Got a kick out of those sparks. A typical LED string of lights is 4.8 watts vs. 41 watts for incandescent. Loading a 15 Amp circuit to 80% capacity allows for 300 LED strings vs. 35 incandescent.

Best of lists are clickbait but I finally took the bait. There's a lot of stinkers here and by their introductory standards regarding comedy, they should have included The Human Centipede; now that was a funny movie. Anyways, just off the top of my head, it would have been nice to see Ball of Fire and Meet John Doe. Guess I have a thing for Barbara Stanwyck. As for #1, surely you can't be serious.

Wait. . There are people in Canada who don't return shopping carts? I'm shocked. Not only do I return carts, but if the cart coral is a mess, I get it back in order. Like the author, my first job way back in high school was also at the low end in a department store and shopping carts were a huge part of the nightly routine. So I get it. It's also a nice feeling when I get the occasional thanks from that person having to shepherd all those carts back to the store. Rain, snow, slush - return those carts people!

A crane? Meh. We use helicopters.

I was a McCloud fan, so If I was you, I'd find a trail out o' here before ya get me riled up.

This brings a whole new dimension to the old timers axiom: Never trust a fart.

We also had nuclear attack drills occasionally, but no one took those seriously because we couldn't imagine actually surviving one.  

Ours were a bit more than occasional. I didn't like them - had to go into the basement and sit cross-legged facing a wall, bent over with your head down and hands clasped over your head for what seemed like forever. It was not comfortable and you got yelled at if you moved out of that position. Surviving was not on anyone's mind; we were too young to know any better. Imagine the teachers though differently but that was not something we were aware of.

I regularly make sauces, soups, and stews, and intentionally let them sit a day or two. I guess that means I sometimes have leftover leftovers.

I thought Romania would have a lock on this what with their centuries of experience in dealing with vampires, et.al, But sure Hungary. They are just as involved.

Level 21: CRAFTCHA. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do here.

Lightweights.

Guitar Olly. More like Slash Jr. On Bohemian Rhapsody: I did not that song when it first came out, and over the years liked it even less. But after 10,000 covers, variations, and adaptations, it has really grown on me. They're all so lively, eclectric, and exuberant, what's not to like? Everyone's having so much fun. . .
