Cover art for Thumper's album "No One Left the Disco Alive", showing a Saturday Night Fever type character on a light up disco floor, with an oversized metallic skull.

That I agree with!

Or wearing dress whites at a bar.

One time, I saw a lovely young woman dressed in goth fashion looking distinctly bored with whatever the person with her was saying. So I tried the one from "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy": "Hey doll, this loser boring you? Why not talk to me, I'm from another planet!" She was intrigued.

Flux capacitor replica, complete with Dymo label tapes reading "DISCONNECT CAPACITOR DRIVE BEFORE OPENING" and "SHIELD EYES FROM LIGHT", but the letters are too far apart, so it looks dumb and doesn't match the original prop.

But it makes my flux capacitor replica look dopey. Rounded up an older one, I'm going to redo it.

Me, holding TC, our tuxedo cat, stomach up like a baby, both of us looking at the camera.

Happy Caturday!

I normally wear gloves when handling rare editions.

The problem is they're very far away, light takes too long to get here, and we (stupidly) aren't listening for tachyons.

The Romans worried that if people could just vote for what they wanted, they'd just vote themselves bread and circuses. You know what? That's not a bad thing. People should be able to eat, and have some enjoyment in life. This stealing food from people to give to the rich is a MUCH worse idea.

Any other president wouldn't be immediately jailed upon resigning.

"There's a package for that" hits hard when there are packages for even some of these one-liners (I'm looking at you, itertools).

Paramount? I thought they were Skydance this week!

A salad? With, like a really big crouton, and the tomatoes were kinda mashed? Maybe a little garlic?

When their parents are tweaked out on sniffing glue.

There's a whole production staff for "Sue's breasts". Including eight electricians.

And yet, I keep hearing "Oh, but he's CHANGED" from people who go back to boyfriends that beat them.

"Nervous mother driving"

@robertpicardo.bsky.social is not only real, he's on here!

And 40K means you're going to be sliding around on liquid air.

This is amazing. If you like, I'll host the full size image on my server so you can link to it. I figure some folks may not want their material on the vitriol.com domain, but since you have (evil) in your name, perhaps it wouldn't bother you.

Vance went from "never Trump" to "Sure, I'll be your running mate/whipping boy."

I saw a post addressing a comment that “The GDT version of Frankenstein isn’t close to the book!”, making the (good) point that such things shouldn't impede storytelling. To me, the movie did capture the feel and mood of the book, which is frankly impressive for any movie, let alone Frankenstein.

Turns out the Laffer curve is bogus. What a surprise.

Glass case with an assortment of Nancy Drew books with tie-ins like a magnifying glass, an old clock next to a copy of "The Secret of the Old Clock", and even a copy of "Clues for Life: the Wit and Wisdom of Nancy Drew".

One of my local libraries recently had a display of books in their entryway. Nancy Drew books and assorted related objects.

I remember reading that "simmering" came from "simpering", which in turn came from "when the pot smiles at you". I can't help remembering this when I'm cooking.

Dulles airport used to have a separate check-in line for seasoned travellers. No signage for it, you had to know it was there. It was awesome.

Ouch, sold out. Maybe more will show up.

That has to be a mixed bag. I can't really offer any advice other than do what you love, whatever it is.

I'm still on CS6 as I'm not in a position to splash out on subscription software.

I'm so old-fashioned I still spell it "rôle" occasionally.

You're right about the dragons, there's fairly good evidence that the Chinese found fossils weathering out, curled up in their death pose, and posited curly loopy creatures based on them.
