  • Exercise on the elliptical. Ideally I find songs with a moving tempo, but not too fast, and I can sync up my elliptical running to the beat.

  • I love a good laugh-out-loud comedy, so I’m going to go kind of obscure with Amazon Women On The Moon. You’ve probably never heard of it, because it was a straight to DVD from ‘87 by Zucker/Abrams/Zucker, the same guys who made Airplane and the Naked Gun movies, and it’s also the spiritual successor to The Kentucky Fried Movie.

    It’s difficult to describe it, other than to say that you’re loosely supposed to be watching a 1950s sci fi movie called Amazon Women On The Moon on late night TV. Interspersed among the bits of the movie are fake commercials and other skits that are absolutely hilarious! And the cast is unbelievable - Roseanna Arquette, Michelle Pfeffer, Arsenio Hall, Steve Gutenberg, Andrew Dice Clay, Joe Pantoliono, David Alan Grier, Ed Begley Jr., a long list of classic comedians in one skit, and, if you keep it rolling during the credits, even Carrie Fisher shows up.

    Sadly JustWatch shows that it’s not available to stream anywhere (except the high seas I guess? 🤷🏻‍♂️), but Amazon has the DVD & Blu-Ray available, and, if you’re a fan of Airplane type humor, it’s worth the purchase!

    EDIT: After a Google Search, I discovered that there’s a copy online at the Internet Archive! Go watch it before it’s gone!

  • I walk into my house and start dictating to a speaker sphere what lights to turn on, what to set the thermostat to, and to turn on the tv. And she answers. Just like in sci fi movies.

  • As I get older I realize why the Grinch wanted to live alone on a mountain with his dog.

    Also, maybe the Grinch wouldn't be so sour if everyone in town wasn't constantly singing songs about what a piece of crap he was!

  • But what happened to the DuFresnes? No one seems to care. Who can eat at a time like this? People are missing!

  • You can not understate how important the iMac was to Steve Jobs' plan to save Apple.

  • And at the end of his election fraud report, he’s going to announce that he’s going to make Mexico pay to build that wall!

  • Read all about this and more in this month's issue of Duh.

  • Remember the Titans. I don't care if it's 5 minutes in or 5 minutes from the end, I will sit and watch it.

    "You make sure they remember, forever, the night they played the Titans!"

  • Eat a tick? I’m actually not sure which is worse….

  • I used Apollo on iOS. It wasn’t just the way it looked, and not just the way it worked, but it was the tiny things that made it superior. For example, one thing that I loved and haven’t seen on any other app is the way that it handled videos. While the video was playing you could put your finger on it and scrub it back and forth to fast forward/rewind. So intuitive, but I don’t know of another app - Reddit or Lemmy - that has that.

  • OH!

    “Mecca lecca hi, mecca hiney ho!”

  • Sadly died of cancer. Apparently fought it for some time, but kept it private.

  • Loraine is Loraine Newman, one of the original Not Ready For Primetime Players from SNL. I’m not sure who the other guy on her left is.

  • I’d just like to add that Adam Sandler was incredible in Uncut Gems as well.
