perhaps, it was some gen x fun facts i saw online lol

Doing some googling, it looks like they stopped music videos totally around 2000-2001
Some people attritube it to the mid 90's though, when reality tv took over the site
Thats not true, I was 15 39 years ago and it was nothing but Michael Jackson and Ahha videos.
Maybe 29 years?

I pour my milk before the cereal, then do just a thin layer of cereal. Always crunchy, never soggy.

Cereal Killer.

The expression "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" is an old naval expression.

In ships of war, the racks that held the ship's cannonballs were made of brass and called Brass Monkeys. In colder latitudes, the racks would shrink slightly and the cannonballs would fall off and roll around on deck.

Camping sucks.
It's like an experiment in being homeless....and people enjoy it for some reason.
You are in a cramped living space. Everything ends up wet or sandy.
You sit in fold out chairs, consuming "less than" shit like instant coffee

I can go sit outside in a camp chair for 4 hours at my house lol

I can see hiking and camping along the trail...etc.

BUt people that just park an RV at a yogi bear campsite? No thanks lol

This has probably been brought up before but rings of power is an awful show. They had so much source material from The Silmarilon and Unfinished Tales that they could have used. Instead they just make a whole new story. It’s basically fan fiction and it’s terrible. I can’t even make it through the first episode

So, while making the 2006 movie Idiocracy, where American society has devolved into a bunch of retards,t he filmmakers needed to outfit the "future americans" in clothes that would make them look kind of stupid, but, they also needed inexpensive options since the movie didn't have a huge budget.





There was a fairly new footwear company that had introduced a line of inexpensive options that the filmmakes found kind of funny, and would fit the bill of both making future idiocracy Americans look kind of dumb, and also be cheap for the film production.

Those shoes?

Crocs:




We are living inside Idiocracy America.

Moral of the story, stop wearing fucking Crocs in public. They are sweatpants for your feet. Comfy for the house, embarassing to wear in public.

All Filming should be banned in Every Gym
I cancelled our gym membership and bought a rack and weights for the garage right as covid hit, so I thankfully haven't been in a commercial gym since this became such a nuisance. If I was still going, I would deliberately ruin anyone's shoots. Shit is intolerable.
