Actually, let’s be inclusive here. What are some of the best gifts in general you’ve received?

I had a dream I was on a plane. A totally normal flight. Going in for a landing when things went wrong at the last minute. I swear I could feel the heat of the flames as I saw them coming through the fuselage as the plane is breaking up around me. I woke up on my feet beside my bed sweating. I’ve never had a dream like that...

Is it so they can keep the IPs and not have to deal with the developers? Are the Studios too expensive for anyone to buy? I honestly don’t understand how these executives...

If you buy someone’s kid a toy for their birthday or a holiday, how long before you’re not offended to find out it’s been chucked?

I hope you all are having a good day. I would like to start by saying that I’m the “can’t take compliments” guy who posted a while back about how he “can’t take compliments”. I’ve been thinking about something for a while. That being the situation in the title....

Suppose someone hired a private detective to gather as much personal information as they possibly could on an individual, with the sole purpose of getting back at the individual by having everything about them publicly known....

I want to know if the car I’m renting comes with liability insurance. I just want to be sure that if I am at fault in an accident, that the other car will be covered. Lets try to ignore any personal car insurance policy and let’s ignore collision insurance for now....

For the few who want to know the show and the actor, it’s “Monsieur Spade,” an AMC produced take on Sam Spade post-America, retired and living in France. I think it’s really well done, and Clive Owen does a great job of playing San Spade but…I REALLY want to replace his face and voice with Bogart’s....
