5 seconds into the trailer at the cinema today, I knew it was this gem from Neatorama circa 2008. This movie is going to be so much fun and dramatic, too! Cheers, JC

Three Russian guys admire another guy's car at a gas station. One offers to buy it, but the car's owner refuses. Dejected, they go to the Red Circle and drink champagne in the spa until they forget all about it. Eighty-four people and one dog live happily ever after.

The outdoor humorist Patrick McManus (RIP) wrote about "Whatchagot Stew", which is what gets made when everyone arrives at the hunting camp and tosses whatever foodstuffs they brought along into the communal pot. Just looking at the result isn't very safe, much less eating it.

Back in the day, the shape of ends was indicative of the canning line and thus the contents. e.g. Fruit was never canned on the same line as meat.

You could have a navigation system without the GPS satellites. You'd just need the map data, a compass, a way to tie into your car's odometer, and some way to orient the system one time... the latter could be a person inputting the approximate start address, or a camera pointing out the window reading street signs once in a while.
The magic of smartphones is that they got huge economies of scale for equipment that can do all these things, driving the price down from thousands of dollars, to trivially inexpensive. The business models of subsidizing the equipment with the monthly service plan, and manufacturers selling at a loss to try and break into the lucrative market also greatly help drive prices down to the point you can pick one up for $30 today.
