How did we get to page 2 without Home Alone?

Home Alone 2 is also acceptable. (And, hot take, the better movie)

I haven't seen this movie since the 90s, but man, we watched it a lot as teenagers. (I ran with the skater pothead crowd. Not particularly proud of it and glad my children are the anti-me from my youth.)

Still, I have to admit, there is a part of me that gauges "cool" on 90s fashion and music and slang to this day. Beastie Boys, Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan. Hell, I still think smoking blunts while listening to low-fi hip hop is cool, and I'm a 45 year old man who hasn't smoked marijuana in 20 years and calls it "marijuana" and likes bluegrass music.

Time really creeps up on ya...

Of COURSE NOT.

Whatever retard that decided Discovery was a big enough brand to change Warner Bros to WBD and clog up HBO with trash is directly responsible for this sale.

You know when business decisions are so bad you can point them out from your sofa in your underwear on a Saturday morning?

re: Where does this season’s LSU collapse rank historically?

Posted by thenza on 11/11/25 at 4:05 pm to Decker

It’s not even LSU’s worst collapse. 1998 was way more crushing.

I’m 1997, we had finally beaten Florida at the height of their Spurrier powers. Senior heavy team. Kevin Faulk was the best running back in the history of the program.

And then Lou Tepper happened…

From preseason top 10 to 4-7.

I still hurt…

If Star Trek can ditch its shitty sequels, surely Star Wars can too.

Kill the past. Let it die. Or something like that.

That Cobra song is pretty badass.
Kinda makes me want to sign up.

Do Cobra soldiers have coed locker rooms? Cause they have some serious talent on that side.

Sorry. Fixed the link. Just the Jones Creek location.

I worked in multiple restaurants, corporate, chain, and independent. Outback (back then at least) ran the best of all of them by far.

One GM (proprieter) and one manager. Most chain restaurants have a slew of assistant managers making next to nothing and treating the staff like garbage because they desperately need to be promoted to a general manager at another store to actually afford to live.
Family-owned restaurants are usually disorganized.

Outback treated the staff great and you could make good money for a college kid working there. This is pre 2008 though. The economy crash forced Outback to market to a different demographic that tips and pays less. It's hard to come back from that once you downgrade.

Celebrity Theater is the best theater in BR. And my wife and I go to the Indian restaurant across the street whenever we go to the movies.

But yeah, the entire Woodlawn area seems like a retirement community to me. And I thought so when I worked there in the early 2000s. No offense if you live there.
