There was some detective show where a guy was pinched between the subway and platform, basicaly he was severed in half, but still alive and cognizant. Brutal episode. I could not watch more than 10 min of it. Was that Homicide? I forget.

Yes, it was Homicide. Based on an episode of Taxicab Confessions on HBO, where an EMT shared the story of a time it actually happened. A Homicide writer saw it and incorporated it into an episode. Vincent D'Onofrio played the victim, pinned between the platform and the subway, who would only live as long as the subway car didn't move. Gut wrenching story, having his wife come down to say goodbye before they moved the train.PBS did a 2-hour "making of" special on that episode a year or so later. It's pretty good if you ever can catch it.

Also ripped by M. Night Shymalan in Signs. Only there it was a car.

That idea got ripped off in "Signs" too.

It's funny because it is true.

 

[charvik]

Finally found the last item for the SS. Package will hopefully go out tomorrow, but gm's post office story scared me.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Yeah, delivery experts: I have all stuff in a box and packed. What do I do now? Go on UPS.com? This is a non standard box, but it fit certain items perfectly, so was necessary.

[cosjobs]

Thislooks like a good new movie about the parents of bullies.

 

[-fish-]

Damn. SS package is going to go out incomplete, as one item hasn't shipped yet and now has a delivery estimate of Dec. 24 to my house. It sort of completes the rest, so this is vexing.

I'm changing the delivery to go direct to my recipient, so maybe this will get salvaged before Christmas.

 

[cosjobs]

I hope to compete my packaging and taking to the post office tonight or tomorrow. This includes the two Movember boxes of crap, gmtan ss, ffa ss, bogart's roku, -fish-'s invoice, ProNinja's books,and gm's nook. If I forgot anyone, pm me address.

You guys watch the Everest documentary (something like "Dying for Everest")? The group going up literally encounters a guy sitting on the cliff sitting there literally freezing to death. His face was black with frostbite. The group then just leaves him there. In the doc they interview them all about it and each one tries to defend his or her decision. It's really really depressing.

Double damn. This didn't work, since there are unrelated items in the same shipment and amazon won't let me break it up.

 

[Guster]

I've still got to throw a bunch of random crap from my work in a box for my SS recipient to finish off the giving. Hopefully I'll get to that tomorrow.

SS gift almost complete. I'm waiting on one more item and it also needs a dash more shtick.

So I just opened my front door to unplug my Christmas lights, and to what should my wondering eyes did appear? A mf'in goat, and his vicious bodyguard.

I told him he would be spared if he completed "Operation Scott Tenorman".

About to see an advance IMAX screening of the new Mission Impossible. I've never seen an IMAX. Am I going to get sick or something?

Sit further back than normal. I usually sit about 12-15 rows back, for IMAX, 25+ is better

<_<No. Am suffering through a cold (no flu!), though, and I've heard that IMAX can be visually unsettling.

That cat would later be known as "The Beast of Buchenwald".

Also waiting on one more item to complete my SS gift. Unfortunately I won't be back in town until Friday. I have no idea how long it takes to ship over xmas, but my recipient may be kept waiting.

Also my recipient may already know who he is because I am really stupid.

[PaperBagHead]

Overheard at the gym: The federal income tax was created to make up for the loss of liquor tax during the prohibition.

One of the interlocutors claimed to have been born in 1926, so he's either in the know or too far gone to remember correctly. He stood up at a 45 degree angle.

Tanner? History check? You were around then, right?

:rimshot:

Seriously, Trivaguy, is this true?

 

[mr. furley]

Things not looking so great for Da Raiders. .

Income tax passed in 1913 I think. Prohibition wasn't until 1919.

A few years ago, Cos volunteered to play "Santa" on the phone when I needed to threaten the "Santa Clause Call" with my unruly children. He would have been perfect for it, had I ever needed it. Fortunately, they've been good for the last few years, so WA LA!
