No, not really I suppose. I meant to say “the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November“, but, well… I didn’t do it right.

“The Tuesday next after the first Monday in November” is the US’s Election Day.

I honestly don’t know why, but I want to hear what it sounds like when they use the bow on a fiddle other than their own.

It would likely sound terrible, but it might be funny to watch them try it.

And if it’s nature that catches your interest, in addition to walking, you could follow a live stream of some animal you may or may not care about.

I got into watching an Osprey hatch her eggs on a stream. Didn’t even know about the birds until I started, but the hook set quickly.

Watched that feed for weeks, checking to see who’s been eating, who’s been pooping, & who’s still sleeping. Pretty satisfying by the time the chicks left the nest.

I want to see one of those Street Fighter smash up the car mini games, but it’s Bobby & you have to repeatedly kick someone in the nuts while screaming “DON’T TOUCH MY PURSE”.

And voting? Always felt November 4th should be a paid holiday.

Awesome idea, btw.

You should submit voice samples to casting agencies that land voice over talent for commercials, and other media formats.

You don’t need an agent or anything of the sort to get started, just a decent sample of your vocal work.

Get it submitted wherever you can, you’ll never know what might come of it.

I was a post production supervisor in Los Angeles for a bit. I worked with VO talent, many of whom had entirely separate careers.

One guy was a bus operator & rode his bus to the studio after shift change. He was awesome.

Partially used, or missing one item out of the set.

And if you really want to drive it home, make sure he knows you kept the one item to use yourself.

It wasn’t critically praised, but the film did almost triple its budget with its box office gross.

I think that puts this film in the overrated hit film category.

It wasn’t critically praised, but it did almost triple its budget with its worldwide gross.

It also got a shit ton of attention for that stupid Puff Daddy song with Jimmy Page.

I’d say this film fits the thread perfectly, if you consider profit to be high praise.

What if he was preemptively planning his complaints? You know, studying flight paths, departures, & arrivals, then just delivering 57 unique complaints each day with one phone call?

“Look… I know Quantus 617 leaves for Houston at 5:45, the 974 at 3, 452 goes at 4:12, & the 889 heads out at 9pm.

Yep, that’s right.

Uh huh.

Yes I fucking know it’s only 8am. Those flights WILL be too loud & I expect you to take my complaints immediately!”

I’m right there with ya pal. Everyone thought I was gay growing up, but I liked boobs enough, I had a pair installed.

You should try it, they’re great!

“Get out back & motorboat Doris. If you’re not at least at half mast, no beer.”

I’m tempted to go in there as a trans woman & try to convince them to give me free beer because they think I’m a dude. Given that I like women, by their logic, that just makes me a straight guy dressed like a woman, ergo… FREE BEER!!!

Grilled Peanut Butter Sandwiches are definitely a thing & quite delicious. I’m just not sure I’d ever add cheese to the flavor pallet.

In high school, my friends & I got really stoned after our band performed one night.

We mocked up some NASA letterhead, pulled out the phone book, & proceeded to create dozens of signed & sealed official correspondence from the space agency.

Every letter read:

Dear Jerry,

You’ll never be an astronaut.

Love, NASA

…now I kinda want to do that with this butter box trick. Just randomly select a dozen or so mailing addresses & send them one of these with no other explanation.

I know Covid played a big role & economy supply chain blah blah blah…

What I want to know is how much of the bankruptcy has to do with Brad’s Wife?

I’ve found that with proper care & paying attention to what I use each bag for helps.

If I use a bag say for tandoori chicken sous vide…

When the chicken’s done, I rinse the bag thoroughly, fill it to ¼, add a lil soap, seal it up, & put it back in the sous vide bath, while it’s still warm.

Let it cool off & then give it a rinse & scrub, before drying.

It’s gentler on the bag than the dishwasher, but still gets it sanitary & clean.

I’ll try to continue using that bag for chicken, if not specifically tandoori chicken.

This is where having two different colors can be helpful. I use gray for meat & blue for everything else.

Blue bags obviously last a bit longer, but this current batch of gray is a year old & still in decent shape.

Just went with a generic option. I have some that have blue zip tops & some with gray.

The one big recommendation I can make is to get one with a battery powered suction pump. They’re little bit more expensive, but the handheld pumps have broken on me in the past.

This is the latest brand I purchased.

Reusable, vacuum sealable ziplock bags. Cuts back on waste & lengthens the shelf life of most foods.

It’s also really nice to be able to buy bulk meats & be able to separate them into vacuum sealed single servings.

And last but not least, it really helps with using the sous vide. I like being able to separate a bulk package of chicken into individual meals with different marinades. Just pull a bag out & defrost it, then it’s 90 seconds a side to gourmet meals midweek.
