    The mild annoyances thread!

    I'm annoyed at myself, today. Hey, @Diabolical? I'm sorry for my Full Metal Jacket post yesterday. I sometimes get these ideas that amuse me in the context of whatever I happen to be thinking at the time, and I tend to forget to look at them as to how someone who isn't me might read it as is...

    The mild annoyances thread!

    I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it, it was just a fun scenario I had in my head.

    who should play Mister Rogers in the biopic?

    As an SNL skit, yeah. But in all seriousness, I think Trejo would actually be pretty good at it these days, if rougher than Fred Rogers was.

    The mild annoyances thread!

    Oh, lord and lady, Dia, please forgive me, but I couldn't get this out of my head when you talked about the Showcase Square and I got to wondering how someone higher in the command chain might get to do it: "What did I just walk into? I've been on my shift for ten seconds - if that - and I find...

    In this episode of 'Things That Piss Me Off'.........

    Had it. It's all right. It's a muted taste, and me, I prefer a brighter taste in fresher green so while I'll drink it if offered and make all the appropriate impressed noises while I do I wouldn't buy it for myself.

    Chocolate

    I agree. I kind of regret spending as much as I did. Still, I never expected even the Tony's here, so I'm going to keep my eyes open for other brands that might show up! Yeah. It tasted a lot like the Lindt I usually get, but I get twice as much Lindt for the price of a Tony's, so you know...I...

    The mild annoyances thread!

    O1? That's a....Second Lieutenant if I got that right? And you're a grizzled civilian aux dealing with kids so fresh they're the color of their shoulders-damp uniform? So, on one hand I'm guessing it gets to be “Don’t touch that, you don’t know where it’s been!” and not “Don’t touch that, you...

    who should play Mister Rogers in the biopic?

    I'm with Da Xiang on Tom Hanks for a biopic. For a show reboot, though, make the Neighbourhood an inner-city one, and Danny Trejo'd be my pick.

    Chocolate

    So, the London Drugs here got in a batch of Tony's Chocolonley, and I thought, "Why not? I'll treat myself just this once!" So I bought a bar and it's....all right. It's pretty good, far better than a Nestle or a Hershey bar...but I have to admit I kinda expected more from it for the price.

    Based on some of the posts here, I think we need a War Stories thread. :)

    You’re likely already infected with a brain-eating virus you’ve never heard of

    "...and the final days of humanity were marked - not with a bang, nor a whimper - but with plaintive cries by people who no longer could even ask 'Where am I...?' but could only sit clustered by windows staring bewildered at a world they no longer recognized, each alone, and afraid."

    Microsoft keeps insisting that it’s deeply committed to the quality of Windows 11

    Good. Even something is better than nothing. Now, Microsoft, please... commit to killing Recall!

    Chocolate

    I think it's the chocolate. It's like a warm hug while wrapped in a blanket on a cold night.
