiety will find something else to get me tweaking.

    Why you always ragging on poor Kyle? I've known many fine Kyles in my life, plus one irredeemable douchebag Kyle, but we don't talk about him.

    At least you got that one out of your system. What's next in the Grand Mysteries of Life?

    When you dig into the back catalogue of a musician whose airplay singles you liked and find out that there's a reason only a few of their songs made it to the radio.

    Ahh...on theme...the fact that the band Queen were ‘quite shit’ in the 1970s among contemporaries - kind of a kids’ band at the time - kids receiving the ‘greatest hits’ in 1980, like Bucks Fizz (the band) of rock music, I suppose, or ABBA would be...would be...

    They were ‘square’ in the parlance..

    And now Queen are the greatest rock messiahs thru time...this is just for the record only.

    One year my library had a "secret party" for the community. They painted stones and hid them around downtown. If you found a stone it was your invitation lol. That was years ago, im told. People are still finding the stones and getting really excited

    Guess you could say you and this type of craft have a rocky relationship?

    Until I started getting into watching restoration videos the only thing I knew about flaxseeds is that they're slippery when boiled, and that was courtesy of To Sail Beyond the Sunset.

    So some weird associations there when I saw guys using them on tool handles. :)

    Definitely. I actually like stones the way they are. This seems like vandalism to me. I know it's silly, but I HATE painted stones.
