I think the "Introductions/Hello" messages can be positive and useful – when, for example, you are greeted by people from your own city, state or country.  Have any real friendships been started that way?  Who knows.

Unfortunately, these message threads are also one of the most common areas for misuse from members who have fallen behind in their seeding ratios.  It's an abuse of the system to send greetings to members who joined GT, as in the following example, more than four years ago…    :afr:

OH, I forgot to mention, on this David vs. Goliath they have Mike White, a mucho quirky actor/director, and if you have yet to see his Chuck & Buck (2000), it's a true indie gem.

Mike's bio:  https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0925234/?ref_=tt_ov_wr

The film:  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200530/?ref_=tt_urv

(And now I understand the D vs. G premise:  essentially, the Haves vs. the Have-Nots, the Entitled vs. the Working Joe.  Hmm….   :blink:  )

I hope you enjoy Maniac, colonelguise – after four episodes, the title remains a bit of an enigma, as it's by no means a slasher series (so far).  Rather, much more cerebral and scary in that "science-out-of-control" way.

And I don't mean to poop on the joys of Survivor, lol.  I have enjoyed those shirtless guys over the years.  But I feel that this David vs. Goliath premise is not the most original.  Wasn't there a Brains vs. Brawn theme not long ago?

In my fantasy viewing world, next season of Survivor should be Retired Porn Stars vs. Tele-Evangelists.  Once tribes are merged, see what kind of alliances and surprises that would bring!  (Immunity idols are based on crucifixes and dildos, of course.)

To be fair, I only turned on the new Survivor mid-episode, during the "challenge in the rainstorm."  Except for the plus-sized guy (who was later airlifted out for that unfortunate boating back injury), I had trouble distinguishing what made one side Davids and another side Goliaths.

Yes, there was a middle-aged lady who doesn't exercise (guess that qualifies her as a David); otherwise, they just looked like two teams (again, maybe difficult with all the wet clothes and such).

So, another Team Immunity challenge, another race digging under a log, climbing some ladders, and of course, a puzzle at the end as a nod to "brainpower."  Even recording the show and speeding through the ads, for me it's more of the same as the past 327 seasons.

[  With that done, I binged half of the limited series [i]Maniac on Netflix, and actually felt my synapses fire.  Jonah Hill and Emma Stone are great in this trippy sci-fi treat.

A daughter is doing her homework in Human Anatomy.

"Mother," she says, "…how do you spell scrotum?"

The mother looks stumped, and finally replies,

"I wish you had asked me that last night – it was on the tip of my tongue."

A Christian family walks into a hotel.

The father walks up to desk clerk and quietly says, "Please make sure the adult film channels are disabled."

The guy at the desk replies, "It's just regular porn, you sick fuck."

You have to wait until 1:30 of the song, but all I can say is

Today, was clear of the Midtown/Broadway rip-off zone, and was relieved to see a Trader Joe's mega-special on bananas for 19 cents each.

Peaches went from 79 cents to $1.29 each, so you could have certain varieties.

Even some McDonald's franchises in Manhattan don't participate in the "Dollar Menu" promotion, but then again, is it really food?    :afr:

Here in midtown Manhattan, at a convenience store, $1 gets you a very small candy bar, for example.  A cup of fruit yogurt?  Not for a dollar.

A cup of coffee, no matter how small, is a rare find for a dollar.  Maybe at a sidewalk food cart, where you could also get an apple or banana – but probably not both, unless it was midnight and you got a "deal."

It's a pretty small list!

@kulope:

PENIS!

Congratulations, kulope, you've earned a Masters in Male Anatomy.  Send us pics of your research…    :cheesy2:

I have never been homeless.  When I see or read media reports of people who have endured this hardship and emerged successfully, I'm always impressed by their determination.

Moderators:  This is a splendid thread, but I think it is misplaced on the Around the House board.  This board is largely for home improvement and very "light" types of discussion.  And if you'll pardon the dark humor, once you're homeless, the one thing you are not is Around the House.

In the Chit Chat section, for example, someone has begun a thread, "Are You Scared of Aging?"  So, "Ever Been Homeless?" is quite similar, I would say…

Almost nine months (?!?) after her passing on January 15, the coroner's inquiry has stated that Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan drowned – accidentally -- in a bathtub after drinking.

Some question whether there was an "unknown, guiding hand" involved in her drowning.

Echoes of Whitney and/or Bobbi Kristina, or simply a tragic accident?

I'm interpreting the question more along the lines of, "What music did you like, as a youth, when you started listening for it on the radio, or buying it for your "record collection."

Offhand, I recall Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and Abba's The Visitors.

Interpreting it the other way, well, I like – in moderation -- things as old as Gregorian chants, circa 10th century, but not for the religious notions, lol...   >:D >:D >:D

Curious and the gay scene was amazing

Watching it again and still pretty amazed, too.  The look on the cab driver's face when he gets porked!

Ballroom dancing – not that I've seem it in person, but our local PBS channels are showing DanceSport from Europe.  It's just a crazy, anal-retentive extravaganza, and those handsome guys can certainly move.

THIS or THAT:  Iceland or Ireland?

Mario Party – fun, fun!

THIS or THAT:  Ping Pong or Miniature Golf?
