I liked My Mother the Car. It ran for a full season too.

My first thought was uh-oh. If they're doing this perhaps it should be a straight to streaming type release. But smart advertising and it looks like it'll be good for a few weekends of movie leadership. As for Liam who I think previously announced he was done or taking time off from the bad-ass genre, he does have a particular set of skills. He was half-way to full-blown comedy with an admirable performance back in Love Actually so this could be a good first step in that direction.

Meh. My memory of Warheads is that they were just like every other sour candy. An initial burst then nothing but a sugary hard candy. Maybe I'll give them another try. Full disclosure: a lifetime of extreme candy along with hot sauces that are rather high on the Scoville Heat Unit scale has already rendered my taste buds rather iffy. If you know what I mean.
In other news, the UK Food Standards Agency has declared Jolly Ranchers as unsafe to eat. Something about chemicals and cancer. No word if a whole bunch of rats had to be sacrificed in order to make that claim. Personally, I don't care much on this either. When it comes to Jolly Ranchers I'm with the dentists, mainly because I've always considered them a mostly useless candy.

He's dead Jim. If you know what I mean.

NSFW But this immediately reminded me of this scene from HBO's The Wire. If you can't handle the F* word and its many variations, don't go there.

Bunk and McNulty are sent to investigate an old crime scene. At the scene, they communicate using only variations of that word (+/- 38 times) as they recreate the murder and find a shell casing and bullet that previous detectives missed. The crime was based on a real life murder and the 'dialogue' was inspired by crime scenes writer David Simon had visited where the detectives would communicate with each through swearing.

Youtube says no, but you can read more about it and see through this article: https://wwrdeepdives.substack.com/p/the-greatest-scene-in-television

What Makes Miracle Whip Different From Mayonnaise?1) It isn't mayonnaise 2) It sucks

It is welcomed basically nowhere in anything I consume. And hats off to Matthew Inman. Didn't think he had it in him given his freakish obsession with Sriracha.

Good read. Really liked this movie when I was a kid.

Stop whining, it's showtime! If it bleeds we can kill it; now git to da choppa!

Lakes absorb carbon dioxide; sometimes lots of it. Other times CO2 finds it way beneath a lake bed through underground streams or fissures. Something needs to happen to force the carbon (dissolved or otherwise) to the surface. In science, it's called a limnic eruption. It's a rare event usually caused by landslides or earthquakes in which the CO2 suddenly erupts from deep lake waters and forms a gas cloud that settles around the lake and asphyxiates anything in the area. Crater lakes are especially susceptible because of prior volcanic activity, and their enclosed nature makes it really dangerous if it happens.
Africa is no stranger to this. Here's an old Smithsonian article on Lake Nyos in Cameroon where one the most famous eruptions took place:

I have, buried away somewhere, a very old VHS of the first Star Wars aka Episode IV. In it, there are at least two scenes - when Obi Wan first comes upon R2-D2 hiding, and again at the destroyed Sandcrawler, where you can see Kenny Baker's face behind that little portal on the front of R2's dome.

Interesting read. I just picked up a box of honey grahams to make a crust for some lemon bars and a light Easter desert. The Reverend Doctor Graham and I are pretty much polar opposites with regard to lifestyle but I can make one observation: There are store brand graham crackers and Nabisco Honey Grahams. The store brands are true to Graham's vision.

Thanks for that. Now I can't get HBO's Deadwood - Requiem for a Gleet out of my head.
