OT: The Thread About Nothing CCX: Pet Emporium

[Ripshot 43]

Noice. I'm going to have to check that out.

Now that I think about it, maybe I should delete that post because the song might get deleted from history as part of the Cancel Culture we live in. It is after all, all about Santa using an Italian Donkey to pull his sleigh instead of a Reindeer

This song led me to investigate this band. They've become my favorite of the year by far. What an amazing talent. Not sure how they're not signed yet.

LOL

I think that's a Blue Velvet shrimp.

Yeah, you got it.

It's Santa. I would have thought of lines of confectioners sugar before cocaine

I know politics are forbidden, but it is now official:

I mean, I consider myself to be from Central Jersey.

When I get confused is when people from South Jersey consider themselves to be from Central Jersey.

As for north/south, the state is just a cursive 'J', draw a line through the middle & you have your North & South Jersey as defined by the RED line.

Though the philosophical problem I have with this is that people dont start "acting" like North Jersey until you get to about the BLUE line.

I'm heavily involved in the discussion on Twitter now and I'm of the mind that South Jersey starts south of Toms River. That's where things start to get a bit more Piney.

Northern Ocean County is basically Monmouth County.

I put the border between North and Central at the Raritan. New Brunswick and Princeton are Central Jersey. Perth Amboy and Piscataway are North Jersey.

I don't know the border between Central and South, maybe the Ocean/Burlington county line? Or maybe a line from roughly Bordentown to Toms River?

So I'm totally sitting a mile from this situation here in Jersey City right now.

Stay safe to anyone in JC. Shits f***ing wild.

What's it like?

I'm listening to a Police Scanner in the area. Wild stuff. Heard about them deploying a sniper team up in a building.

Stay safe

The parade of cops I watched down Kennedy Blvd. from my window included Jersey City, State Troopers, Hudson Sheriff (with the ESU ambulance bus and everything), North Bergen, and Union City.

There's a helicopter still circling the area south of my building, and still plenty of sirens in the distance. Haven't heard any gunshots [probably just out of earshot, especially inside] but you can definitely *hear* something going on.

they put snipers on top of a school near by. Apparently started in a cemetery and then ended in a Jewish owned bodega on Wegman pkwy.

shooting stopped since they apparently dropped the two shooters.

Had to work in the City on Tuesday. First time in the Freedom Tower. Was a little surprised by how overwhelmed I was being there. Took me half the day to not be completely distracted.

I noticed that the vast majority of the people working there seemed so young...I get my industry and the City in general is a young persons game but I spent a large portion of the day wondering if it was because they simply were never affected by it?

Tuesday was a dreary day and I started the day taking pictures in the rain at the reflecting pool of the name of my wife's relative who was lost at the Pentagon... probably not the smartest way to start a day that require me to spend 9 hours on the 60-somthing'th floor.

have any of you EVER heard of this? It's insane.

I didnt know there was actually a "full" movie rather than just the clips that aired in the original episode. Had to look up the why, and apparently it was meant to be the full episode, but they went a different direction.

Writer Novak cites the episode as the "most conceptually ambitious" in the show's history. More than half the episode consisted of footage from the film. Originally, the producers considered showing just the movie, but they felt that it "would feel like a gimmick or experiment", and so it was decided that the film would be intercut with shots of the office reacting to the film. In order to make the film seem as if Michael had created it, the film used was colorized in post-production to make it seem as if it were of a cheaper quality than the normal high-quality film that the series used.

EDIT: Reading more about this, it's crazy how much time & thought they put into the continuity of this thing.

I was very late to this show but having seen what I thought was every episode and then this popping up yesterday I was shocked. This was so outside of the normal realm for them.

Ideally:

Valentines: Whenever. Me and my better half don't go out for it anyway. Too crowded.
Halloween: Whenever. Though parents of kids may like weekends better. Parties happen on the weekends regardless. This year there were parties both weekends!
Cinco De Mayo: Saturday. My buddy is Mexican and throws a huge Cinco party annually. We get absolutely hammered.
4th of July: Friday. Whole three-day weekend of BBQing and drinking.
Christmas: Wednesday or Thursday. Your boss won't make you come in for one day of the week unless your boss suuuuuuuucks.
New Years Day (Jan 1st): Friday is perfect. Three day weekend to sleep off the hangover.

Christmas and New Years Day being exactly 7 days apart throws my plan into havoc though.

I just learned there's going to be a 4th Matrix movie coming out, which kind of surprised me given the ending of 3 seemed to seal the deal & explain the (then) trilogy.

Also learned that on the same day Matrix 4 comes out there will be another John Wick released, which seems kind of funny to me. I guess KR will be everywhere summer 2020.
