I have friends and family with diverticulitis who I buy the buttered popcorn ones. I had to have a discussion with the management of IMAX once about them complaining about his jellybeans.

I have NEVER been stopped and bothered by management about the things I brought into a theater; and that included one epic day when I and Helena brought Chow Fun into a Star Wars pre-quile and stunk up the joint from the front row-right.

For those who where there, and ONLY those who where there that day- I'm sorry... sorry we didn't share...
I come from a long history of taking what I want to the movies, and that includes planning ahead and involves stops to buy real chocolate, trips to Bev-Mo, and last century, as much as almost four decades ago- ingenious devises that allowed imbibment of a certain herbal substance. Without a visible flame.

These days I still enjoy a quality chocolate and on occasion, popcorn, but paying 4 and 5 dollars for a soda hurts my one good feeling.
It's stupid and I choose, personally, not to participate.

That said, I'm pretty much past the days of accidentally kicking over the empty class container and having it roll down hill, under everybody else's feet, towards the front of the house...

PS- I'd love to have Dinky in my back pocket and be able to play the more diplomatic front man that smoothes things over-

only sometimes you have to take a beat, stop the dialog and glance back at the rest of your party to illustrate why its going to be a really, really bad idea to continue with the current bureaucratic hold up...

Yeah, but they probably won't want to deliver. If you want take-out, you can drive up there yourself and pick it up.

Just drive until you get stuck in a snowdrift, then fill your trunk and turn around and drive home.

I know. I'd like it for a while if only to give them a breather.

Dave, you can't hide in the pun vault forever! When it boots ya, I'll be waiting! :evil: :twisted:

My morning and afternoon.

The second I walked outside, it went, "doink!" transforming from the straight setup I had to poofy curly, goes everywhere frizz. I spent forever setting it straight. Went back in and rescrubbed it, trying to at least tame the frizz. Walked outside and, "doink!" Poofy curly, frizzy.

Now to top it off, that darned white streak I've had for over three decades refuses to stay hidden(doesn't take a dye, has never taken a dye, and pulling them out was worse after they grew back...shut up Shneekey, I don't wanna hear it.).

Just out of curiosity, where is that white streak that won't take a dye?

If I understand correctly, think the X-Man character Rogue. I occasionally tease her with cajun-accented commentary, since I am at least part cajun. Which typically ends about as poorly as you'd think.

I once accidentally saw a Rule 34 version of Rogue - it was made obvious that both her hair colour and the streak were completely natural.

I was thinking more along the lines of Polgara, but I think both of their hair streaks are in the same spot.

that's OK... THIS GUY will ship it to you... :shock: and YES.. this is a "legit" company... an entirely screwy niche to say the least... but it IS legit, you pay and he'll ship, at least as recently as the 22nd of this month on his twitter account...

they may be legit, but that seems like a rather expensive proposition... Than again, depending on your location, driving (or taking a train, bus, plane, whatever) to a snow-bound area to bring snow back may just prove to be just as expensive, so who knows...

Yes, these are habanero peppers.

Yes, that's my hand - and i have a 9" span.

No, there were bigger ones in the box - these were the biggest ones on top before i began looking for somewhat smaller ones.
