It definitely predates Batman Begins. There’s a joke in Office Space about it for example.

Al Bundy could afford a house, a car and take care of his family with two kids on one salary as a shoe salesman…
Mike Brady was a staff architect, but he could afford a house, two cars, A LIVE-IN MAID/COOK, and take care of his wife and SIX kids.

Presumably he and Carol both got big insurance pay-offs from their first spouses mysterious, unexplained yet entirely non-suspicious deaths.

Here’s the story of a lovely lady
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of gold, like their mother,
The youngest one in curls.Here’s the store, of a man named Brady,
Who was busy with three boys of his own,
They were four men, living all together,
Yet they were all alone.Till the one day when the lady met this fellow
And they knew it was much more than a hunch,
That this group would somehow form a family.
That’s the way we all became the Brady Bunch.
The Brady Bunch,That’s the way we all became the Brady Bunch.
The Brady Bunch.Definite cult vibes there…

I currently do not live within a five minute walk of a bakery :(
I used to live next to a bakery for a while. Those were the days.
There was also a kiosk on the ground floor of that building. I never got to put my plan into practice of getting beer and cigarettes by lowering a basket with some money and a note on a rope.

The pronunciation of the R in different languages and dialects is fascinating. I’m watching old time videos about the life of one of our former royals and the “sociolect” they use, the class dialect, is really weird. I can’t even pronounce the R the way they do, it’s very odd. It’s somewhere between the French R, the German R and the rolling R.
It’s a sociolect that has pretty much disappeared although some people do use an R that is similar to the French R (the uvular trill), but most Dutch people use an R that is a bit more similar to the British R, certainly in the Randstad. In Frisia and Belgium a rolling R is more common. But it varies all over the place. Even in the Randstad you can still hear the rolling R in some places.

Yeah, tryptophobia is my thing, too. Fucking freaky. I remember your megalophobia. That’s fun in a country that’s famous for loving oversized representations of stuff.
Idea for a TV show/tictoc thing: Drive Al around the country and film him freaking out in front of those “largest x of the world” roadside attractions – like, the largest ball of twine, the largest pistaccio and so on.

🤣 There was a picture posted here of a huge chess piece (the horse) and if I was a tourist. I just couldn’t go near.
Then another posting of a huge vivid Marilyn Monroe statue and again… -

Scale relative to its normal size. And if it too life like, it can come across as a huge monster to me. Creeps me out.
The Statue of Liberty doesn’t affect me. In fact, one time I walked up the inside and made it to the forehead window.
But… there was an old pic of it being constructed and the background was the huge arm…
The oversized scissors depends. All in the mind.
Some AI art is creepy to me now.It is just seeing something that looks too real and too big and it should not be.
I used to post a pic of a life like Homer Simpson.
Strange. My avatar motif was from the Twilight Zone episodes and here I am still creeped out.——————
Speaking of avatars, I am using a few Banshee characters. The Boys show is popular and now a few Homelander fans are looking at Anthony Starr’s previous show.
I give credit to the past MWer Nicholas Taggart who talked about it back in the day.

I didn’t want to post this in the News section about Diddy’s arrest, so I’ll just say this: Denzel Washington turned down a lot of invites to celeb parties. The one’s where he did attend, he would just say Hi, do some networking and see other celebs network as well, but he always made it a habit to leave early. Smart move…

Yeah, Banshee was brilliant.
One of the creators went on to do Warrior, which has a somewhat similar vibe.

Has New York never considered electing, or even nominating, someone who isn’t a POS? IIRC correctly, no-one seemed enthused about Adams or his opponent. No-one liked the mayor before that or the one before that etc.

In my lifetime there have been 9 mayors of New York City. I don’t remember the first guy (Robert Wagner); but of the remaining 8, the only ones I would vote for again are the late Ed Koch (“How’m’I doing?”) and billionaire Michael Bloomberg, because they are the only two who I feel really LOVED New York and loved taking care of their city.

Assuming you would possess the traditional strengths and weaknesses, which would you rather be: A vampire or a werewolf?
For me, it would be werewolf. You are basically normal except for one night about every four weeks, during the night of the full moon. You can actually plan around that night. You can pretty much have a normal life.
Vampire, no question about it. Why? Because vampires are sexy! Whereas werewolves are stinky and ugly.

Now, another big store/pharmacy is closing down because of all the shoplifting.
Pretty much every time they claim they’re closing a chain store because of shoplifting, it’s a lie and they’re just doing it to cut costs.

You sure do. But I in the absence of that, I don’t see what’s supposed to be inhuman about an easily accessible warm place to sleep.
I mean, it may not be ideal that at roughly the same time, we also have the news about the Swiss suicide pod…

This is a nice youtube channel, Peter Santenello travels through the US and meets up with local people who show him and tell about the places he goes to. It’s very touching sometimes, like when he talks to people who used to be drug addicts. The episode where he visits the Kensington area in Philadelphia is shocking. Some of the towns he goes to in Appalachia and the Rust Belt are absolutely destroyed by drugs but others seems quite good indeed.
He also visits Amish and Mennonite people. There are a few episodes with Titus, who seems like a very inspiring, wholesome Christian character living a traditional lifestyle, but later some court videos showed up on youtube where Titus confesses to having had sex with his horses…

Taken from another thread:
“I didn’t realise that.”
The spelling of realize seemed odd to me, but was wondering if Ive always been wrong.
So I looked it up.The correct spelling of the word is “realize” in American and Canadian English, and “realise” in British, Australian, and New Zealand English.
Same for Finalize and Finalise.
I never realized that!

Oh yeah, that’s a thing. Personally, I’m particular to the British spelling.

So the main meme templates to make a statement are the one with
Lisa Simpson with the presentation screen and the
John Krasinski sketch board.——————
After all these years, I got my answer. Still breaks my heart:
Michael Mann told Jay Leno on Jay Leno’s Garage (2015) that Enzo Ferrari had watched the series and was dismayed that it featured a fake Ferrari Daytona. (It was widely known, thanks to press reports at the time, that it was a Corvette with a fiberglass replica Daytona body. Ferrari was suing the company that was making the Daytona Spyder replica to put on the chassis.)
Ferrari asked Mann what he could do to replace the fake car. Mann replied, ‘You could send us a couple of Testarossas. I’ll even blow up the Daytona.’ Enzo Ferrari sent the Testarossas, and the Daytona went boom in the first show of season 3.

Odd burst of cold the last few days. France, Germany and parts of the UK are freezing. In November. (Or were yesterday anyway)
Suburbs north and west of New York City got over 10 inches of snow Thursday/Friday; this after over a 1.5 months of drought. Thank God there’s no climate change, right?!
