There are good odds, what with how Thanksgiving and Christmas will be going, that many of us will spend the first quarter of next year having someone follow us around with a tuba.
Sounds like a good way to wind down and decompress from another busy year of living and making one's way in the world, and steeling oneself for the upcoming year and whatever it may bring.
Anyone else remember when Star Wars made the rounds at the theaters for its third time (1979)? In the copy we got at our theater here, no one shot in that scene.
The Han and Greedo scene went straight from "Yes, I'll bet you have." to the next scene, which was an outside shot of the Death Star.
For years we had thought it might have been a bad spot on the copy the theater had which needed cut out. Then the Han Shot controversy came up, and that entire mystery was suddenly put into a different light.
It would be interesting to see a case come up where the plaintiff insists that there be no photo on the driver's license at all due to a sincere belief that a camera steals the subject's soul.
Of course, that belief needs to be wrapped up in a religious sounding name, perhaps something along the lines of Great Spiritism or something else tying it to a traditional Native American religion.
Anyone else find this declaration in the article mildly annoying?
Out a little farther, the four gas giants -- themselves failed stars --
At best, one would think that of the four, only Jupiter could even remotely be considered a failed star. I would think the other three don't have nearly enough mass to qualify for such a designation.
I've been down, I've been beat I've been tossed into the street Beggin' nickels, beggin' dimes Just to get my bottle of wine
Some say life she's a lady Kinda soft, kinda shady I can tell you life is rich She's no lady, she's a bitch
They suck my body out But friend there is no doubt I'm gonna pay the devil his dues 'Cause I'm sick of being abused
Eat the rich, eat the rich Don't you know life is a bitch Eat the rich, eat the rich Out of the palace and into the ditch
Steal my money, steal my car Took my woman and my old guitar Runnin' crazy, runnin' wild Blind alley in my mind
Just can't fight the temptation It's become my inspiration Gonna get myself an axe Break some heads, break some backs
They suck my body out But friend there is no doubt I'm gonna pay the devil his dues 'Cause I'm sick of being abused
Eat the rich, eat the rich Don't you know life is a bitch Eat the rich, eat the rich Out of the palace and into the ditch
Don't stop me
Eat the rich, eat the rich Don't you know life is a bitch Eat the rich, eat the rich Out of the palace and into the ditch
Eat the rich, eat the rich Don't you know life is a bitch Eat the rich, eat the rich Out of the palace and into the ditch Out of the palace and into the ditch
That goes back to at least the late 80s. I remember the second Batman movie (the one with Keaton and Nicholson) had Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent. It made me wonder if there would eventually be a black Two-Face.
I would imagine in that scenario, the one with his cock and balls poking up into the tub of popcorn would be doing it for the benefit of a girlfriend that may be enjoying the film with him.
And considering the social handicap a typical Cheeto-fingered Neckbeard who would be likely to be the one doing a secret cam recording through a popcorn tub has, the odds that he would be trying to surprise a girlfriend instead of making a recording are simply astronomical.
(And amusingly, as I reread this, I am hearing it perfectly in the voice of Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory, with either Howard or Raj looking guiltily embarrassed.)
When I generate shipping labels daily for items I sell on Amazon, Etsy, eBay, and other sites, it would get rather expensive to attach a digital picture frame with a jpg of the label to each package.
Fortunately, I have an old HP Laserjet 4100 with enough refilled cartridges to last me a lifetime.
At that point, you fire up something like DVDFab and make an ISO with the copy protection garbage stripped out. Then you should be able to use VLC to play the ISO and output to your TV.
It looks like it was late enough in 1977 when these were launched, that they could have added photos of the Death Star blowing up Alderaan, and then a diagram of our asteroid belt.
I would love to buy an electric, if I could afford one like the hot little tart the Mastermind drove off in at the end of the second episode of Leverage.

For NTFS, which is patent protected, define an extended superset of the file system
Shouldn't the patents be expiring on that sometime real soon, considering NTFS has been around for over 2 decades?
There are good odds, what with how Thanksgiving and Christmas will be going, that many of us will spend the first quarter of next year having someone follow us around with a tuba.
Could it be that the above is the true reason, or at least one of the more valid reasons, for the season?

I'm all for any celebration that involves a lot of good food, drinking, and nowadays, indulging in the wacky weed as well.
And if people want to put Christ in Christmas, they would be celebrating during late Summer or sometime in the Fall instead.
Or, more accurately, "If perpetual motion machines were invented, would elephants wear pajamas?"
The answer to that is, "Yes, because bananas can't moonwalk."

I'm still awaiting the discovery of felonium, which would be confirmation that even the world of physics has a criminal element.
Aw, how cute. A timmy has arisen from his basement lair. Sorry kid, your Hot Pockets are not ready yet.
Better hurry back down to your XBone before another timmy starts teabagging your corpse.

If you want to drive on the same road as me, you should be as identifiable as me.
FTFY. The other two scenarios are on the other side of the line.

2620 can't come soon enough.
You could probably make big bucks following him around with a tuba.

It must be said then...

Pretty simple rocket surgery.
Sounds like they should have been using swallows instead of pigeons.
Blahblahblah latest movie home release!!! Own it today!!!
Oops. Perhaps they should say "license it today" instead if that was what they actually mean.
