  1. Oh so the solution is to start requiring ID for Tide pod purchases? I guess there's just never a point where we just let people darwin award themselves instead of imposing more regulations on the rest of us

      I'm pretty confident I could do it myself, I'm fairly handy. However, I absolutely have to have the old one disposed of, and most places will install along with delivery, so I'll probably let the pro do it just to be safe. Thanks for the advice

      People used to use corn cobs until indoor plumbing was invented. Then they just used their hands and washed them afterwards.

      Loved Donnie Darko better than Ghost,  though I consider Ghost to be a Patrick Swayze movie so...   I'll now hang my head low as I haven't seen Dirty Dancing or Roadhouse, but I guess they're on my list.

      Patrick Swayze movie idea:  Dirty Roadhouse.   Swayze dances with underage women then kicks the shit out of everyone!!

  6. We were just reminiscing at work about actors in the '80s used to have albums. Eddie Murphy, Patrick Swayze, Rick Springfield..and Grace Jones in a related way

      Don Johnson - still listen to his albums today! And "Under the Boardwalk" by Bruce Willis was also a hit here in Germany. Even the unknown stuntman, Lee Majors, scored one or two hits here.

      I live in one of the wealthiest places in the US and I think that $70K is a lot of money no matter where you live.

       

      The "owner" could be paying as little as $1000 a month.

  9. Woke up with a headache, I feel like stepping on toes. Paul McCartney is the worst Beatle. His Wings band pumped out some of the worst music I've ever heard, they generally suck and your music taste sucks if you like Wings. Especially that horrible Christmas song they made, easily the worst Christmas song of all time!

      Michael Bolton's another. He had a handful of hard rock albums, rubbing elbows with Kiss and Ozzy. Then made a hard transition into pop/AC in '87.  I remember seeing one of his early videos pop up from time to time on Headbanger's Ball, which was always very weird.

      Possibly, because you know it will work right out of the box, it won't require any setup, it looks cool, and it will probably be built to last.

      I agree there's nothing savage there. If you like them that's cool. I might rip on a band I don't like (Hopefully in a funny manner), but I'm not ripping on someone else's tastes. Also I've always liked dogs (just too allergic to cats I guess). Dogs! \m/
