Cigarette ashes. Back in my college/law school days there was a diner called Dan's. Dan was a cadaverous looking guy of about 65 and his wife Emmie was a short heavy set woman about the same age. Dan would be cooking up a giant pile of scrambled eggs while a cigarette hanging from his lips. Every once in a while the ashes would get too heavy for the end of the cigarette and fall into the scrambled eggs . He just kept scrambling them . Added roughage I guess

Key, belt buckle, countertop edge, screwdriver, old steel car bumper? What are some ways the Horde has opened a beer bottle?
You'll have to do some bingling to see that I'm not making this up but underneath the side cover of Victory motorcycles was a steel plate with a cutout that was allegedly intended to be used as a bottle opener because why the hell not. One time a buddy and I were in the garage with a couple of Guinnesses and I decided to try it. I sprayed my whole engine with beer and we both about died laughing.

Didn't Springsteen call himself "a rich man in a poor man's shirt" in one of his songs?

86 Springsteen has some good songs. I don’t think he warrants anywhere near the love her gets though. I leaned long ago to separate the art from the artist. Otherwise I’d never listen to any music or watch any TV/movies.
Posted by: Its Go Time Donald The same. I still throw on a Springsteen CD and listen. I blame nostalgia. Michael Stanley was way better than Bruce, but MSB never got big. Damn shame. Posted by: Puddleglum at work at May 24, 2025 10:38 PM (gcUgZ) 102

Do you need a bottle opener anymore?
Yes. Still a lot of bottles with pressed, non-screw tops. I have one can opener/refrigerator magnet in the shape of a jazz horn on my fridge. I bought it in New Orleans when I discovered that the six-pack of Topo Chico Id bought needed a can opener. Id left my normal travel can opener home because Id wanted to avoid having to check any luggage, and do you really need a can opener any more?

I was more of a Belinda Carlisle mullet and popped-collar on my cropped denim jacket girl in the early 80s. I may or may not have had a pair of Hammer pants, that I got at Mens Wearhouse, where much wailing and gnashing of teeth commenced as all the young men and their very much not young and clearly rattled manager tried to figure out if I was allowed to try them on in the dressing rooms. Apparently they had never had a girl trying on clothes there prior. They ultimately decided to ask all the male customers to wait outside the store 🤣🤣🤣 whilst I pondered my look in the dressing room!

The only Springsteen I have are the first two, and I prefer the second over the first. Only sold one album in my life, to a college roommate: 'Born To Run'. Still proud of that.

My hair never got that long in the 80s. No mullett either. My Mom was NOT a fan of that. If it got too long, off to the barber I went. I understand. My hair was mostly an unruly mess. Never had a decent school picture. Even if I combed it, it still looked like I had just woke up. I never used any hairspray. Stuff seemed like a good bug killer. I was a boring dresser. Jeans, t-shirt, etc. I'd wear a sweat shirt or flannel shirt in the winter. Hair isn't an issue anymore. It's just not there now. Went down the drain.

At one point, all his buddies were up dancing and "Norm" was sitting by himself, so I decided to ask him to dance but it was not to be. Wish I could have said that "one time, I danced with Norm."

Battleground is a far better Battle of the Bulge movie than the later Henry Fonda version was. Iirc a lot of the 101st airborne are extras in that movie..
The director and writer made a very effective choice in that one - rather than try to tell the story of all the battlefield movements and the big strategic plans, they tell you what it was like hour by hour for one platoon stuck on the front lines through the whole thing - including the fact that a lot of the time, even they didn’t know what was going on.

I've had that stand-up joke lined up forever (1/9/2006). Glad you posted that. I think the ending of mine is better.
MUJIBAR Mujibar was trying to get a job in India. The Personnel Manager said, "Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass it you cannot qualify for this job." Mujibar said, "I am ready." The manager said, "Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green." Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, "Mister manager, I am ready." The manager said, "Go ahead." Mujibar said, "The telephone goes green, green, green, and I pink it up, and say, 'Yellow, this is Mujibar.'" Mujibar now works as a technician at a call center for computer problems. No doubt you have spoken to him. Posted by: Ciampino - remember always at May 25, 2025 12:23 AM (sPQoU) 277

First time I met my future father-in-law was at a Christian girls' camp where his barbershop quartet was the "entertainment" on Saturday night. His daughter, who I would befriend in high school, shared a cabin with me and wasn't sure about her dad giving her a hug in front of everybody (we were in eighth grade). Turns out the one song they sang that I remember was prophetic: "I'm My Own Grandpa" is kinda true because Pooky's great-grandfather was the last in line of a bunch of people marrying each other, dying after having kids, and their widow(er)s marrying another person. Here, let the Muppets illustrate the family I married into: https://youtu.be/gkiOm-vmpcY Posted by: pookysgirl can bring The Muppets into anything at May 25, 2025 12:33 AM (Wt5PA) 287

So Henry Fonda and co. made a Battle of the Bulge movie with no snow in it. Posted by: Tom Servo at May 25, 2025 12:33 AM (buOX2) 289

Battle of the Bulge is another WWII story that would make a spectacular movie without any modifications from pathetic Hollywood writers. Think the horrendous movie of that name had a small budget, hence the complete lack of even a head-fake towards verisimilitude in anything. Well, the Panzerlied was sung with verve, and panache*.
The movie Patton did a decent job of replicating the proper setting and conditions for that battle, but it was a chapter in a longer story. * 100 quatloos to anyone getting the reference Posted by: rhomboid at May 25, 2025 12:43 AM (1m82a) 294

Tom Servo a movie structured the way you describe Battleground, but telling the true story of the lightly armed intel unit at St Vith that ended up delaying the German advance on a key axis right at the start, would be a perfect story to tell.

The bottom of a Bic lighter. You can tell people who use this method because they're always smokers and there are notches at the bottom of their Bics. So, I ordered some geezer sheets from Mike Lindell on May 16. Since then, I have received 54 emails from MyPillow and none of them are telling me that my order has shipped.

Years ago, one of my buddies was so drunk at the Testicle Festival he was back pedaling down the road away from the sheriff taunting, 'you can't catch me, fatty!'
That was until a deputy wrapped up his arms from behind and suplexed him into the asphalt. We tried to bail him out, but the sheriff made him spend the night in the drunk tank. Posted by: Rev. Wishbone at May 25, 2025 01:06 AM (edyqT) 307

"That awkward feeling when you're driving and you wave to your friend in another car. Except it's not your friend."
When I moved down here to SC, I eventually understood that driving past someone I know without noticing and waving is considered bad form. The fact is that I rarely pay attention to other drivers when I'm on the road, and I don't keep track of what kind of vehicles the neighbors drive. So I've developed a crude formula for waving only when I'm on the road within a mile of my home. I do a kind of Major Hochstetter flap of the hand at any single car that I pass.
