  1. Well, I did it. Thank God I got my stimulus check over the weekend. I had a single item delivered Saturday, and have single items scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, Thurs, Fri, & Mon. I didn't try to do that, I was just taking advantage of the Prime shipping. Some of the items just had different shipping dates, and also I've had things pop into my head that I need about once or twice a day. I also have a grocery delivery scheduled for Thurs. The post-holidays covid wave and the new more-infectious variant have scared me back out of the stores.
  2. NOT IF IT WOULD COST ME 71 CENTS!
  3. Is it still considered an excellent cover if the artist does a superior version after the original?
  4. My free 30 day trial of Amazon Prime has to be canceled by Thursday night. I have 71 cents left on an Amazon gift card my boss gave me, and I’m stumped as to what to order. I don’t want to leave the 71 cents as a credit, because who knows if Amazon will go belly-up before I get a chance to use it. Then I'd be screwed. What to buy… What to buy… I’m leaning towards this for $1.48, but with tax that would cost me 90 cents. And (of course) there are only 8 left in stock, so after I debate all day whether or not to take the plunge, I might come back and find them all gone.

    And, of course, we all know that Garbo's last appearance on film was in a gay porn flick, right? https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/background-people-in-porn-movies.139887/#post-1573161
  7. He's probably a cousin of the Nashville bomber. If 5G doesn't get ya, the covid vaccine will!!!
  8. Acting legend Tanya Roberts is reportedly still alive, according to a new statement from her publicist. The news comes one day after that same rep, Mike Pingel, informed the media of her death. Roberts, a former Bond girl and That ‘70s Show star, was apparently hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Dec. 24 after collapsing at her home. Pingel told the Associated Press she passed away on Sunday after being on a ventilator. No cause of death was given, but he said it was not due to COVID-19. Now, Pingel tells TMZ and Los Angeles’s ABC7 that Roberts is not dead, but remains hospitalized. A manager for Roberts confirms to Entertainment Weekly the 65-year-old actress is alive. SNL could get a 'Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead' running joke out of this. According to TMZ, Pingel was informed of the actress’s passing by her domestic partner, Lance. In Sunday’s press release, Pingel even included the following quote attributed to Lance: “As I held her in her last moments, she opened her eyes.” Pingel says Lance got a call on Monday morning from the hospital that Roberts was not dead. Pingel also notes Lance believed Roberts had died. It’s unclear how the confusion occurred. Yahoo Entertainment has reached out to Roberts’s reps for clarification, but did not immediately receive responses. "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead" is a catchphrase that originated in 1975 during the first season of Saturday Night Live, and which mocked the weeks-long media reports of the impending death of Francisco Franco. It was one of the first catchphrases from the series to enter the general lexicon. Origin The death of strongman General Francisco Franco Bahamonde during the first season of SNL originated the phrase. Franco's allegedly imminent death had been a headline story on NBC News for weeks. On slow news days, United States network television newscasters sometimes noted that Franco was still alive. Following his demise, Chevy Chase, host of Weekend Update, announced Franco's death, and read a quotation from Richard Nixon: "General Franco was a loyal friend and ally of the United States. He earned worldwide respect for Spain through firmness and fairness." As an ironic counterpoint to this, a picture was displayed behind Chase, showing Franco giving the Roman salute alongside Adolf Hitler. In subsequent weeks, Chase developed the joke into a parody of the earlier news coverage of Franco's illness, treating his death as the top story. "This breaking news just in", Chase would announce – "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead!" Occasionally, Chase would change the wording slightly in attempts to keep the joke fresh, e.g. "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still valiantly holding on in his fight to remain dead." The joke was sometimes combined with another running gag in which Garrett Morris, "head of the New York School for the Hard of Hearing" would cup his hands around his mouth and shout the news as Chase read it. The gag ran until early 1977, with occasional callbacks in later seasons.
  9. Beloved and revered acting legend Tanya Roberts has died at 65. No comment yet from her children Julia and Eric.
  10. Taylor (Mun)Dayne is defending herself after taking the stage at Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Eve as part of President Donald Trump’s annual celebration. The “Love Will Lead You Back” singer, 58, took to Twitter to respond to criticism from fans, who were upset to hear that she performed at the mask-less event during the coronavirus pandemic. Many also said her appearance was an endorsement of Trump’s policies. “I’m saddened by all this ... I try to stay non-political and non-judgmental and not preach,” Dayne said in a now-deleted tweet, which was captured by Just Jared. Kushner or Fogle? “I sing from my heart purely and from Source. I wish for all to be who they need to be ... and find their way.” (Mun)Dayne’s statement was met by significant criticism from some fans. While Trump and first lady Melania Trump did not attend the celebration, guests at the glitzy fête included Donald Trump Jr. and girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, Eric Trump and wife Lara Trump, Tiffany Trump and Rudy Giuliani. Guests reportedly paid four figures for an entry ticket, according to the New York Times. (Mun)Dayne, who wore a floor-length shimmering gown to the celebration, wasn’t the only singer to perform at Mar-a-Lago. In a Facebook video, Donald Trump Jr. revealed that Vanilla Ice performed at the celebration, as Yahoo Entertainment previously reported. most of the guests kept mumbling "who are these people?" “OK this is amazing. Vanilla Ice is playing the Mar-a-Lago New Years Eve party,” Trump Jr. captioned his video from Thursday evening, which depicted the rapper performing his 1989 hits “Ice Ice Baby” and a cover of Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music” to a crowd of fans, who were all mask-less. “As a child of the ‘90s you can’t fathom how awesome that is. Beyond that I got the birthday shoutout so that’s pretty amazing.” Representatives of Vanilla Ice did not respond to Yahoo Entertainment’s request for comment. The rapper’s latest tweet — captioned “#DropTheMic” — shares a news article detailing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. A spokesperson for Mar-a-Lago also declined to comment when asked by Yahoo Entertainment. In Palm Beach County, where Mar-a-Lago is located, the mayor has extended a State of Emergency order until Jan. 8 due to the more than 1.3 million positive coronavirus cases. However, Florida does not require face coverings.

    I went to my first gay porn theater just before I turned 16 and enjoyed Manhattan's thriving porn industry (there were 8 theaters that I can think of, plus one in Queens & one in Brooklyn, neither of which I ever sampled) for about 5 years before AIDS happened. One of the things about the pandemic that's been hard to wrap my mind around is that within my lifetime I've gone from having sexual experiences (and swapping germs and more) with anonymous strangers to wearing a mask everywhere and being apprehensive about going food shopping and getting something from the deli counter, or handing my shopper's card to the cashier. Not to mention how computers and technology have made things from my childhood feel like they're from the stone age. I can only imagine how @WilliamM & @marylander1940 feel about going from fleeing dinosaurs to becoming ones. ??
  12. Do you feel like having Asian today? BTW, I just finished an egg roll & some lo mein.
  13. Pretty cheeky. A British man tried to sneak a samosa into jail by hiding it between his buttocks, police said in a recent report. West Midlands Police said discovering the fried pastry was one of the most unusual incidents of 2020, Birmingham Live reported. “We’ve had a few odd incidents,” Inspector Manj Ahir told the website. “One that sticks in my mind was a man found with a samosa secreted between his buttocks during a search.” The hungry detainee apparently acted out of fear that he wouldn’t be able to get any decent food after being arrested. “He said he wanted to sneak it into the cell as a snack as he’d didn’t think the food was up to much,” Ahir said. The cop quipped: “He’d obviously not read our positive Tripadvisor reviews!”

  15. The local ABC affiliate has a meteorologist named Amy Freeze.
  16. I may be the only one, but I'm still enjoying it, though I still don't see the potential for an ongoing series.
  17. A weary UK doctor walked out of the hospital where he spent New Year’s Eve treating COVID-19 patients and into a crowd of maskless protesters shouting “COVID is a hoax.” “I’m disgusted but mostly heartbroken,” Matthew Lee tweeted along with video he shot of the hundreds of protesters outside London’s St Thomas’s Hospital. “I wish people could see the amount of COVID-19 and death in hospitals, and the sacrifices that health care workers make. This week alone has been so tough. Their ignorance is hurting others. I really wish people would keep themselves safe.” The UK is recording a huge surge of coronavirus cases as a highly contagious variant of the deadly bug rips through the population. On New Year’s Eve, Londoners were warned not to party in groups outside, and indoor events that mixed groups from different households were banned, The Independent reported. Lee’s post took off, getting shared and retweeted more than 24,000 times. TV personality Piers Morgan was one who took notice, tweeting that he was “seething” about Lee’s video. “If it’s a hoax, let’s take all these imbeciles inside the covid ward without PPE. See how brave they feel when confronted with the reality of people choking to death. Lee, a Hong Kong native who makes videos about his life in medicine, was overwhelmed by the response. “Thank you all for your support!” he tweeted on New Year’s Day. “Covid doesn’t discriminate and we’re all in this together.”
