Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

Supervising ESL test scoring today. One poor test-taker was trying to describe early humans using stone tools to prepare food, and how stone knives were used in the preparation; the preparing of food damaged the knives, etc.

Only this poor student didn't know the word for prepare and kept saying "prepuce" instead. :guffaw:

Talk about your "unfortunate errors."
 
There is some police activity (And they called it a crime scene) on my street happening right now. Today just keeps getting better (sarcasm).
 
What the hell is up with this "Barbieheimer" crap?

I mean, who got it into their heads that they really needed to see Oppenheimer and the damn Barbie movie ON THE SAME DAY? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. So stupid it's funny. :lol:

Oh, and speaking of which, best line in Oppenheimer: "Don't let that crybaby back in here." :guffaw:

I went to see Oppenheimer. Haven't seen Barbie yet. I think that whole thing got a little overwrought.

The marketing worked. Barbie has the biggest box office this year.

Now, I’d go see a movie, where Barbie gets nuked.
 
Oppenheimer IS a great film. I like it more every time I think about it.

It's exactly the second Christopher Nolan film (other than Inception) I've ever seen. :lol:

And not in a million years would I have ever recognized Robert Downey Jr...
 
I stopped to visit with one of one of the horse ladies on my bike ride this morning, and our conversation took a bit of an odd turn.
While I was petting her horse and talking to her his penis "dropped" and she pointed it out, and we discussed it for a few minutes. Not in a weird or creepy way, just a very casual matter of fact way, not all that different from how had been discussing the weather earlier.
It didn't really strike me until I was riding my bike away that some people might find it odd that we were so casually discussing her horse's penis, while it was hanging out barely a foot away from my leg :lol:.
It's a pretty common thing with male horses, so you get used to it when you're around them enough.
 
I found out a little more about the police activity. I didn't get much but they asked us about a white car that was parked for a couple days. I guess they found something suspicious with it, but they were here for a long time today.
 
How the hell does the gun store run out of 7.62×39R? It's one of the most common rifle cartridges in existence.
Depends on manufacturing. For the longest time, when I did retail, we could not get in 22LR (extremely common) or 5.56 because several law enforcement agencies were purchasing it up, and manufacturers reduced their runs of 22 to meet the demand.

Just because it's common doesn't mean that production can meet demand.

I'd get use to that schtick. They've been clammoring to find some way to goad people back into theaters. Apparently, moronic meme advertising is the answer to many a Hollywood shill's prayers. It was positively everywhere, like it was a heavyweight championship fight. Complete nonsense & that my friends is our bread & butter these days,
