One of my favorites was the night the guy stole the large body airplane in Washington and started doing barrel rolls.
As his fuel got low he just “pointed the nose down and called it a night”.
Rest in peace, Sky King.
re: Backrooms Official Trailer. ETA: viral commercial added on first page.

A “mysterious” new commercial tied to Backrooms appeared on Pluto YV the other day.
Instagram Link
For those who didn’t watch, it was a 80s/90s style furniture warehouse commercial. A phone number appeared on the screen. People who called the phone number got a fax tone. If you dial the number on a fax machine, you get a flyer for the furniture store.

I saw that someone mentioned that earlier, and didn't want to sound repetitive. But you're right; it is a huge selling point.

He did. But he made it clear that Chani was is real wife and that he was only marrying Irulan for political purposes.

I renew mine so I can carry in reciprocal states that do not have constitutional carry.
Also no background check required when purchasing a firearm.

I’ve never used HK, but I have friends who swear by them. I just thought this commercial was pretty cool.

No one wants to grow old, but do women think having surgery to look like The Joker makes them look better at that age?

One of my favorite bands is Clutch. They have a song called "Escape from the Prison Planet" and one of the lyrics is

Bob Lazar's coming over
So honey clear the airstrip
And light up that stove
I had no idea who Lazar was until I looked it up. This was in the mid 90s.

re: What are your ties to LSU? Any legacy stories?

My dad went to LSU. As did my sister.
I applied to multiple universities, but I knew I was only going to LSU.
I spent a summer in Hawaii with my sister after my freshman year - her husband was in the Navy - and she tried to talk me into transferring to the University of Hawaii for a few semesters and I could live with them.
I probably should have done that, looking back.

Some of your criticisms may indeed be valid but my first instinct is to dismiss your opinions because of the extreme negative energy. All of those laughing emojis belittling what has become sort of mainstream opinion.

Captive's War book 2 comes out April 14
Posted by boxcarbarney on 4/7/26 at 10:00 am
The Faith of Beasts is the second book in a planned trilogy by James SA Corey; the same writing duo who wrote The Expanse series.
The first book - The Mercy of the Gods - came out two years ago. It held my interest well enough. A little slow in areas. But it laid solid groundwork for what should be a very interesting series.

Mercy of the Gods synopsis:
quote:
How humanity came to the planet called Anjiin is lost in the fog of history, but that history is about to end.
The Carryx—part empire, part hive—have waged wars of conquest for centuries, destroying or enslaving species across the galaxy. Now, they are facing a great and deathless enemy. The key to their survival may rest with the humans of Anjiin.
Caught up in academic intrigue and affairs of the heart, Dafyd Alkhor is pleased just to be an assistant to a brilliant scientist and his celebrated research team. Then the Carryx ships descend, decimating the human population and taking the best and brightest of Anjiin society away to serve on the Carryx homeworld, and Dafyd is swept along with them.
They are dropped in the middle of a struggle they barely understand, set in a competition against the other captive species with extinction as the price of failure.
Only Dafyd and a handful of his companions see past the Darwinian contest to the deeper game that they must play to survive: learning to understand—and manipulate—the Carryx themselves.
With a noble but suicidal human rebellion on one hand and strange and murderous enemies on the other, the team pays a terrible price to become the trusted servants of their new rulers.
Dafyd Alkhor is a simple man swept up in events that are beyond his control and more vast than his imagination. He will become the champion of humanity and its betrayer, the most hated man in history and the guardian of his people.
This is where his story begins.
Faith of Beasts sypnopsis
quote:
The monstrous Carryx empire was built by subjugation and war. Thousands of species are bound to their Sovran’s command in an endless, blood-soaked test: be useful in the eternal conflict or be slaughtered.
Dafyd Alkhor, highest among their human captives, is feared and despised by the very people he champions. Ruthless in carving out his niche in the eternal war machine of the empire, he will reshape human nature itself as a tool for their alien masters’ use. But Dafyd’s loyalty is not what it seems.
The Swarm, an agent of the Carryx’s deathless enemy, has been smuggled into the Carryx world-palace along with the human slaves. Its mission: discover a way to bring down the empire’s eternal reign. But the longer it lives among and within humanity, the more it forgets that it is a weapon.
As the human captives spread through the battlefronts of empire, the awesome power of the Carryx becomes clear. And with it, a desperate plan for their destruction.
But empires hide secrets, and even the deathless enemy may not be what it appears …

The Box
I loved The Box when I was at LSU.
I think Box Pulse was my favorite channel.
We'd get fricked up, and order random songs.
For the youngins out there, this was before YouTube and being able to watch videos instantly. The Box was a bunch of music channels broken up by genre. There was a text scroll at the bottom of the screen that gave a code for different music videos. If you wanted to watch one, you'd call a 900 number and punch in the code.
So if you wanted to watch The Offsprings Pretty Fly for a White Guy, you'd wait for the text at the bottom to scroll to that song. Say the code was 410. You'd call the 900 number and type in 410. And eventually the channel would queue up that song for you.

When I was a kid I used to sleepwalk a lot. Would often freak out my parents.
One time I had a dream that my mom was outside and calling to me.
In the dream I opened the back door to see what she wanted.
Turns out I was sleepwalking, and I really opened the back door.
When the door opened it set off the house alarm.
The blaring sound of the alarm shocked me awake.
So I'm in a dream where its bright and sunny, then I'm shocked awake to pitch darkness in the dead of night.
Scared the shite out of me.
I started running.
Ran head first into a countertop that cut my head wide open.
Got 20 stitches in the emergency room that night.
