90mm recoilless rifle, since the Miata's so light

he sat at a table across from us at a (the?) restaurant in the Portsmouth, NH airport in 1999, and I still regret not running off to the nearby newsstand to get a Penthouse for him to autograph.

He's not much for letting his tongue stick out, but he does have nursing dreams which are simultaneously adorable and disturbing.

it's not entirely conspiracy thinking - the model's "ability" against specific benchmarks ebbs and flows as OpenAI updates it.

on second thought, stick with the chinatown reference.

But he couldn't, which is how Bilbo was able to initially get away with lying when Gollum said "handses!"

...was wearing a Roy Rogers/Gene Autry cowboy jacket. Bright red, white piping, white fringe for miles.
Topped off with a leather barnstormer's flying helmet and goggles. As one does, I suppose.

I love the story of the kayaker in Puget Sound who had a baby seal hop up onto his kayak and curl up for a nap.
Dude spent something like 3 hours not moving, gently paddling in place, simultaneously in "awww cute" mode and terrified that USCG would bust him for a Marine Mammals Act violation.

it's beyond huge for all kinds of research. the epidemiology study that uncovered Reye's Syndrome was halted within two or three weeks because the initial findings were so overwhelmingly strong.

"But this other movie. It had giant fucking worms trying to eat people! That's all it was! And it was awesome! The camera angles! They were all..." [vigorous pantomime ensued]
So yeah. That's how I was introduced to Tremors. 4/4
