It's not a direct connection but it gets them attention. Same way with protestors for any number of things block off random public roadways and piss off random drivers. It gets in the news.

Last time I ate Taco Bell was like 2015/2016 and I don't recall if Diablo sauce existed. I always just said "Give me the hottest sauce you have" and I'm pretty sure it was fire sauce which has like zero heat at all.

But I'm used to just crushing up ghost peppers and eating them like a salsa. I know mass produced 'hot" stuff is always going to be pretty weak and not actually hot.

Tablet is the only thing I use.

Ive never owned a cellphone in my life and probably wont ever get one. I got rid of my desktop PC about 12 years ago as I simply was barely using it. I see no need for a full fledged laptop.

Tablet hits just perfect for me. Outside some gamefaqs usage Im barely on the Internet. I like having a tablet within arms reach while I sit in my chair. Its perfect for my usage.

In fact mine is 7 years old now and the battery is going to crap so Ill be buying a new iPad Pro soon since they just came out with new tablets. Its time. This one was great but after 7 years Im in need of a new one.

Real Madrid winning. Keep your money.

My whole life when I got a new system and moved on to a new library I gave away all the old system games to kids in the family or kids of coworkers. Did this me entire life from the 80s on with my Atari 2600 games and every system moving forward.

Back when I moved from PS3 to PS4 I didnt have any kids to give the games to. Everyone was grown and there was no interest. A few years go by and its just sitting in a box in a spare bedroom. So for the first time in my life I thought id try to sell it. I threw it online. This was about a month before Christmas. I thought maybe some mom who stays a generation behind because she cant afford current stuff might pick it up for her kids.

No individual sales. The whole box. Around 80 games roughly with virtually every major title you can think of. And even rare stuff like NCAA 14 and the game Afrika. Anyway, tons of great stuff and I put it on there for $200.

Never sold. Sure some people messaged. Always wanting to argue about price, wanting to buy individual games, even telling me they would stop by on X day at Y time only to never hear from them again.

Ill never try to sell anything online ever again. I was honestly surprised there wasnt one person interested, truly interested enough to buy. I thought for sure someone would buy it and then try to piece out the most popular and the higher priced rare games. Nope. No one gave a fuck.

Just out of this photo I had Wet, which they want full price for lol, and NCAA 14. Someone could have bought my whole box of like 80 games for not much more than what these people are trying to sell two games for. And again I have Afrika in that box. Look up the individual price on that.

my MAN

u and my ex gf are the only ppl in the world who share this opinion with me. i saw it on a whim one sunday night during its run, me and my boy chris

we loaded up on taco bell meximelts and went to watch

i laughed so hard i thought i was going to die

its the hardest ive ever laughed in my life. that movie is perfect

Seriously that movie is so good. And me being older I absolutely cracked up when Vanilla Ice was in it because he was such an iconic figure when I was in high school. It was just a great all around movie. I wish it was on tv more.

Mid to late 90s Sandler movies are some of my favorite comedies I can watch over and over and over and never get tired of. But I was a fan of him on SNL in the early 90s when I was in high school.

Both Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer are among my absolute favorites. I also highly enjoy Billy Madison, The Waterboy, and Big Daddy. I think Little Nicky is underrated. I dont see that one on tv much like some of his other movies. I enjoyed Mr Deeds a lot too.

50 First Dates is another one I put in my absolute top tier and its another Drew Barrymore movie. I thought his Longest Yard remake was not too bad. Sure I like the original better but I thought it was solid.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry is definitely the best thing he did with Kevin James. I really like it.
Thats My Boy is another absolute gem from 2012. Andy Samberg is great in that and that movie is downright hilarious.

From a nostalgia standpoint I enjoyed Pixels. From a comedy standpoint he hasnt done anything for me in the last 10 years but he has had some enjoyable serious roles.

For a guy that just likes making movies with friends and having fun hes put out a lot of damn good material to me from the mid 90s to about 2015. So for 20 years he entertained me with quite a bit of movies.

And to this day there are a handful Ill always watch when I come across them. I think hes solid.

Go back to the classics. The stuff I grew up on like

Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier
Old Yeller
Swiss Family Robinson
The Absent Minded Professor
Mary Poppins

My room is always clean. But my room is very bare bones too. I have a bed, a nightstand, and a dresser that is only there to hold my tv. Thats it. Nothing on the walls at all. Its always spotless. Nothing on the floor.

Im not one of those people that spends time in their room throughout the day. I only go in there to sleep. Otherwise Im never in my room.

I know some people still live at home so they spend a lot of time in their room and game in their room and have a pc in there and basically live in their room but thats not me. I have a whole house to use as I please so Im always in the living room when hanging out.

When I was a kid growing up sure I used my room a lot. Id read in there, play games, watch tv, that sort of stuff. Not now.

Speaking of Jim Carey. I was just curious what he has been up to lately because I just honestly couldnt recall him being in much lately. Not that he needs to ever act again. I mean hes rich as hell. But anyway from 2016 to 2020 he didnt do a movie and his last 3 films since were Sonic films. Hes basically done nothing in the last 8 years outside Sonic films movie wise.

Now he was involved in a tv show from 2018-2020 so that accounts for some of it.

Its just interesting to look at his output at the peak of his popularity in the 90s and even through the 2000s. Its wild that in 94 alone he had Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber. 3 of his big hits. And he was still doing In Living Color through the first part of 94. Talk about busy.

Wasn't this the first non-comedic role for Jim Carrey?

No.

That's awesome. Enjoy the donut and try not to get tears on it haha.

Each pint is also a few servings. That's like saying a bag of takis is 1500 calories.

Everyone knows for many of us a pint is one serving lol.

My favorite brand is actually a non dairy option called Nada Moo. Theirs is made with coconut milk and I LOVE coconut. So I get their chocolate flavor and it has this perfect chocolate/coconut combo flavor that is delicious.

Wasn't there an article recently that pointed out sales were really low and there wasn't strong interest in her concerts anymore? It might have something to do with that.

Nice. That is pretty awesome.

I have a special needs half sister that is non verbal. Honestly I don't even know her actual diagnosis but she wasn't supposed to live like into her 30's because not only is her mental capacity diminished but physically her body is like broken down and deteriorating too. She has been in a wheel chair since she was a teenager. Anyway she is around 40 now and still doing decent enough.

She is like a big toddler only she shows very little emotion and doesn't talk. She will make some grunts and noises but can't talk. Last year she was looking through my Switch games and she hadn't played the New Super Mario Brother's U so I just gave it to her. She gave a little bit of a squeal and then she fist bumped me 3 times.

My mom got wide eyed and shes like "she never does that with anyone, she really likes being around you" Totally made my day.

For the 100th time you have made this topic (mayo and chocolate milk we know you like) yes I like chocolate milk. We have a prominent local dairy I use. This is the advantage of living in such an agricultural friendly state that is full of farms. You can get your dairy and your meat from a local farm. I hardly ever touch chocolate milk though because the sugar content is ungodly high. It's like 25g for a fucking cup.

I'll stick with white milk but again it has to be creamline (non homogenized) whole milk. Once you have had actual creamline milk you won't settle for less. You need to shake it very well before you pour to mix up all the cream that separates and comes to the top. The only thing better is milk straight from the bulktank off the farm.

Most people are going movies, I thought games. I could name a lot of most wanted video game sequels we will never see.

They are known liars so on one hand it is most assuredly a bloated figure. On the other hand I have zero doubts this will galvanize his base and they would absolutely pitch in a bunch of money. I have unironically seen online where people are like "Jesus was found guilty by trial and he was crucified and I still follow him"

I'm an avid reader. I will never use a digital device to read a book. 100% physical for me always. I also don't like hardcover books and prefer softcover so it bends in my hands comfortably.

I read dozens and dozens of books a year and have every year for the past 40+ years. Always physical.

Nah but he is totally a Spicoli type guy.

I think of the Good Will Hunting scene where he suggests getting together to eat a bunch of caramels because it is just as arbitrary as drinking coffee.

Littlefoot's mother in Land Before Time (1988)

Bambi's Mom in Bambi (1942)

Mufasa's Death in Lion King (1994)

Those are one's that come to mind for me off the top of my head.

Hell yeah. *Pops confetti* Struggled through another day. Assuming you work a traditional M-F schedule you now get a couple days reprieve. You already have meals taken care of from yesterdays topic so it is time to decompress and relax.

I cannot watch that movie.

Not because it's bad, but because holy shit.

Michael Clarke Duncan was fucking robbed at the Oscars that year.

One of the things I think is really cool is I once watched an interview with MCD where he talked about many of his dialogue scenes with Tom Hanks and he said even though Hanks was off camera and we were only seeing John Coffey he said Hanks "acted" out the conversation with him and stayed in character to help MCD be fully immersed in the scene.

Michael Clarke Duncan did indeed fucking nail that movie. I can't believe it has been almost 15 years already since he has been gone. Honestly only feels like a just a short few years.

Sweet. Should be a good night and weekend when you get the chance to partake.

I'm normally in the camp of the book is better than the movie. Ultimately for me that is mostly true. but it also doesn't mean I don't enjoy the movie or think it is good. Especially in the case of Stephen King's stuff.

For whatever reason so many of the movies that cover his material have been excellent. He himself has been very pleased with a number of them. Some of my favorites have been adapted from short stories. Stuff like Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me. And again a number of others even if I like the books material better I still think it was a quality movie. Stuff like The Green Mile, Misery and a host of others.

I did this all the time in my early 20's when I was in the military and still lived on the ship. When you got a chance to be done for the day you left incase anything happened the wouldn't put you back to work with the duty section.

Local theatre on base (biggest Navy base in the world) had movies for a couple bucks. It was really air conditioned well in the summer, dark, relaxing. I'd go and rewatch movies just for the chance to relax. i watched literally every movie that came out. I'd go there 3 or 4 times a week.

I dont think I will. Im 48 so Im probably roughly 25 years away from being dead on average. I dont think we will be there at that time.

I started reading the topic title and knew it was you before I even got to see who posted. Which honestly sucks, because I wish it wasnt that bad for you.

On a side note the only ringing I hear is guys cellphones at work. We rarely get calls on the main phone, only if someone is calling in sick. And Ive never owned a cellphone and only have my landline which only rings once every few months when my dad calls.

I wish you could experience the silence I almost always have. Hang in there. Youll be moving later in the year to be with your partner and done with this.

GUN is a great game. Damn near 20 years old already. Im a western junkie though. Shows, movies, games. I love it all.

About half the cast of American Pie have done some stuff here and there but thats really all they are known for. They were all around 20 when the first movie hit and they did a few of those movies in a short span and seemed like they were poised to move on to other things and for a number of them it just fizzled.

Scrabble eggs. Im eating food not playing board games.

Idk if Id like tuna with pasta,

Its outstanding. Betty Crocker wouldnt have been so successful with their Tuna Helper line if it wasnt such a good combo.

I dont buy the boxes. I use my own noodles and seasoning but the premise is the same. Same with hamburger helper.

Absolutely. A big heavy granite one. Seriously its really heavy and good size. Here is a photo. The pestle is the size of a 16.9 ounce soda for comparison. Every kitchen should have this.

Yeah but for added context youre pretty much a shut in who hasnt worked his entire adult life either. Its not like youre out and about with friends and coworkers and leading a typical life. You pretty much choose to isolate and do nothing. Thats much different.

There is a lot of your types here on CE. You will have company.

I like a good grape soda.

That zucchini relish sounds bomb, im gonna try making it soon

Im not even a big relish fan but when I was given this recipe from my mom I enjoyed it so much I started using it regularly. I mostly use it with tuna but it can be used for fish as well like a tartar sauce without capers. Just Mayo and relish. Its great with meat. I use it on hot dogs and brats but other people use it on burgers, pork chops, even ribs. Some people have gone as far as eating it with tortilla chips like a salsa and I have a friend from the Philippines who loves to use it on rice.

Every single person I have ever given some too raves about it and wants me to make them some. I make it every year at the end of summer when sweet corn comes in and when gardens are in full swing. A couple years ago I had so many requests I made 16 cases. 192 jars. Here is a photo Im seriously proud of. Ive posted it a few times but Im posting it again. The end result of so much work.

Panthers take a 3-2 series lead. This has been enjoyable to watch. No OT needed tonight.

My sig used to be "How come no one on the Internet knows the difference between lose and loose?"

I swear it is wrong 90% of the time and drives me crazy. I'm big on spelling and all of the classic too/to/two and their/there/they're make my eye twitch haha. I'm always amused when people are arguing online in comments and someone breaks out the "Your a idiot" The fact they mess up twice in 3 words is just chef's kiss.

I have never played a Sanic game. I played some Sonic back in the day though.

Dark gray almost all the time. I have like 10 of the same cheap $3 plain t-shirt. I have a few different colors like dark blue and black but I almost exclusively wear my dark gray one.

If you were going to play it Switch would be the last platform I played on. But I don't play any multi-platform games on Switch. I don't care about portability. I only played hooked up to the tv and I'm not willingly going to choose the absolute weakest hardware.
