The LMSWs in here are not 8 years old but nice try.

Damn, I thought I would be getting only two titles from Nova but I just watched another unboxing video for the set I was dropping and now I want it again. The third title I'm getting is less than $5 but still the shipping costs more than I'd like it to. Wouldn't be so bad if I weren't trying to catch up on stuff that I missed.

Was just messin' around, dude. Also, WTF is a LMSW?

EDIT: Never mind, Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)

Playing catchup with Blu Rays and DVDs is no fun. Things I don't want to wait on too long
Alien: Covenant Target digibook
American Assassin BB Steelbook
The Hitman's Bodyguard BB Steelbook
Jason Bourne Walmart exclusive
Kingsman: The Golden Circle Target exclusive (I think)
Dunkirk BB Steelbook (2 weeks)
The Revenant BB Steelboook

The above will be blind buys minus Jason Bourne and The Revenant. There's also a couple editions from the Nova sale that I would like. I've never gotten anything from Nova, Manta, FAC or BluFans.
And there are several of films and shows that have already come out that I want. I've been going over this in my head for too long now but that's good because it means I'm not being impulsive. Well I am but I'm just taking my time while doing it

I. did. not. know. this... Have you ever wondered where and how yodeling began?

Many years ago, a man was traveling through the mountains of Switzerland. Nightfall was rapidly approaching and he had nowhere to sleep. He went up to a farmhouse and asked the farmer if he could spend the night. The farmer told him that he could sleep in the barn. As the story goes, the farmer's daughter asked her father, "Who is that man going into the barn?"

"That fellow traveling through," said the farmer, "needs a place to stay for the night, so, I told him he could sleep in the barn."

The daughter said, "Perhaps he is hungry." So she prepared him a plate of food and then took it out to the barn. About an hour later, the daughter returned. Her clothing disheveled and straw in her hair. Straight up to bed she went.

The farmer's wife was very observant. She then suggested that perhaps the man was thirsty. So she fetched a bottle of wine, took it out to the barn, and she too did not return for an hour. Her clothing was askew, her blouse buttoned incorrectly. She also headed straight to bed.

The next morning at sunrise, the man in the barn got up and continued on his journey, waving to the farmer as he left. When the daughter awoke and learned that the visitor was gone, she broke into tears. "How could he leave without even saying goodbye," she cried. "We made such passionate love last night!"

"What?" shouted the father as he angrily ran out of the house looking for the man, who by now was halfway up the mountain. The farmer screamed up at him, "I'm going to get you! You had sex with my daughter!"

The man looked back down from the mountain side, cupped his hand next to his mouth, and yelled out...

Who's Theo?

[Scarface32]

I’m wondering why an orange is the only fruit that names its color? There are no fruits named red, or yellow, or green, or any of the other colors. We have green grapes, but no green; blueberries, but no blue. Isn’t it odd that orange is the only fruit like that?

The fruit gave the color its name, not the other way around.

That’s what "it names its color" means.

It gave the name to its color.

That's a beautiful shade of apple you're wearing

Was Theo the name of the farmer or the one that stayed the night in the barn? Theo does not sound like a Swiss name so I'm thinking it was the guest and the guest was not from Europe.

Wondering where my badge is, haven't seen it since last Friday. Think it was downstairs in which case one of my nieces or nephews probably put it somewhere. I'll ask them if I don't find it after combing my room this weekend.

[Head bugs]

Weird @orange. We need to rename it something catchy, like Tune or Rube. Tunes $1.99 a lb.

I walked into Starbucks and they were playing that song from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. I forget which one it was now. It wasn't the awesome song from Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach but another song.
Anyway, made me think that we should have been enjoying Austin Powers 10 this year.

On my way home during heavy traffic this evening, I noticed a black SUV stopped 2 car lengths behind the vehicle in front, while waiting for the light to turn green. Dark outside, traffic backed up and this joker pulls this shit...why? I can't put myself into their train of thought, this just doesn't make sense to me.

Gross, it's snowing.
