    True story, I once got a barks root beer and the cashier decided to put it in a paper bag like it was a real beer and while I was walking home because I lived like four blocks away from the gas station, a cop pulled me over and he was like, “what you got in the bag boy?” And I responded, “it’s a beer”. And he said, “why the fuck you drinking a beer walking down the street” and I’m like, “cause it’s a root beer!” and he got mad at me and drove off.

    And it was one of those stupid things that people do, not even a funny story, but the picture reminded me of it, but it was extra stupid because I was a brown teenager in the deep south.

    I still hold that that was Grandpa Joe’s swan song, kind of like people who are terminally ill suddenly have one day where everything’s wonderful and beautiful and they’re coherent, cognizant and they talk to people and have a good time and then the next day they’re dead.

    I imagine that within weeks of the end of the film he was dead, so we should let him have his last hurrah.












  • I think it’s rather telling that there’s not a single company that’s touching any of these currently insanely overpriced products and going, you know? I think I’m going to prioritize the human customers over the business customers. Sure, we may not make as much money, but we would have truckloads of goodwill and generate thousands of lifelong customers.

    And I understand the business reasoning for that, but great businesses are not built by bean counters any more than wars are decided by bullet rations.


  • There are cheap ones that just connect to the water line between your toilet and the tank and they’re like 20 bucks and they’ll last you a couple years.

    It takes a little getting used to the cold water spray, but I mean if you’re that desperate that you’re calculating the 30 cent difference per roll, then it might be worth the investment.

    I still haven’t seen the movie, but I’ve seen a synopsis of the movie.

    I am so disappointed.

    But I’m hopeful.

    Because what I really want to see is part two of this movie where a random group of like a hundred people get one and they know it will grant one wish and what wishes they make and what the consequences of a hundred random people across the world having a single wish granted all at the same time or within like the same few weeks.

    Mothers grieving over their dead children who wished to be able to fly, but never thought about landing.

    Competition from 10 or 15 people who wish to be the richest person in the world one after the other and having their wish granted only to be killed a day later by the next person who wishes to be the richest person in the world and having all of their riches transferred to that person.

    People wishing for magic and being haunted by demons.

    People wishing that their lost loved ones would come back to life and having the undead rise.

    There is so much potential in this concept if I just hope somebody has the balls to actually reach out and go for it because it would be such a good movie.
