The Kraven movie was good. The place I saw it was just like the movie theater.
Worst Christmas movie I ever saw was "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians".
Enjoy!
A very happy birthday to Kyoto Kid!
This made me wonder whether our paths ever cross in a lifetime. Imagine a piece of ribbon being left behind whereever we go, saying 'I was here once'. We move on the surface of the earth, the earth rotates around its own axis, also around the sun, and the sun rotates around the centre of the galaxy. Assuming fixed galactic based co-ordinates for the 'I was here once' ribbon, the various squiggly spirals we travel around seem highly unlikely to ever cross, but I wonder if they ever do.
Furthermore, I wonder if anyone has ever been interested/bored enough to go through the maths & check.
Regards,
Richard
I wonder when my taxi is coming? It is so cold outside! I don't want to wait outside but I don't know if I can hear the taxi from inside.
27 degrees?
I start to melt at 25.
Oh. Forenheit. Yep, chilli.

Richard

Not quite a Complaint: This morning 13 more Fahrenheits joined the 7 from yesterday and had a party out there for the twenty of them. Enough that it was tolerable for me to toddle up to the grocery for last minute "needs" (salad greens, eggnog, olives, cottage cheese, Honeycrisp apples, potato salad, a blueberry muffin, and a couple slices of berry pies), mmm... pies. My nose nearly froze, but didn't bleed. All set for a couple of decent meals and a few treats at home through the holidays. Yay.
Had to go this morning, because snow it is a-comin' this afternoon and all day tomorrow.
It's snowing right now, does that count for "sky is falling" ?
Oops I forgot to say which scale.
Happy birthday, Kyoto Kid.
Happy holidays to the Daz community.
Yes. One of the many parts of the sky that fall, i.e. rain, snow, sleet, hail, dust, rocks, airplanes, birds, satellites, and even oobleck (at least according to Bartholomew Cubbins).
The Internet is watching: Back on the previous page of this thread I talked about American "Biscuits & Gravy" and looked up a photo of the concoction. So, what do I get offered to me via YouTube on my TV, today? A clip about British school kids (and their principal) trying our American style "Biscuits & Gravy".
To be fair, the stuff on that photo looks like hardboard with lumpy wallpaper glue poured over it...
Merry Christmas Eve!
.. thanks y'all for the birthday wishes..
I had A very wonderful day on Sunday . O was taken out by several friends from my D&D group to the annual screening of The Big Lebowski at an independent cinema (which had a special on the "signature" white Russian" drinks). Afterwards we headed out for more drinks and dinner, everything paid for.
Yeah another 584,520,000 miles added to the lifetime logbook for a total of 41,500,920,000 miles travelled so far (if stretched out in a straight line), Not about to bother with calculating out the sun's movement in the galaxy, the galaxy's movement in the local cluster, and local cluster's movement in the universe right now as the brain still smarts a bit (and I don't have access to the El Capitan supercomputer at Los Alamos).
Taking it easy today after dealing with bureaucratic nonsense early this week
Tomorrow I'm invited to a friend's house for a full holiday dimmer and "refreshments". Attended last year and it was very mellow and enjoyable. The celebrating doesn't end wit that either as another friend invited me to dinner on Thursday (ham mashed potatoes and all the fixins"). Crikey, going to have to fast until New Years after this week.
When you have good friends like this they become your family
Speaking of which, I haven't been back to visit family members in years as they are all back east and living in different cities. Just can't handle the cost, crowds, and trouble. Flying these days is literally for the birds and contortionists who don't mind being wedged into the modern day equivalent of medieval torture device known as an airline economy seat for several hours.. No way am I going to pay to submit my tall creaky arthritic frame to that kind of punishment
I used to enjoy air travel back when you were still treated like a valued customer (even in coach) instead of baggage.
It can be.
I kvetched about that in my initial post on the previous page. Toasting the biscuit to crispness ruins the grace of the concoction, The dish should not have any crunch to it, smooth savoriness is the goal. And yes, un-hot gravy is indeed like wallpaper paste. Proper Biscuit & Gravy requires that the biscuit must be fresh baked like a heavy bread, sweet & salty, smelling & tasting of real butter, warm, soft. And the sausage gravy must be thick, steaming, and the sausage bits very spicy.
But if not fresh, then warmed up in a microwave by breaking the refrigerated biscuits into a bowl, and covering the bite-sized crumbles with the gravy, microwaving to steaming hotness, and stirring, brings much of the original texture and zest back to life.
Mmmm... Biscuits & Gravy.
So which is worse? "Grandma got run over by a reindeer"? Or "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas"?
Meretricious to all, and to all a good night!
That sounds a lot better than the photo looks! I'll not turn it down if I ever run into it, but I'm very unlikely to find it this side of the Atlantic.
Google is your friend:
Do it yourself Biscuit & Gravy: https://www.seriouseats.com/biscuits-and-gravy-recipe-7369656
Not sure that Google is my friend... Anyway, London seems to be the closest place for me. Still a bit far. I'll have more luck making it myself. One day...
Friends are people who can get close enough to stab you in the back.
or give you a back massage. (Not everyone like those.)
Merry Christmas
I've been enjoying the "Dickens" out of this holiday. Now I'm binging the TV series "Martin Chuzzlewit". So many obsequious, grubbing, despicable, sycophantic, and disgusting people.
Dickens certainly had his finger on the pulse of the times.
Not finished yet, but hopefully, karma has its day.
