idle moments

@80s_channel 14

I was 10, in the middle of the best decade ever.

Lets hear it!

@LiterateIndy Indy is a lovely city and widely underappreciated. Mass Ave is a particularly fun stretch. The canal/river walk is kind of a hidden gem. A world-class zoo right downtown=amazing, and dinner at St. Elmo alone is worth the trip

"I told a New York reporter that Indianapolis was the most beautiful city in America." - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle describing his visit to Indianapolis in 1894.

@Noirchick1 Project Hail Mary last week in 70mm at the Music Box in Chicago. And seeing it again tomorrow night

What is the last film you went to see in a movie theatre?

@saniyafatma1278 I'd have probably tipped $40 on that, but I'm a hopeless over-tipper

My husband and I went out for dinner last night. We left a $20 bill on the table as a tip for our $125 bill. The waiter refused to take it and said we shouldn’t go out to eat if we’re not willing to tip at least $50, and now I’m wondering if $20 is enough?

@CatLover56577 Frankie Malort

What name would you give this cat?

@_maskapital @Sayunan708 💯 Great advice that I came here to give too...almost verbatim. I'd add Candlelite to the list for good tavern-style, but probably a little too far north for most tourists

@Sayunan708 If you want good Chicago deep dish, go to Pequods. Idk where your picture is from but I wouldn't give that to a friend visiting Chicago. If you want real Chicago pizza (thin crust) go to Pat's Pizza, Vito & Nicks, Novel Pizza or Pizzamici.

Enjoying Chicago No ketchup is wild🌭

@Sayunan708 That is the way

@JigglyPants44 Also neo-nazis

That’s the underground potato railroad to Canada

@saniyafatma1278 while also catching an assault & battery charge...yes, absolutely

Be honest: would you kick someone out for mistreating your cat?

@ronsterd89 Zips, Buster Brown

Name the shoe brands that school children often wore in the 70s.

@DegenerateTBone this egregious Chicago Tavern-style appropriation cannot stand

Pizza Madness happens, and then this article comes out. Not a coincidence...

@Super70sSports Perrysburg, Ohio's finest

Even Abraham Lincoln was like "Holy shit, Leyland, that's a pretty tall fucking hat."

@Watchman_motto I played in many a friend's and cousin's basement/rec-room as a kid that looked exactly like this in the late 70s - early 80s

Every American has been here at some point in their life. You might call it “outdated” you might wince at the wood paneling, but ask yourself, is it really that bad after all?

@ronsterd89 The Underdog Show

Name classic TV shows, 1947-1999, that had narration during their opening. Ex. Adventures of Superman.

@stacycay The ones in their late 70s / early 80s are my parents' generation ... they did it in the 60s and they're not about to stop now!

Man if you can’t appreciate a bunch of Trump hating grandmas going to the streets and yelling about it then we’re just not gonna agree on anything

@penkindel Whenever I'm in Pittsburgh, I try to give myself enough time to book a window table at Monterey Bay Fish Grotto ...

when oomfs come to pittsburgh this is all i can think about

@Andrewnsnyder I'm in the camp that believes that he's intentionally written as Tolkien's personal avatar in Middle-earth...essentially a literary manifestation of the narrator in the story

I will judge you based on your opinion of this man.

@briangaar Agreed. That was my senior year in high school. Then, in college, The Simpsons was must-watch TV in my dorm. Nearly my entire floor would gather in the lounge/TV room and watch it together every week

I don't think anything has affected me more in life than being a kid in 89-90 when Simpsons and Get a Life premiered. It's Gen X so nobody cares now but that was like a bomb going off.

"Solid B cities might not have the MoMA, but they are likely to have good museums, a great brewery scene, a functional bike path, and a minor-league stadium. To live in a place you can afford with a municipal government that works, this hardly seems like a consolation prize."
