Certain movie scenes. When I was a kid I watched Back to the Future a lot, and the scenes with the DeLorean always did it.

Also certain memories when they come at opportune times.

And rarely when I pee…usually when I’m too hot after exerting in the summer heat.

The exploding cigarette is hilarious! These days adult me thinks damn, that’s dangerous, but the kid is still in there laughing.

Was your brother ok, and did you get to watch it blow up?!

I decided to have a trial run with one of those in the sixth grade cafeteria. It certainly did the job, and I had some time with the vice principal.

Itch powder also works.

Excellent points. Makes me think of the old hair in the soup hangup, which had less to do with the hair itself (gross enough) and more about what else is getting into the soup? (disgusting).

The headline seems to suggest horse meat is bad for health, which afaik is not true. It’s illegal many places and taboo, but not for health reasons.

I won’t be surprised if Doom alters his appearance to be Prof. X, Cap, or anyone else to suit his needs. Stark is a powerful choice to influence Thor, as would be Odin, Loki, or Heimdall.

Also won’t mind some of in-fighting exposition as long as it serves the story. Gambit vs Shang-Chi looks interesting…hopefully it’s not just one of them popping up in a strange place that leads to it.

You stressed the shit out of stress, careful or you’ll rupture something!

Ahem, England would like a word. They didn’t gallivant about with the French on Saturday to share third place with Pampers+++++

Spain can’t give them justice any more than FIFA can for unfairly influencing those games through various means.

TACO Tuesday is back!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but stop allowing yourself to be persuaded by celebrities and influencers.

That’s not to say don’t help those less fortunate. But do it because you want to, and in ways that make sense to you.

Because collectively we’ve become a bunch of fucking followers, and this does the world no favors. Trust the good instincts from within yourself.

I lived in England at that time and what my coworkers heard was

WANK ME OFF!

I CAN’T WANK OFF!

Hilarious to me, especially since it summed up my thoughts on the song.

Given every advantage, including England down to 10 players, I’m glad the crowd of ~70,000 Mexico fans went away disappointed. They were having tantrums over every little thing and booing the opposition every second of possession, so it was good to have them silenced.

In shorts, unless you’re kicking a ball, high socks make you look like a dork

The same companies who know firsthand that early adoption is most often foolish based on what they tend to put users through. What a huge, expensive race for a half-baked product with no guarantee of value.

For me today’s puzzle was harder by far than any of the previous ones…thanks to the theme/clue being complete shit.

Not sure if you’re joking, but there’s already a black fella rock band with that name.

This move reeks of desperation of a dying sphere of influence. The old geezers who pushed it will have short term gratification, many on the way to their graves.

But imposing their views will come at a cost. Kids are more aware than they think. The backlash to being force-fed christianity will poison its tentacles even as they grow.

Not all Rs are magats in TX, and Paxton’s forte is not with winning hearts and minds. There’s a decent chance that lots of these traditional Rs, even if they’re not put off by Paxton’s scumminess, won’t bother themselves to show up and support him in Nov.

Depends whether one has PTO in the first place, and has hoarded enough over time to cover it.

There’s also short term disability, but even if you pay extra for that I don’t think that’s long enough to be short-term.. And even if 8 days qualifies, most don’t pay the full wage for time taken. Funny isn’t it?

Plus very few companies have sick leave as distinct from PTO, basically sick or not, your ass wasn’t at work.
