Though there is also a serious one - one of the first cases of mistaking a Sikh for a Muslim was in Providence, later that afternoon. And Mayor Buddy Cianci just made it out like he was a God for pulling it off first.

There were plenty of musical ones, actually. A few album covers got yeeted, and they cancelled a single, "When The World Ends" by DMB because...reasons.

...and the damned AI would STILL get my last name wrong, guaranteed. All it would take is someone changing one letter to the more conventional spelling and AI would just say it that way. Humans will still exist in the chain so therefore there can still be human error.

Probably Sir Duke, but really, if he released it in the 70s I probably like it!

I will be...right up until I see this week's paycheck, which will look like Mitchell's liquor cabinet on a Monday.

As I have a bonus day off, I'll go with Sunday, Part III: The Search for More Rest.

Raiders is a ridiculously well-made film. Last Crusade is close, but there's just something missing from it compared to Raiders.

Yes. A great big mess, mind you, but we're great at *something.*

Didn't recognize the allusion. (Still don't, kinda wondering if I forgot a part of Holes or something.) But I was all ready to talk about climbing on rocks as a kid... :P

Exactly! All the bluster in the world from that slowly desiccating orange won't change the fact that the so-called problem will never go away until the employers hiring them are punished.

It's one thing to work at a restaurant that has a style... but a theme just seems like way too much.

Having never been...I had no idea these were things.

Really, is it worth playing a prank on a joke?

I had a dream recently where it was a movie about killer bears (who were subtitled, of course) coming down from the mountains to attack Cleveland, so I feel those mountains in my soul....

Are you sure you picked the right plug? I mean, my lights did go out for a moment before....

I'm not sure he could balance the physical book on another, bigger, thicker book.

Well considering the way NH politics have been the past 20 years or so, that's probably not an issue. They'll just rotate them somewhere else.

I don't get how people can be that stupid. Granted, my own grandmother went by the nickname "Gay" sometimes (short for Gabrielle) so I already recognized it, but still.

1 FCS college football game (URI-UConn in a driving rainstorm), and 4 years of college basketball & football, including the last collegiate hockey game at the Boston Garden and the 1997 NCAA tourney. (I was there for the "dook is dook" game even!)

Oh, and an AFL2 game. (The team didn't last long.)

Fun fact, I've never been to an NHL, NBA or NFL game in person. Been to AHL games, baseball games at multiple levels, and, of course, college games aplenty. But none of those other ones.

I honestly don't recall how the actual last one died. Or if it even did for that matter. I just know the one before it, my college one, with the VHS combo dealy, died of depression during the coverage of 9/11. Sad, really.

Our society's biggest issue, from a sociological standpoint, is that we're becoming practically dependent on being right and instant gratification instead of compromise and working towards goals. We are, mentally, black and white tv's from the 70s in an 8k QLED TV and modern media world.

Exactly. People's wires get crossed when that country comes into play, because of the religion involved in it. They don't think rationally. So irrationally that they literally gave up fighting against keeping what we've had in the last 3 weeks from happening over it. It's just, beyond stupid.
