I know they say there is no such thing as bad publicity but I’m the type of petty that if your ad interrupts my movie I will remember you and never buy your product/service for as long as I live. I can hold a grudge for a long time and have excellent recall for names (brands) that piss me off.

Years ago one of my mom's patients moved to Alaska. She knew my mom loved moose &the first Christmas after she moved away she gifted this to my mother. It's literally made of shellacked moose poop. It is the Odenthal family's most prized ornament. We have the shittiest tree in the neighborhood! 😁😂❤️🫎

you can immediately clock WKRP fans just by seeing whose face lights up with these 10 little words: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
“WKRP In Cincinnati” premieres 47 years ago today — a show that creator Hugh Wilson based on radio staff he knew from his days in advertising.
“Every call letter that I ran through my mind was already taken,” he said. “I think WKRP was not taken because it can be said that it spells ‘crap.'”

Staying in a lot of hotels on tour, I started carrying a universal remote in my suitcase and I bookmarked the various codes/tricks to disable hospitality mode on the hotel room TVs so I could get into the settings and turn off the motion smoothing, no matter how hard they try to keep me out.
the only time i ever gave back to my community (cinephile dorks whose parents claim they can't see it but we suspect are messing with us a little)

During World War 2 over 200K Polish children were kidnapped and, if approved by SS doctors (based on hair color, eyes, nose, etc), "adopted" and "Germanified" into German families. Child kidnapping and forced adoption is nothing new.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
