After the divorce, my dad got a top of the line desktop with the biggest crt monitor is ever seen at that point. It must have been 19-20". He didn’t know shit about computers, but he knew he wanted the biggest ones when he walked into best buy.
He never did a damn thing with that powerhouse but watch porn, a fact I unfortunately stumbled upon when clearing all the malware from shady Y2K era porn sites.
Folks, never Ever learn your folks sexual preferences.
Somehow, I grew up in the one neighborhood in the city that hasn’t had a spike in value in the last couple of decades. My mom refuses to move out to a retirement community (at this point she would need assisted living). She likes to talk about improving the property and what color she should paint the upstairs. Watches flipper shows all day.
I don’t have the heart to tell her that I have no interest in inheriting the property and that it will be a huge burden to liquidate all of the ‘antiques’ she has gathered over the last 80 years that now stink of cat piss and many colors of mold.
She’s always been there for me in my darkest hours, though, and so has that shit mid century ranch.
I’ll still let her win at Wheel of Fortune, as long as she can remember my name.

This actually happens. Had a relative that bought one of a row of townhouses being built back in the 60s.

The Baker provides a service for a fee, the CEO denies service to inflate wealth (at least the ones that should be worrying).
If this is an honest question: slaves in the US would sing songs as they toiled to help them cope with their hardship. From the slaveowners view the songs often seemed silly or full of hope, while the lyrics actually contained veiled instructions about insurrection or escape.

I liked the actual smell of burning cigarettes, but the stake smoke that lingered on your clothes and hair after a night bar hopping was gnarly.
I always get the weirdest looks at cons when I wear a T-shirt bearing this slogan.
I played a cop in a video game once and know that they investigate murders of poor/homeless people.
I heard he climbed down into the sewers, put his signature hockey mask back on and is sheltering with some young adult martial arts reptilians.
“I’m filled with tinier men!”
“And I thought they smelled bad on the outside…”
The JavaScript boy became a sexy mysterious wizard.
Checks out.
Correct! High heels are seldom comfortable and rarely rational.
Maybe the orcas are trying to show off that they are hard and can hold their breath longer?
The Pixar film nobody asked for, but really needed.
She had style! She had flair! She was there…
That’s how she became- the Orca!
Because blue LEDs are a MIRACLE, dammit!
I can’t say for sure why. When I got married she just wanted to take one of my names (I have two last names). I’m not famous or anything, so it doesn’t carry any clout. Maybe she wanted a fancy sounding hyphenated name too, because she added one of mine to her current one.
We can add the new Nosferatu to the Christmas movie list. I saw it last night and >! There’s a Christmas tree in a couple shots!<
