Having to explain the very concept of a film strip has finally made me feel like a museum piece

Ohhh, interesting - good to know

It's about time this discussion toque the front seat.

The ratchetting sound when the head comes back on is simultaneously satisfying yet unsettling.

Need to ask the Germans if they've come up with a word for that.

Casualties?

It's WUTHERIN' time!

"I hope you realize this going to seriously eat into your retainer"

I know. Say it.

"Sigh. Iiii am the Laaawyer of Divorce Fuuuuuture!"

Surely that's a SPECTRUM shadow.

Too many of these people gone. Sorry to be maudlin.

...not Sammy Maudlin, just to be clear.

Or at least my superhero identity

Oooo - considering changing my surname to "Strawman" now

Hey I have this exact shirt from when they played here ages ago.

Confirmed

Some Abbey Birthday Cake for you

Just think of how much more refreshed for studying you'd be if you watched an odd movie and then posted about it

Characters from two different franchises who would be friends.
Or maybe not

I don't think we were ever shown a movie in class.
Just blurry Nova specials or The Nature of Things.
I recall suggesting "I, Claudius" but was nixed.

They had Popeye the musical in the gym once, but I think that was on a weekend.

Used for detecting gold in sand *somehow* during the Gold Rush. I picture it kind of like panning - mix the sand and water, shake vigorously, heavier gold should settle at the bottom?

And yeah, why it became a swear is still a mystery to me.

Never stop

Apparently a horn spoon was a prospecting tool during the California gold rush used to test sand for gold.
"By the great horn spoon" was a 19th century swear replacement.
It regained some popularity after this Fleischman book about 12 y.o. and his English butler was published in 1963

An imperfect not-circle.

Thats superb, thank you

Kind of inspirational, honestly
