A year ago: "Halloween will be on a Saturday next year! That's awesome!"

Welp.

i can’t help but think that the element of surprise played a huge role in the success of the first Borat. Obviously you only get that once.

I think its clear how recognizable he is hurt the film a lot. Even with his costumes I imagine most people knew who it was. All the more hilarious that Rudy got played as badly as he did.

Covid itself definitely screwed things up too.

Other issue is the shocking stuff is sadly not as shocking. He didn't expose anything new about the folks at that anti covid rally as we know they are also hyper racists and conspiracy nuts sadly.

Finally pulled the trigger on a new set of irons, after much deliberation and having to come to terms with my own limitations as a golfer. I'm excited for them to arrive. Hopefully I can get some swings in before it gets too cold.

The Weather Channel, as a TV channel, is obsolete anyway. The default weather app on my iPhone is powered by The Weather Channel. I can click on it and in seconds have the weather for my area, plus the extended forecast. Why even bother turning it on?

To be frank, I apply this logic to pretty much any news or information TV channel. I could just go to (Website for your preferred news channel here) and read whatever news is there without having to sit through talking heads or infomercials. The only reason to watch these TV channels is because its on in the waiting room of the doctor's office, or for the entertainment (Read: not news or information) value of pundits debating.

That was our group of friends. We've all got kids and planned on doing the same thing we did last year but better. Didn't happen.

So you have an auto parts store in your trunk? I'm kidding but I remember you saying this a while ago and it was surprising then. I almost envy it.

You know what’s good to keep in the car? A vice grip. All purpose adjustable sort of pliers that you can fasten down into a sort of wrench.

Whether it’s pulling wires off a battery terminal to polish the connections or grabbing a bolt or nut. Best all purpose thing around.

Puscifer released their new album. Like everything what Maynard did i`m happy so much of new release in year when good releases cost gold.

All you ever need to fix ANYTHING is duct tape and WD-40.

Solid recommendation. I have an emergency kit but it's from Amazon and I'm not entirely sure it'll do much of anything if needed. Vice grip sure it's a good recommendation though.

I keep a Leatherman in each car. The tool kinda sucks for most things, but at least you can get it done.
