I meant "Catch Me If You Can"! Sorry, I always confuse those two!

The Aviator? The Fly (though he doesn't really soar when he transforms, he just gives it to Geena Davis real good one night before he deteriorates to shit)?

American Pie? I guess that's more love WITH snacks though.

Yeah! One of my favorites! You post one, you're on a roll haha!

Love this idea. A nosey fella discovers that blood is thicker than water in a city dying of thirst.

My dad was always fond of, "Nuttier than a shithouse rat." Kinda related, when trying to pull one over on him, he'd reply, "You think I just fell off the turnip truck?"

Yeah, we definitely chatted in the good ol' days. I recognized your username a couple weeks ago when you gave me advice on how to hook my headphones up to my tv. Works great and cost like $5 for everything. Thanks!

@OLDSKULL Haha no I wasn't being sarcastic. I'm the last person to criticize how anyone spends their time during this shutdown. The other day my wife was having a video conference for her job and I overheard her boss ask her how I've been doing since I got laid off and I laughed because as my wife started talking about how productive I've been, I was staring at a character I painstakingly created in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 to look as identical to myself as possible. I'm not joking when I say it took a good hour of deciding whether or not I should wear baggy or regular cuffed jeans and other stuff like that (I went with the regular cuff, btw). It made me happy seeing that blocky version of myself doing impossible trick combinations. If starting your day listening to your cd collection makes you happy then I encourage it!

That sounds like a fun, productive time! I've been trying to do the same with books I've intended to read over the years. Just working my way down the line since I have the time now. Yeah, I love all sorts of music and my choices don't really make sense either. I, too, love rummaging through bargain bins and snatching out random picks for whatever reason.

@OLDSKULL I have a bunch of tapes and cds but I like to collect vinyl. My collection is largely comprised of soul, R&B, and French pop (mostly Aznavour), but I initially started collecting punk and hardcore records. You might appreciate this...my wife's uncle was leaving his mom's apartment in Outremont one day and he overheard someone saying that Marjo threw away her record player, so he went down to the trash area, grabbed it and gave it to me! I'm not positive it belonged to THE Marjo but he said he's seen her before because she lives in the same building. Regardless, I tell people I have Marjo's record player though it's probably like how George Costanza claimed to have Jon Voight's car. Here's some pictures. It's an Electrohome Apollo 862. The am/fm tuner is shot and there's a horrible short in the speakers that takes some fidgeting in order to get balanced sound, but I love it!

@OLDSKULL je viens de Rochester, NY (dans l'ouest de l'état de NY) mais j'habite à Montréal depuis quatre ans avec ma femme qui vient d'ici.

Salut et bienvenue!

Well, dude's clearly a badass!

Please do! Damn, that's rough. Carpenters, specifically framers, are no joke. Some cabinetmakers scoff at carpenters because we usually work within a 1/16" tolerance * (though some times we work to 1/32" or in rare cases 1/64") and framers often work within 1/4", but I have so much respect for those guys. It's a dangerous job walking top plates and working on a ladder. I have done carpentry work like deck building and what not outside, but typically I'm nice and safe in a shop with my only concern being sharp blades, spinning machinery and breathing in saw dust. *I'm sure there's a machinist out there laughing at my 1/16" tolerance haha

Nice! I'm a cabinetmaker and I have a hard time letting go of stuff I've made. Old jigs, fixtures, crummy furniture and joints I made as a student; I keep it all even though I'll probably never use the stuff again. Do you have any of his old tools?
