I collect spores, mold, and fungus.

And progressive tax rates collected at the state level distributed based on student density and district need are better than both options.

It hasn’t been decades. Maybe 15 years, though. It’s coincided with the ubiquity of streaming.

Before Netflix was everywhere, a movie could bomb in theaters and still make up the difference on the back end. Kevin Smith’s Clerks and Mallrats are great examples of movies that absolutely cleaned up on DVD sales. Comedy Central using advertising money and licensing Office Space for 20 hours per week is part of why the producers trusted Mike Judge enough to make Idiocracy.

But steamers don’t pay nearly as well as direct-to-consumer home video or as well as advertising-supported licenses. So producers are disincenrivized to do mid-budget movies or take chances on new IPs, because if it doesn’t do well in theaters then they’re not making the money back.

Either this comment is also misogynistic as all hell, or my mother was very masculine.

That last point is why I couldn’t play Fallout 4. My son was kidnapped, my spouse was killed, and I need to find out who did it and where they are! Right after I save a library, build a town, and solve some detective mysteries, I guess.

I bought one when they first came out, and one when they did the $5 liquidation sale when they were discontinued. I wish I’d bought more, just to be safe.

A buddy of mine got “OUCH” on the inside of his lip. Ironically, it hurt a lot less than the piece on his shin.

And Bo Duke was from upstate New York.

When I was in high school, the girls’ running team made shirts that said, “Fast girls have good times.” It’s been more than twenty years, and I still think about how funny that double-entendre is.

So, yeah, you would’ve sold a lot more weiners.
