And that chase involved a SUBWAY TRAIN.

Well maybe Brady.

Bullitt, The French Connection, and The Seven-Ups were all produced by Philip D'Antoni with stunt driver Bill Hickman driving in all three movies.

Gene Hackman said in an interview that he thought Bullitt had a better car chase than The French Connection.

“As for the car chase, there was a better one filmed a few years earlier with Steve McQueen,” Hackman told the Post by email.

Ever eat the same thing for lunch and dinner? Not leftovers, but two separate meals that are the same thing? I got burgers for lunch today not knowing dinner was gonna be burgers.

Agenda:

1. Learn to fly
2. Fly away!

That has never really bothered me. Food is food. If it happened regularly, I'd get annoyed but otherwise, I don't usually care.

Hubby on the other hand, will not eat the same thing within a few days, and hence, most of our leftovers go bad. I usually end up eating them for lunch for the next day or after. Then he'll get mad when he asks, 5-7 days later, where the leftovers went. He won't eat the leftovers for days but seems perfectly OK with risking food poisoning later on.

I placed an order for in-store pickup, picked it up and now I'm getting emails saying my order is still waiting for me. Which means the employee didn't properly check me out and the order will be canceled in a few days, meaning I won't get charged for it. Would you say something? Would the fact that this is a giant chain company affect your decision? And if I do say something, does the employee get in trouble?

I once had McRib for three out of four consecutive meals (they didn't serve them for breakfast).

Remember when we thought 21” was a big TV?

And we were constantly fiddling with the color controls to keep faces from going green or purple. (On the TV screen, I mean.)

On a totally unrelated note, all modern microwave ovens have turntables to ensure the food cooks evenly. So why do the directions on frozen microwave meals tell you to stop part-way through cooking, stir or rearrange the food, then finish cooking? Not only that, but sometimes the directions are oddly specific, e.g. "Rotate the meat patty 90 degrees clockwise." If I rotate it counterclockwise, will the food explode?

Because the food makers know that the company breakroom is still equipped with the one bought in the 1990s?

...and rotating the antenna to bring in the 4-5 VHF/UHF channels, I remember having to go outside having to physically rotate the pole and Dad would yell "that's it! No go back. Bingo!". I thanked gawd when we got an electrically controlled indoor antenna rotater.

Explode? No. But it will taste counterclockwisey, and you wouldn't want that.

Now if you accidentally rotate it 100 degrees, then it will explode.

The really scary thing happens when you rotate it 36 degrees to port....

Figuring out port vs starboard always used to screw me up. until I got it Right.

The easy way to remember: PORT and LEFT both have four letters.
