Random Statements About Something NOBODY Cares About, the resurrection

[LilCerberus]

Hmmm....

Two of my favorite stinkers on tonight....
Smokey and The Bandit (1977) about a beer run that turns into a two hour chase scene
or
Hannie Caulder (1971) a western with Raquel Welch as a topless gunfighter.....

Remind me to tell you guys on Sunday about the weird thing I did Saturday. (No, not a couch exorcism...)

[RCMerchant]

I was reading a Tales from the Crypt comic, and this guy murders his wife, buries her, and plants a peach tree on her grave. When the cops come to investigate, the killer offers one of them a peach from the tree (which somehow is bearing fruit already.) He bites into it and blood squirts out. The end.
Now there's a story with a happy ending!

Oh, ER- it's Sunday. What did you do Saturday?

Thank you, Ronny.

Yesterday we explored an immense abandoned mall. Huge place. Almost 3/4ths of a mile if you walk all the way around it inside. When it opened in the 1980s it had space for about 300 tenants and five anchors but it never thrived and was eventually deserted in stages til it was left totally empty. It was surreal in there, like a dark echoing time capsule, chairs, tables, signs, merchandise left in place, movie posters from the 2000s visible in the inside multiplex, dead plants, dead palm trees, unemptied trash bins, even petrified food left on some food court counters. Except for a busted skylight the place wasn't in that bad a shape but it had a serious Chernobyl vibe. Eerie.

That sounds totally cool!  Wish you'd gotten pics or video.

Interesting how many horror movies there are about old psychiatric hospitals

Over the past 20 years, we've gradually traded watered-down stoicism for watered-down hedonism.

Blame my generation.  After all, we gave you Clinton.

Yesterday was a good day. The sun shone, spring was in the air, I had it medically confirmed things are well in the immediate sense, everybody was happy, and there were multiple celebrations of various sorts throughout the afternoon and into the night.

Today the sky is silver, the air is chilly, the first flowers are emerging, I saw a pregnant deer out back, and life was again good this morning.

I could Groundhog Day this life.

Hello? I still have an account here...

[LilCerberus]

Why do the LeMat Revolver & the revolving rifle always end up on lists of the worst guns in history, but Colt's 1846 walker only gets the occasional mention, & Colt's 1868 Richards-Mason conversion is practically celebrated?

How come the Walch 12 shot never makes these lists? Two shots, one chamber? Can you say, "Handless Hank?"

Or how about the TEC 9? Even as a kid, it reminded me of a toy gun that shot real bullets...  Even though they looked cool, I wouldn't have wanted one....

And Volcanic Arms.... Yeah, I know, They were the forerunner to two successful companies, but jeez, they don't look like something you get at the gun store, they look like something you find in the "AS SEEN ON TV" section at the drug store....

And how come the 1857 Smith & Wesson gets credit for being the first cartridge revolver, when it was really the 1846/1858 Lefaucheux?

My StepDad just passed away...

He'd been in decline since late December...

Hate to hear this.  I buried my Dad five years ago this summer . . . still miss him.

Oh gosh, that's grim news. My sympathies to you and everyone who was part of his life.
