Oh...that reminds me. Pep rally shakers made out of coke bottles and pea gravel....

Did 3 Liter Cokes Exist?

I feel this is one of those Mandela/Time Line thins. 3 Liter cokes were a thing and then they were just...gone.


They had those black bases you could pop off. We cut them open and made terrariums in elementary school...

Did they exist?

Did soda used to come in 16 ozs and have a styrofoam label?


Are all memories lies?

I mean...Dolph Lundgren played the Punisher and did a pretty good job.

Last one I remember was Werewolf by Night, which was very good. I was hoping it would become a yearly thing for Halloween, but Disney fumbled that.
Lewis Tan got screwed, and he's the actor I see pushing the movie the most on X. Hoping they revive him as a different character in a post credit scene or something.
Don't know what it is about his shows in particular, but I am really interested for about a season and a half, and then I just don't care to watch anymore. Nothing really happened to turn me off the shows. No favorite character died or anything like that, but it's been the same for Tulsa King, Yellowstone, Landman, et al.

Maybe it is that as the stakes are raised the characters become less nuanced and more caricature -- like the characters feel more real and developed in episode 1 than episode 12.

I don't know. Anyone else get the same feeling?

I fully expect a nationwide protest when King Charles or one of the Arab Monarchs visits.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Organizers of Saturday’s “No Kings” rallies across the country are predicting that the protests against the actions of President Donald Trump and his administration could add up to one of the largest demonstrations in U.S. history, with Minnesota taking center stage.

Organizers say more than 3,100 events have been registered in all 50 states, with more than 9 million people expected to participate.


That's an average of about 2,900 per event, right? The most I've ever seen personally was maybe a 100 people milling around a park.

quote:

Headlining that observance will be Bruce Springsteen, performing “Streets of Minneapolis,” which he wrote in response to the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and in tribute to the thousands of Minnesotans who took to the streets over the winter. Springsteen’s Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour, which has a “No Kings” theme, kicks off Tuesday in Minneapolis.[/[quote]


[quote]The St. Paul rally will also feature singer Joan Baez, actor Jane Fonda, Sen. Bernie Sanders and a long list of other activists, labor leaders and elected officials.


So, the rally will be over berfore nap time? Seriously, all the headliners are 70+?

quote:

National organizers told reporters in an online news conference Thursday that they expect Saturday’s protests to be larger than the first two rounds of No Kings rallies, which they estimate drew more than 5 million people in June and more than 7 million in October.

“This administration’s actions are angering not just Democratic voters or folks in big blue city centers — they are crossing a line for people in red and rural areas, in the suburbs, all over the country," said Leah Greenberg, the other co-executive director of Indivisible. “The defining story of this Saturday’s mobilization is not just how many people are protesting, but where they are protesting,”


I guess we'll see.

Feel free to post pics of your local senior citizen gathering. It's still a little nippy out there.

it turns out beating Mark half to death was kind of a right of passage in Nolan’s eyes. His mom did the same thing to him or actually she was worse she wanted to finish him lol. Turns out it was the dad who gave Nolan a little empathy.


I could by mistaken, but I believe in the comics that Viltrumites get stronger power wise the more they fight and become close to death. So that was Nolans first power up so to speak.

I think Trump is 50% window licking retard and 50% genius. That's honestly not a bad ratio. He doesn't know what can't be done and just makes shite work.

Whoever follows him is going to have an absolute breeze of a time.
