It was a classically dumb film, but knew it, owned it, and poked fun at it. Or, as Kronk put it - Squeaky, squeak, squeaker.

His friend answered, " Sixteen...four better, four worse, four richer, four poorer." I thought it was twenty, there's also two have and two hold. 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegazus Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Rotten Wheatstone bridges. When their behavior stumps 3 of the top data lab guys, you’ve got a whopper of an issue. Or one helluva glaringly stupid mistake. Either way we missed our ship date. At least I got to see coworkers for the first time in six months. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first it was a basic 24x24" tent with a cheap lighting kit, and now the idea seems to be this massive light kit with gridded softboxes that costs three times more, skips the photo tent, and instead adds in photo background diorama thingies. Not sure whether to be excited about such in the planning stages, or if it's another case of complete and total overkill. It would provide a good amount of even light though, that much is definitely certain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDT0zyvOpps 8 hours ago, Chaoswolf said: Two little boys were at a wedding when one leaned over to the other and asked, "How many wives can a man have?"

Keep in mind that for every wife you get a family in law... 10 hours ago, TripleH said: We have a @Glitterwolf sighting: Probably trying to launch a raid on a S.Q.U.I.R.R.E.L. facility.

I've been a willing (ish) participant in some pretty boring meetings that offered free food. 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManvsMini Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 A few things you might find interesting (or not) that happened on March 5th: 1616 – Nicolaus Copernicus's book On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres was added to the Index of Forbidden Books (a list of publications deemed heretical by the Catholic Church) 73 years after it was first published. 1836 – Samuel Colt patented the first production-model revolver, the .34-caliber. 1943 – First flight of the Gloster Meteor, Britain's first combat jet aircraft and the Allies' only jet fighter to achieve combat operations in WW2. 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always enjoy your daily briefings. They say that God created man, and Sam Colt made them equal. For your viewing pleasure did you know that in Soviet Russia Papa Joe (Stalin) banned western music. In response there was a niche of bootleggers who pressed western music into discarded X-Rays. Collectors call these Bone Music. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thoramel Posted March 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2021 Wife just sent me this picture. Apparently not content to cover our furniture and the clothes we're wearing with fur, the most evil of our cats is now sabotaging the washer in an attempt to make our clean clothes come out covered in long, annoyingly clingy hair balls. Apparently he was purring when she dragged him out of there. 2 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaganMegan Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I am reading a supers series Grump likes. Almost done with it, good, clean, silly fun. Superheroes and supervillains like pro wrestlers, fake fights and merchandising. The current book I'm on has supervillains on a road trip. The three villains are LOVED by their fans, and aren't fooling anyone. These books are like popcorn. 6 minutes ago, Froggy the Great said: The Emperor's New Groove is more quotable than The Princess Bride. Light the effigies, congregate to left. I am really, really, REALLY hoping that Disney never does to ENG what they did to Aladdin, and make a live action/CG abomination of it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
