The Isolated Blurt Thread XLIII : Pointless Pining for Vagina of Brie

[thør]

9am on Saturday and the generator came alive for it's weekly exercise.

Am I only one that enjoys split pea soup?

Are you kidding?

I love that shit. It'll warm yer innards and stick to your ribs on a cold winter's day.

There was a spike in homicides in 2016.

Only 39k in 60 years.

Yes, it was a little too close for comfort. People advised me to go west. I finally listened.

 

[trysail]

Watching the worse movie ever.

Pretty Woman ?

Titanic ?



​

 

[MonaLittle]

I like both of those.

 

[Saint Peter]

You people like strange food



and crappy movies.

 

[Bookishleigh]

Amoebah - you are as tediously dull (mentally and conversationally) as your root account.

Next up post a meme and we can add childish to the list as well.

(Sometimes I wonder why I bother anymore.)

I am such a cheapskate and a tightwad that, having paid the price of admission for a film, I will sit through damn near anything— I sat all the way through John Waters' Female Trouble, I watched the whole of Caligula and I made it through Le Jour et la Nuit— but Pretty Woman was more than I could take. It was akin to torture.


It was the only movie I've ever walked out of the theater in the middle. It was the most unbelievable plot I've ever encountered. The whole thing was an insult to my intelligence. It was beyond ridiculous. It blew the needle off the ridiculometer. I never saw anything that was more formulaic and predictable.


Beyond the dumb plot, I was completely unable to suspend my disbelief of Richard Gere and Jason Alexander as financiers. Those two characters were comic stereotypes. They were terrible caricatures blabbering idiotic lines written by somebody whose acquaintance with reality approached zero.


The movie about the big unsinkable ship that sank was unbelievably boring, tedious and predictable. After the first ten minutes, the remaining two hours was cookie-cuttered anticlimax. Fortunately, I suspected that would be the case, so I waited until the thing appeared on television; I didn't spend any money on it. I did, however, waste ten minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

I have the gear for that. Probably not the skills though.

And follow the coast up north!

Gear can be bought.

Skills can be taught.

But you just have to remember to keep your butt to the wind.

Alright. If you say so.

Do you have round pipes in Alaska??

Do you have round pipes in Alaska??

Many even have longitudinal holes in them. Some are even concentric!

Duct tape.

That's a point, does duct tape stick in minus a zillion degrees?

Just brush the frost off.

Been nice, but time to go dance with my grand daughter, eat a halibut sandwich and enjoy the beer fest. All y'all be safe.

I'm glad you could finally get that off your chest.

39,000 homicides: Retracing 60 years of murder in Chicago

I wonder how many were in Chicago.

The spike in violent crime that has plagued Chicago since 2016 has even more gravity when viewed in comparison with six decades of homicides in Chicago. Since 1957, the city has had homicide totals of 700 or more nearly half the time, 27 of 60 years, and has been lower than 500 a third of the time, 19 of 60 years.

To understand this long-term view, the Tribune asked two experts to give perspective as to what was behind Chicago crime decade by decade, and combed through news coverage going back to the 1960s. The Tribune turned to John Hagedorn, a professor of criminology at the University of Illinois at Chicago who has written extensively on Chicago's gangs as well as Wyndell Watkins, a retired Washington, D.C., deputy chief of police with more than 40 years of public safety experience.

I like Pretty Woman. I actually never have seen Titanic. I figured I knew the ending.
