Falling Down (10/10) Movie CLIP - Fore! (1993) HD
  • That movies was so good. I was a teenager with testosterone levels pushing towards psychopathy. I thought he was the hero of the story even after it was over. My mom (I guess correctly) thought he was the bad guy.

    My cousins and I still quote that movie a lot, though its even less PC now than it was back then. "Now THESE are Vietnam Jungle Boots! They're great for..." Back in the day we would scream that shit at each other, now I'd cringe so hard I'd probably pull a stomach muscle.

  • Four-day week for workers under Labour shake-up
  • We’ve been doing 4x days at 9 hours, with an 8 hour Friday, and then taking every other Friday off.

    It’s still 40 hours but it’s something at least. I’d love to get down to 32 hours a week but I don’t want my pay to suffer. The Brits or the EU would have to do it first before the rest of the world might even think about trying it.

  • Where is my room
  • In my experience 12 year olds are pretty impervious to temperature fluctuations. Little bastards dive into freezing water like it’s nothing and run around in the scorching sun, not even noticing that they sweat through all their clothes.

  • What are some fun ways to prank an asshole neighbor I'm moving away from?
  • Order some joke/fake lottery tickets. One of the ones where every ticket wins $30k. Drop one on his driveway before he heads to work in the AM for him to find. I've only done this to two people and they both fell hook, line, and sinker for it. One lady was calling her husband to come pick up the winning ticket to keep it safe.

  • Thanksgiving food is overrated
  • We started doing Fondue for Thanksgiving instead of the traditional dinner. Its special and it tastes good and some years we discover new cheese combinations that work great. For Xmas we do a whole chicken leg with the little chef's hat cover on the end of the leg bone.

    Agree that traditional Thanksgiving meal sucks. No matter what they do to a turkey, brine it, deep fry it, baste it, it still tastes like turkey.

    One thing my wife does well though is pumpkin pie. She does this cheese soufflé style pumpkin pie that is light on sugar. Its so good. The only problem is that it is visibly indistinguishable from a supermarket bought crappy sugary pumpkin pie.

  • Who Wants To Be A Lemming
  • In my teens I watched NBA basketball religiously.

    In my twenties I was a huge MLB fan.

    In my 30s I watched the NFL every weekend.

    In my 40s I have athletics daughters and I watch them play and I also watch women's soccer.

    Does it help that the US women are a dominant force in the international area whereas the men are just "no longer a joke".

    Yes, yes it does.

    When my highschooler was younger we'd go watch the Washington Spirit at the Soccerplex in Germantown.

    It sat about 4,000.

    This summer I travelled back to the US and caught a Spirit game in the new stadium in Baltimore. Holy shit what a big difference.

    The crowd now had 19,000 in attendance.

  • Cat ownership in Europe
  • For the rest of my life.. I'm going to use the emoji in place of the name of the country. Which lets be honest, even if I live another 60 years will only be like two times maybe.

  • The Borderlands Movie Is Seemingly Struggling To Sell Tickets
  • I could have gotten over the minor disparity because they needed a good actor, but that script was a completely butchered hack job. Anyone who made decisions on that movie should be excised from the entertainment industry.
