I've seen all these movies. It doesn't end well for humans and considering the current state of things I might be OK with that.

I find this stuff comical a little .we have some off the chain stuff happen here . I believe we'd fare ok in a catastrophe. Sadly We are accustomed to abnormal situations to a degree.

As a Louisiana resident, let me point out that the coverage of this story tends to overstate the part about "they came from New Orleans" and understate the part about "but this happened in Mississippi". Seeing as how Louisiana is frequently ranked 49th among the U.S. states in many education and health categories, it's important that we properly shift the blame to the state that's ranked 50th.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to state what is overstated about one state and what is understated about another state when describing the state of an unfortunate incident on an interstate.

I know if I hang on to that quote I'll find a good use for it some day.

I learned something else new today.
I learned an easy way to disable my keyboard and prevent my kit from composing her freehand (freepaw) tomes.
There's a free Mac app for the menu bar called "OneMenu" that, among other things, has a "keyboard cleaning" toggle. It disables keyboard input with a toggle button. It's intended to help when you want to clean the keyboard while the computer is still active, but I find it much more useful for disabling the keyboard when the kit is pacing in front of the computer screen during a computer session.

I've got a rare three-fer. Three posts in a row.
I notice that later today two of my favorite westerns are showing on tv.
Very very different westerns.
With very different theme songs.
Jeremiah Johnson - Theme Song
Blazing Saddles - Theme Song

We might need a Today I Learned thread, but until then, this thread will have to do.
@Billy Dat wrote a post in the Texas-Duke pregame thread about Longhorns head coach Sean Miller appearing as a 10-year-old kid in the 1979 movie The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh. He included this video (the Sean Miller factoid starts around the 2:25 mark):
The next segment of that video was about how actress/choreographer Debbie Allen and NBA player Norm Nixon didn't appear in the film together, but met on the set and eventually got married. That reminded me of how one of their sons, DeVaughn Nixon, had an acting career that started as a kid (he played Miles Dyson's son in a scene from Terminator 2: Judgment Day) and continued through the more recent HBO miniseries "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty" where DeVaughn portrayed his own father.
That took me down a YouTube rabbit hole where this explainer about the movie Pulp Fiction appeared.
The key moment is at the 1:06 mark where writer/director Quentin Tarantino typed out a wish list for casting. I usually crop images in my posts, but here's a full-sized screenshot. Apologies in advance.
Tarantino certainly plays favorites, as you see some of the same names over and over again. It's interesting that he wrote Pumpkin and Honey Bunny for Tim Roth (familiar from the previous Reservoir Dogs) and Amanda Plummer, and they ended up in those roles. John Travolta and Eric Stoltz, both in the movie, were identified as preferred second choices for Vincent and Lance. He wanted Patricia Arquette (who'd already done True Romance, a film he wrote) as Jody, but her sister Rosanna ended up in that part instead. Christopher Walken topped his list for Captain Koons, and Ving Rhames was his preference for Marcellus Wallce, and he got both.
I don't really understand how people can confuse Laurence Fishburne and Samuel L. Jackson, but based on some responses from a Halftime Trivia I did in DBR Chat a while back, it's a thing. There would have more confusion with the Jules Winnfield character, written for Fishburne but played by Jackson. ("No rappers" though. QT would rather have seen an unknown in that role.) The top of the page is cut off, but I'm guessing the list of women above the Jules section were for Mia Wallace, the Uma Thurman character. His options for Mia and Jody were color-blind casting, as were some of the men's roles, but he saw Jules and Marcellus Wallace as black and Pumpkin and Honey Bunny as white.
