Notes

The Perfect Movie

Just dream with me for a moment.

"Titanic, a film by Roland Emmerich"

A Tilt What Now?

These new lenses for the Fuji GFX system don't have the same kind of movements I was expecting.

Jobo Expert Gang

I made this very niche large format photography developing method meme years ago and still have never come across a good time to use it. So whatever, here it is ready to be cut & pasted if that day should ever arise.

Incorrect Password

It really bums me out that we never get the see all the previous attempts we made when it takes seven attempts to enter our passwords correctly.

"A pinch to grow an inch. And a knock to grow a block!"

OK. A pinch and an inch are fine. I can deal with the knock, BUT. The idea of growing a block is absolutely terrifying. The modern world is no place to harbor some freak three-hundred foot tall child.

Mashup Machine

I had a dream I found a website where you could input essentially any two songs ever written, set some parameters and have it output a good sounding mashup in pretty much any genre you wanted. So I spent my night making Travis Tritt songs that mashed up with screamo renditions of "I'm a little tea pot"

Kill of The Mountain

A Strava based slasher movie where the killer seeks revenge on those who take his KOMs. Only, since anyone who can do that is athletic, each kill scene comes at the end of an intense bicycle race.

Kill of The Mountain: Your best time will be your last. Coming to theaters in fall 2021

ćąłżóńęś

If you letter jumble all the special characters in the Polish alphabet, the longest English looking word you can spell is ćąłżóńęś. I'm a big fan of this.

Nude ThunderCats

Thundercats is available on Hulu. Thus confirming the memory I've been carrying for about the past 30+ years of all the Thundercats being nude in the first episode was indeed the truth.

Cat Facebook

Cat Facebook is probably full of boomer cats sharing jpegs bitching about this current generation with their grain-free diets and how they waste all their time chasing those high tech laser pointers. They're probably all like "Why can't they just bat around a REAL ball of yarn and just lap up cream until they shit themselves like we used to?"

EDM Bird Cyborg

Every time I hear some bird that sounds like a weird EDM Bird Cyborg it ends up being a Northern Cardinal.

Dream Camera

I had a dream last night I took some guy to the cleaners playing poker and he offered to cover his loss by giving me a 6x6 TLR that had an electronic zoom lens. But I rejected it becuase the thing took 620 film and I didn't want to deal with respooling.

Asshole Design

The popup that says the asterisk in the password is ok hides the actual validation that lets me know it is not.

Mute

God bless whoever got the mute button added to Gas Station TV.

Well, I sure started this week off on the wrong foot. My mind wandered and thought about the Game of Thrones finale while driving into work today.

Blink-218

Has anyone ever considered making a band that only covers Blink-182 songs, except changes the songs to be about living in Northern Minnesota and then calling that band Blink-218?

The prologue to Minnesotans never eating the last piece of shared food is no one being brave enough to take the first piece of shared food that wasn't opened by the person who provided it.

Pajamagrams

You know it is officially the Holiday season because everything on MPR is sponsored by Pajamagrams.

Literally Died

College Girl (overheard): "I literally died,..."

Internal Dialog: "OMG. No you didn't. You're right there and very much alive."

CG (Continuing): "I mean, I haven't died in over a month."

ID: "What? Do kids these days keep tabs on how long they go between being embarrassed? Is this some D&D talk? WHAT IS HAPPENING I FEEL OLD AND CONFUSED."

CG (Holding Hair): "I think I'll dye it brown next time."

ID: "I hate words."

Cat Puke Alarm

Why do emergency alarms have such a shrill, startling tone when the gentle sound of a cat about to puke on your bed is just as effective at getting your attention?
