That sounds incredible. Cannot wait to ask permission to leave my house, assuming I have earned my credits and haven't done anything to upset anyone. Then, get in the queue to wait for my allotted cab to take me for rehydrated food and a stop by the Joy Division.

Ripley on Netflix - WTF

My first impression was that Dickie and Marge are too boring and unattractive compared to the movie. I'm watching second episode and Freddie just showed up, but instead of PSH, it's a weak voiced woman with an English accent (playing a man???). What the frick are we doing?

Also recall a Tales from the Crypt with Don Rickles as a ventriloquist whose tiny, deformed brother was the doll and he got angry and attached himself to Don's hand, or maybe Don's replacement's hand, and the full sized man had to take an axe and cleave the small brother smoove off his arm. Ghastly.

There was a Tales from the Darkside episode where a woman's bed would eat her male companions after copulation that I recall. I think she met her match when a man's refrigerator ate her at the end, unless I'm misremembering.

I think it was an Amazing Stories episode where a kid had a Shadow Man living under his bed that at first terrified him. The he encountered some street toughs and the shadow man beat the shite out of them. So then he got big and bad and would go around and start shite to watch his shadow man beat arse. And then at the end, he picked a fight thinking Shadow Man would step in, but as the Shadow Man grew closer, the kid asked the hell was up; Shadow Man wasn't supposed to hurt him, and the Shadow Man responded that he was someone else's Shadow Man. Haunted a young Sidetrack Silvera.

This is the most Mobile thing ever. I hope it passes and I hope they put out signage.

I detoured from Lafayette en route to BR to go to Suire's recently. No regrets whatsoever. The beat up roads add to the ambience.

Drive to Kaplan and go to Suire's.
Back before we lived under this oppressive surveillance regime, there was a serial shitter at Our Lady of Mercy. Door handles, coat rack areas and walls. He varied his modus operandi sufficiently to cover his tracks. They assumed he was letting the shite out of his pants leg, but the could not catch the perpetrator. He proved to be very elusive, and was dubbed, "The Phantom Shitter." It was like Jack the Ripper. Sure, the investigation resulted in a few suspects, but there was fear of how high-reaching the implications of an apprehension might bring. They never caught The Phantom. Some say he's still up to his old shenanigans.
There's a thread on OT right now about a guy who died on the shitter. Didn't take long for Elvis to be mentioned.
