@TheStingisBack Did not know that. I simply thought she was hired because she was Adrienne Barbeau - and who'd need a 'reason' to hire her.

It was basically “Bring a Wife to Work Day” on the set of Escape From New York (1981). John Carpenter cast his wife, Adrienne Barbeau, as Maggie, and they even squeezed in Kurt Russell’s wife, Season Hubley, for a quick cameo. Both heard he was dead.

@woofknight I get what you are sayin' - but people had been doing TV dinners since 1955. However, top hole take on the AI situation though.

@stargazeruk7 Hey, at least your teacher gave you the color of the sheep!

@LeniterFortis @jbillinson A basic outline is not the same thing as having it all planned out. I'm not saying every writer has to be Tolkien in getting all the facts and ideas down, but I'm guessing that Lucas has stuff going on in his head and a lot of notebooks, but a whole plan - not so much.

@jbillinson If you look at the first opening credits George had in A New Hope while the movie was still being made, you'll realize that he did indeed have a lot of it planned out from the beginning.

The greatest trick George Lucas ever pulled was retroactively making the first movie Episode IV and then convincing a shocking number of people that he had this whole thing planned out all along

@jbillinson Well, honestly, I thought he was making up "Empire" and "Jedi" as he was going along.

@dougponder My wife would have sighed, and said, "So, that's yes. Okay."

My wife found these at an estate sale and asked if the boys would like them. So, I responded: “April – 1805. Napoleon is master of Europe. Only the British fleet stands before him. Oceans are now battlefields.” “Does that mean yes?” she asked. Me: OCEANS ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDS

The woman who sold us the dog, had lost her son recently, he was the one who was breeding the dogs. Our daughter (10 at the time) thought it would be kind to name her after him. So we did. It fits her, because for her first few months she was "Kali Ma - the Destroyer!" Not furniture or anything serious, but apparently chewing is life for golden doodles. I kept hearing that line from "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" when one of us would discover something she'd chewed on that she shouldn't and say, "Cali!" The daughter and the dog are the only native Hoosiers in our little family. Well, now that we are conversating - is your name actually Lloyd?

@FarrLawrence Since you’re living in Texas but from Indiana, what’s the California connection?

The call of the wild.

@TheMiddleborne That's almost too so, to be funny.

He just finished the project his wife has been asking him to do for months. Now have her change her mind

Well, that's not even close to the same thing! I have friends who are from Arizona, and when they first moved to Fort Worth (in July!) they said they were going to go out for a run. It was 105, but they said, it's hotter in AZ. Twenty minutes later, they came back and decided to run at night. The phrase, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity" ain't just a phrase. Broiling is a lot worse than baking.

Texans will sleep through thunder that shakes the whole house… …but wake up when the fan shuts off. 🤠

@MikeBales That just about the best part. The other was ours was next to a tree. We would stand on end where the poles made the upside-down 'V' and 'walk' up the tree to flip around. Totally amazing and we felt so cool and gymanstic-y!

Fellow Gen X'ers… Does anyone else have a metal swing set barely (or not) anchored? Swing too high and one leg would pull out of the ground, then slam back down with that perfect THUD every time. A random core memory just hit me 😂

In the movie, "The Great Race" when Tony Curtis' character says he is keeping a journal of their plight to help others that follow (before their ice flow melts and they all drown). He mentions that he will put it in a water-tight container. Peter Falk's Max whispers to his boss, "Why don't we get into the water-tight container?" I showed the movie to my daughter recently, and like me, she feels Max steals the whole show.

Why don’t they just make the phones out of the phone case material.

@HumanityChad Okay, this post has been reported for having exceeded the amount of wonder and cuteness allowed on this platform.

This is beautiful!. If rainbow was a person🌈

@BasedMikeLee The word perhaps did not, but the act certainly did.

This does not compute

In the very brilliant radio play, "Three Wisemen and a Baby" when the narrator explains why Mary and Joseph had to go to Bethlehem, a young voice says, "Taxes? What are taxes?" Another voice, a bit older asks, "How much money have you got? "A dollar." "Give it to me!" The narrator says, "Well, that's close enough." And resumes the story.

Morning.

I think it was also Garfield, that they asked Alexander Bell to use a version of a metal detector to try to find the bullet, but it kept find metal everywhere! Well, the patient was on a new fangled mattress with metal springs inside. Sometimes the best intentions will get you killed.

The 20th President James A. Garfield was shot in the back and died 79 days later. The cause of death was actually the unsterilized hands and instruments probing his wound and caused an infection. He had a better chance to survive if they left him alone. Isn't that our government?

@TheBabylonBee I don't think he's in danger of getting close to one.

@woofknight But then she goes to HR (my wife) and she tells me to knock it off.

@woofknight Just to watch my daughter go into drama-mode (not a hard task) I'll refer to our golden doodle as 'the little bitch.' It never fails to entertain.

Apparently, “Morning, bitches” is not considered a “team-oriented greeting” at work.

@woofknight You could have shared that a little sooner, Dude!
