| 21544 | Drive-Ins | I remember going to a few as a kid but unfortunately most of the drive-ins from back then are gone. One was torn down to put in yet another wal-mart and the other became a parking lot for some construction company. The others I either forget where they are or they're a zillion miles away. Just as well it's kind of awkward trying to get it on with your girlfriend when there's a rusted out 1990 Dodge Caravan full of some welfare skank and her brood of crotchfruits staring at you in the next spot over. | DirtyD79 | Jun 23, 2015 |  |
| 21543 | Favorite cars of the 80's | For me my favorite cars were the personal luxury cars, things like the Ford Thunderbird, The Mercury Cougar, and The Chevy Monte Carlo. They had a style that you just don't see anymore and pretty good performance. Those were the cars you saw in NASCAR back in the 80s. I also liked the sports cars like the fox body Ford Mustangs as well as the IROC-Z Camaros and the Pontiac Firebirds. And i liked the 2 door SUVs like the Ford Bronco, the Chevy Blazer, and Dodge RamCharger. Sure a lot of the cars didn't have the same horsepower as the vaunted 1960s and 1970s muscle cars but what they lacked in horsepower they made up for with style. Today too many cars are boring bland transportation appliances or soccermom vans. | DirtyD79 | Jun 23, 2015 | |
| 21542 | I realized something today | Yeah. People want to think that meat magically appears in a styrofoam tray wrapped in plastic. I have actually heard people say that they don't want to know about it. I think it's a big sign of what's wrong with our society. We avoid empathy for other living things, the reality of nature and our bodies, and the difference between processed and unprocessed food. Some people are so sanitized that they can't experience anything or allow kids to either. I believe this actually makes us less respectful and compassionate. Despite the apparent effort otherwise I think it is self-defeating in the long run. <br><br>I put my money where my mouth is. I was involved with the killing and butchering of a goat once, and I would do it again. Did the goat understand when I thanked it before a bullet went through its head? Highly doubtful. We talked later about how we could see when it gave up. The guy who pulled the trigger didn't want to miss. Immediate death was, we hoped, more merciful than a wound that doesn't kill and then a second, fatal hit. So that goat struggled against his ties for a while, then stopped. But I choose sustenance over suicide. And he lived a much better life than any creature bred in a CAFO, where most of our meat in USA comes from. Since learning about those, I have reduced my consumption. There is research into growing meat replacements in a lab. It's all about the taste for me and I will be happy if we can stop clearcutting rainforests and wasting water.<br><br>By the way, we are now learning that plants experience pain too. They don't have faces and we don't see them walk around, but they feel. I for one am very interested to hear more about this and to what degree plants can be considered sentient.<br> | shakin steak | Jun 23, 2015 | |
| 21541 | Marvel's Ant-Man | I have mixed feelings about this movie. Mainly because it was written by Adam McKay, writer of such great superhero action films as... Talladega Nights??? Anchorman??? Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie???<br><br>Yeah. I'm skeptical. <br> | Vaporman87 | Jun 23, 2015 | |
| 21540 | James Horner dies in plane crash. | Ahhh... that's lousy.<br><br>Horner was a really great composer. I loved his soundtracks. His Aliens score made my <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/article/show/3384/foreboding-movie-tvthemes">Top 10 Most Foreboding Movie (& TV) Theme Songs</a> article over at RetroJunk.<br><br>He'll be missed.<br> | Vaporman87 | Jun 23, 2015 | |
| 21539 | How was your day? | Second day of VBS in the books. Three more to go. Phew!<br> | Vaporman87 | Jun 23, 2015 | |
| 21538 | How was your day? | I got a new pair of shoes from Fingerhut. Red K-Swiss shoes with white stripes on them.<br> | Mr Magic | Jun 23, 2015 | |
| 21537 | I realized something today | I've thought about that myself. I could bring myself to kill and prep an animal if necessary. But if not necessary, I choose to not bother with it. Perhaps I could stand to kill/scale a fish, but that'd be about it.<br> | Vaporman87 | Jun 23, 2015 | |
| 21536 | Now I'm here | Welcome Rick. Glad to have you hang out here with us!<br> | Vaporman87 | Jun 23, 2015 | |
