Re: A Thought for the Day
An Irish comedian in the past did a tour of Canada and was asked what made him decide to do so.
"Well," says he, "I was in me pub, drinkin', when I saw this here advertisement on me coaster. 'Drink Canada Dry,' it said."
"So I thought I'd have a go."

P.S. He usually does a fake biography on April Fools' Day, One version of the Dreadnaught Affair states that the Navy sent men to demand they must cane the pranksters. This one agreed provided he could cane them back.

– J.D.In the tumult of civil discord, the laws of society lose their force, and their place is seldom supplied by those of humanity. The ardor of contention, the pride of victory, the despair of success, the memory of past injuries, and the fear of future dangers, all contribute to inflame the mind, and to silence the voice of pity.

Re: A Thought for the Day
https://i.imgur.com/kW912Jv.gif. . . the use of letters is the principle circumstance that distinguishes a civilized people from a herd of savages incapable of knowledge or reflection. Without that artificial help, the human memory so dissipates or corrupts the ideas intrusted [Sic – Ed.] to her charge; and the nobler faculties of the mind, no longer supplied with models or with materials gradually forget their powers; the judgment becomes feeble and lethargic, the imagination languid or irregular. Fully to apprehend this important truth, let us attempt, in an improved society, to calculate the immense distance between the man of learning and the illiterate peasant.

Appalled to learn that @bindelj sexually harassed me by (checks notes) making me laugh while lunching. I’ve naturally consulted lawyers, but they say my case is likely to fail at trial due to a legal loophole known as ‘this is bullshit’. Devastated. Please send more fake concern.

Re: A Thought for the Day
Any story that does not have Batman in it would be much improved by the addition of Batman.
Hamlet? He finds conclusive evidence, punches out the King, and has already administered the antidote to everyone.
The French Connection? The police, once they finally find the drugs, find the man they are searching for tied up and hanging from a flag pole outside the police station with a signed confession.
Home Alone? More punching and a stern lecture to the parents along with tracking equipment from Wayne Enterprises to avoid a sequel (a huge improvement by itself).
Casablanca? Batman. Punching. Nazis.
The Seven Samurai? All the villagers get ready at their posts, only to hear the signs of a huge scuffle throughout the night. In the morning, they find all of the bandits unconscious and stripped of their weapons. A new Wayne foundation project to eliminate hunger is announced the next week.
The Rise of Skywalker? He punches out the writers, directors, and essentially everyone at Disney.
I rest my case.

Fucking brilliant! Thanks again Pyrrho.
"Our ad agencies, design groups, film and music studios, have gone from being cottage industries and guilds of craftsmen and women, essentially unchanged from the middle-ages, to dark satanic mills of mass production."
Yep. Holy fucking shit on a shingle.
Exactly the same thing in broadcasting. Nothing but pablum for the great unwashed, but do it with about a quarter of the people, OK? And don't spend any fucking money!!!!
Stupid fuckers.

Re: A Thought for the Day
– J.D.In the early hours of the morning, Hauer re-wrote this part of the script and pitched the scene to his boss. “It was one o’clock in the morning. I was gonna be fired at 3,” explained Ridley Scott. “And then somebody says Rutger wants you. I said, ‘Oh s**t!’” Scott marched to the actor’s trailer and listened to the revised speech. “He read it, and it was great… I said, ‘that’s what we’re gonna do.’”
