Speaking from recent experience: if your partner wants you to come with to pick up furniture from FB Marketplace, make sure of at least one or both of these things:1) Measurements confirm furniture will fit into the back lid, or2) You have appropriate tools to reduce said furniture to an appropriate sizeBrought to you by a grey cat who had to take apart a 54" square table with a mini-philips screwdriver by iPhone flashlight in -4C temps

At least the person selling to us thought it was funny. As did the CanTire clerk my wife bought some screwdrivers from, while I was undoing most of the screws with a mini-philips.The Escape had its revenge though.Wife: hum, I think that will fitMe: let's see *starts to lower hatch saying I'm doing so*Wife: *sticks head in way to look for some reason*Me: *so surprised he didn't even think to try to block the hatch*Wife: *somehow sustains a thumb injury instead of a concussion*

@tek that put that video of him getting punched back in my head and that's what I needed to end the year a couple days early. The one set to Blue Monday was :chef's kiss:

@lilov The one you have marked IDK is Taxi Driver. Definitely fits in with the theme. Look up "taxi driver reagan" if you didn't already know.

Been re-watching Bonds again, and one of the things that absolutely drives me around the bend about the Craig fillums, is they made a big fucking deal of him playing Texas Hold-Em, to make him "more approachable." 20 years after Casino Royale, still nobody knows what a god damned river or flop is, but I have baccarat advertised to me with my hockey games. Poker? Nowhere to be seen.

That said, the Craig flicks are probably the best sequence. The Moore ones are fun and silly, but the man was too old to start with. Dalton wanted to do Craig did, but didn't get the chance. Brosnan was good, but got saddled with some shitty scripts - too bad, he and Halle Berry should have been great. And we never really got to see what Lazenby could have done with the role.

Forgot Connery. Almost as good as Craig, but as bad as Spectre was, You Only Live Twice was worse. Diamonds Are Forever could have been better if it hadn't been ruined with that homophobic ending, and Goldfinger... wasn't great either.

That said, probably the single best line in all of Bondhood was in Goldfinger: Gert Frobe, "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die! "I would hear arguments for Judy Dench's M with "If you think for one moment I don't have the balls to send a man out to die" etc, but that one's a bit long.

@Pixley @nash that is the only interpretation that makes any sense but it's still a dang weird way to put it.

@cardamomaddict oh, he went to his office chair, cleaned vigorously for fifteen minutes and went to sleep for another 20, then woke up in a forgiving mood, we're good.
