I finally went over and read some of what's going on with the beer drinkers. They are definitely trying to overtake this thread. The wankers.
Of course, it's the kind of friendly competition that harms no one, unlike a lot of other stuff.
I have 5 posts in the beer thread. None since 2008.
I don't think I can go back and delete them now, can I?
But for 5 posts, it hardly seems worth it.
My husband likes to have PopTarts for breakfast. Yes, still. For a long time he would keep a box of unfrosted strawberry around.
Lately, he has switched to unfrosted blueberry. I don't particularly like blueberry PopTarts, frosted or unfrosted.
There might be a correlation. (Yes, I would occasionally have an unfrosted strawberry one.)
Post 25025 was about PopTarts. But not a palindrome.
Wondering how Baby Bundaberg enjoyed his first Duke-Carolina game.
Recently I collected all of the one minute plays I have written to send them to a friend who uses them in the acting class he teaches. Yes, the One Minute Play Festival is a real thing. I've written for the Boston production of the festival. https://www.oneminuteplayfestival.com/
Titles of my plays include:
Lover's Quarrel
A Penny For Your Thoughts
Learning Lines
Philosophy 101
Goofballs
I Just Can't
Unintended Consequences
Communications Major
Lucky Hat
Know, Not Think
I Got Nothing
Cliff Diving
and (it might not make it through the filter)
Bitch Pants
And now it's time to go make myself a cup of tea. Perhaps I'll decide that maybe I do like blueberry PopTarts after all.
If I do, I suspect I will regret that decision.
Ummm, blew right past it.Quote:

I enjoy this thread for the people and randomness, and not whether it actually is the longest thread. I usually don’t read the beer thread just because I’m really a wine and spirits kind of guy. But if the posters there are fixated on passing this one, so be it. Not on my list of real world worries.
Enjoy who you are, not the titles you have.
Probably not. Stage actors are touchy about unauthorized postings of their work. If any video images exist, they are probably the property of the OMPF (One Minute Play Festival), but, if you are interested in reading any of them, I could send you a copy of the script.

And now that we are onto post 25052, I will discuss PopTarts once again.
I rarely eat them nowadays, but, in honor of the momentous occasion of reaching 25052, I think I'll go buy some of the Cookies&Creme variety as a special treat.
Missed it by this much. ;)
(The video was more appropriate, thanks Ymo.)

So many dead bodies...
Tons of stuff to do in and around Seattle so I'll throw out a coupe of themes ---Quote:

Catch a show at the Showbox or any other number of Seattle music venues. Tons of interesting music spots. Pike's Market will appear elsewhere but Soundgarden's Spoonman was inspired by a street performer at Pike's. I'm sure there are music-specific tours you could take that would hit all these spots.
If you like nature...
Do something on the water. Even if it's just a water taxi ride, try to do something that gets you a view of the Olympic Mountains. Better yet, go see them and OlympiacNational Park --- it's on the far side but Hoh is a rainforest and it's damn cool. Bainbridge Island, an Orca tour up into the San Juans. Pop out to Mt. Rainier over to the Snoqualmie Valley and see Snoqualmie Falls. Not sure if they'll be blooming in March but Snoqualmie Valley is where a lot of the flowers for the city markets are grown. Very pretty area when in bloom.
If you like corporate stuff...
You can visit Microsoft, do a tour, and arrange for a tour of the Boeing factory. Both are cool.
If you like city tourist stuff...
Seattle underground takes you to some old basements, good for history BUT it's not like a European city underground tour so don't expect that. There are Seattle ghost tours, etc.
On food, I'll just say to go visit and eat at Pike's. Winter is also great time of year for local seafood. Lots of shellfish and crustaceans are being harvested so, if you like that sort of thing, find some spots serving right-out-of-the-water-that-morning seafood and chow down. Yeah, yeah, the first starbucks and crap. Plenty of wine, breweries, that sort of thing.
That's what I got for now.
Thanks! Would spork, but apparently I'm not allowed :(

Just had the second strongest handshake of my life.
Dated a chiropractor's daughter in high school. I remember her telling me he hated limp handshakes. Valuable life lesson that first meeting was. Taught me the way to give proper handshake and also put the fear if God in me. She never missed her curfew, obviously.
A mis-timed handshake where the other person squeezes first and catches you in an unintended limp finger squeeze really grinds my gears...I always want to yell, "Do over, I wasn't ready!" but that would be even more awkward.Quote:

So I googled Saul Bellow and went back to sleep. Did not check it though until just now after coming back from the gym.
Really really random. Cannot think of anything that would have triggered that name, didn’t really know who he was (ashamed to say).
Long/short: So now I need to read a book by Bellow, and re-watch Rebel Without a Cause.

I am profoundly ignorant of pop culture. For example, watching the Oscars, I was unfamiliar with most of the presenters and I only recognized Elton John and Randy Newman of the musical performers. Sadly, the memorial portion rang more of a bell.

How does a random name like Saul Bellow -- a guy I don't even know and haven't even heard of in decades -- suddenly pop up? It's not like I ever had a conscious impression of him in the first place let alone one lurking in the subconscious.
But one thing I now know for certain -- I'm not gong to bother to read one of his books. Even if it is the great beyond and my subconscious Id trying to send me a message. Nope, ain't gonna do it. The subconscious wish fulfillment or latent content of the dream will forever remain a riddle, wrapped up in an enigma, ensconced on a bed of bacon.
In my family, it is a sure fire ribbing offense to crack oneself up and be called out on it.

Their hot tea is substandard.Quote:

Thanks. I walk about 8 miles a day every Saturday and then on Sunday so walking is no issue. Mainly thinking of getting to/from the train station; there is no Uber and I understand it the taxi drivers have a Vegas-like ability to take the long way around. Thankfully, Apple Maps allows you to pick a public transportation option on its directions which works really well.Quote:
