College program in 06, seasonal transportation car member for two years after that.

Dunno. I’ve got it on Blu-ray… that’s… 4k…? I’m not sure.

Traditions! That’s what it’s called! Couldn’t for the life of me remember.

Where’d you work? I was a monorail pilot down in Orlando.

Sorry, was drunk when writing that. Meant it to be implied that this is what companies tell their employees about why they do it.

There’s all these iconic photos of Walt Disney where he’s pointing at stuff with a two finger point. I’ve heard that some within the company say that this is the example by which their resort employees always use the two finger point to direct guests.

In reality, he was holding a cigarette and the photos have been airbrushed. He died of lung cancer in 1966. Pointing with two fingers is just seen (kind of universally across cultures) as being non-accusatory. Like, say you saw someone talking to someone else and you cannot hear them (or it’s in a language you don’t understand); they’re pointing with one finger in your direction, you may be inclined to think they’re talking about you. If they’re using the two finger point, you’re less likely to think that… it’s the same for airliner flight crew.

“Alien” (1979) still gets me every time I watch it. The slow build, the pops of horror, the delectable suspense of the Big Chap hunting. I know every scare, every moment of terror, every death by heart… but it still gets my circulatory system going. All other home invasion/haunted house movies can go home, Alien nailed it.

So glad the Europeans finally broke Apple and their ridiculous charger shenanigans. A coworker just got a new iPhone and asked me if I had an iPhone charger, I told them no all Ive got is USB C. They said they didn’t know what they had and showed me the bottom of their phone and, sure enough, it’s USB C. They had no idea that only Apple kept making their own charge connector and that basically everyone else had settled on one charger/data port like two or three standards ago.

I think what made that script work was they just threw everything at the wall and if it stuck it stuck and, if not, they moved along. There’s like three spoken jokes and two sight gags per every five minutes of film; some of it hit, some of it didn’t. Some of it was topical, especially concerning the films they were lampooning, the dramatic “Airport” series. Like the PA announcements in the airport scenes about abortion, that was in “Airplane” because there was a whole subplot about abortion in “Airport.” In the dramatic film, it was as if the writers wanted to beat you over the head about abortion, so that specific joke in Airplane lands differently if you’ve seen and are a fan of the Airport series. Still… it’s a real testiment to the skill of the screen writers that modern audiences, many who have never even heard of “Airport” still find “Airplane” hilarious.

She’s like 25, so there’s not much time I suppose.

You couldn’t make Titanic today because it wouldn’t be believable… Leonardo Decaprio dating a woman his own age? Preposterous!

No, that’s ballot. The balut is the person who is paid to park cars at hotels and fancy restaurants.

This… JMG is the best. Him and Isaac Arthur…

I’m okay with ads (just like on broadcast TV), but only if I’m not paying for the streaming/VOD service (just like on broadcast TV). Like, I’m okay with ads on a YouTube video, but I got rid of Netflix when they cancelled a series I liked and, now that they’ve started talking about adding ads, I’ll probably not go back.

Micromanagement and the need to take credit for work other people do. Of all the incompetent bosses I’ve had over the years, micromanagers are the worst and all of the micromanagers for whom I’ve worked have been men.

It’s like, dude, you hired me because I know more about doing this task than other people (including you). Stop hovering over me, when I need your input I’ll come get you. Just let me fucking cook. I know what I’m talking about and what I’m going… you employ me specifically because I know what I’m talking about and what I’m doing.

I guess their thought process goes: if I’m not hovering over this person at all times, the company might figure out I don’t know 100% of 100% of everything my employees do day to day… even though that’s insane. What company would require a manager to know absolutely everything about how their employees do their jobs; a manager obviously shouldn’t be completely in the dark about operations but also it’s crazy to think they’d want them to be an expert on everything.

Hash browns are salad, confirmed.

Domino’s is sheetrock.

Actually, it’s a cheesey tomato soup in a bread bowl.

Salsa is fruit salad.

The pull cord to the attic hatch in the hallway ceiling. Who else is with me? When I could reach that without jumping, I knew that day that I was a man (I was twelve).

I took so much of the popcorn off the ceiling my mom got upset.

I mean, in the 1950’s, the planes with all the fancy food and service were basically full first class flights… to return to that weed have to have single class/first class flights and the prices to match.
