This is why I'm gonna miss big-city livin' when I move back out to the sticks next month. The local cable company is literally hosting a wine and cheese reception in the lobby of the condo building next week to encourage us all to sign up for premium services. Where else do you see this kind of ****?

Joe, that picture is of a replica of The Mothership stage prop. Parliament Funkadelic circa 1976.

To quote the famous 20th century philosopher Eric Cartman; I'm, like, seriously, here.
As a former radio guy who was once offered a line of coke by George Clinton in the green room at KIIS-FM in LA about twelve years ago (I politely declined), I am ashamed and embarrassed that I didn't recognize that one.
On a wholly unrelated note, I'm about 1/3 of the way into the Mother of All Expense Reports right now. I haven't filed a single one since I started working at WGN, and staring at the mountain of receipts on my desk makes me sad. They're all tediously small (like $20-$50 each) but we're easily talking about $4k of unreimbursed expenses here in total. And to think that I wanted to go downtown for a cheezborger today...

Well, now I feel like a total retard.

But I digress. Round 2. This one is probably more difficult, but the theme continues.

^
^ It is indeed fabulously random. And is awarded.
Whatever algorithm FB uses to decide what to advertise to me has been going off the rails a lot lately. This morning, it wants me to buy military-themed pouches of flavored coffee grinds at 7-11, as an alternative to chewing tobacco.
Dafuq combination of things did I ever type / click on to produce that result?

It is indeed a real thing: https://getgrinds.com/
Apparently, it comes in little pouches like snuff, and is intended to be used the same manner.
Oddly, a different company makes tea-grinds snuff.
What is it with the recurring military theme on the containers? Other chewing tobaccos feature pictures of horses or beavers or mountains...
Secondarily, a friend of mine puts his milk into the fridge in descending order by fat content. This has an aesthetically disturbing consequence:
Really, milk-producing company? RBG?

Serious question: why does a normally functioning T-800 Infiltrator require a torque wrench? How is it not able to sense the amount of force which it is applying to the handle of the ordinary socket wrench which it is already holding? Swapping it out for a tool designed to overcome a basic inadequacy in the human arm seems oddly and unusually inefficient for this machine.
Out of all of the plot-holes in the Terminator series, this one bothers me almost as much as how, at the end of T2, when they "destroy" the two Terminators by tossing / lowering them into a crucible of molten metal, nobody bothers to think about the fact that after all the wacky **** that's happened in there, a reasonable factory manager would likely order a metallurgical analysis of the material in question, which would reveal small traces of futuronium in the batch. leading to a repeat of the Dyson Incident a few years later.

With all the dust blowing from across the Mediterranean, the roads were really slippery past couple weeks around here.
So I crashed my bike.
Front end bentered...
Took the steering tube out, confirmed benteredness.
Sent it to wholesome youth camp and got it all straight again.
Changed the bearings, too.
Hammered a 10" solid bar into the steering tube to address any possible weakness issues after repairs, and good as new...

Joking aside, I'm fine.
Playing defensive sports all my life has its advantages, I know how to fall.
Light bruises on my right ankle, knee and elbow.
Healed in a few days.
I was wearing shorts and sandals at the time. My bad.

I had to put my bike down many years back. Helmet got into a fight with a granite curb. My legs hurt again just reading about you.
Over here many states allow "no helmets" except if a child under xx years. I was getting gas the other day and there was a young girl (17ish) riding a fairly fast Japanese bike with her younger sister on the back (10ish). Older girl no helmet + shorts and bikini top. Younger sister helmet + shorts and t-shirt.
I guess some parents just don't give a ****...
I gave up motorcycles 15yrs ago. Too many stupid drivers around.
Hope you heal up quick.

Open face and all, but still a helmet.
And, I am completely healed already.
It was just some light bruises from a three point landing.
