Bring back? Do you currently not have the death penalty? That’s blowing my mind. I had no idea that was abolished in the US.

I just checked and the Lyme vaccine was discontinued all the way back in 2002. There currently isn’t one approved for humans. You have to sneak into a veterinary clinic and steal the dog one. Why do I feel compelled to lick my testicles? Oh, wait, I know; that has nothing to do with the dog vaccine.

I apparently had to get my MMR updated recently for work. The nurse asked if there was anything else I needed. I asked for shingles and Lyme. Apparently not free for me. I asked about eligible patients who have refused and if I could just have their vaccine that is already paid for but refused. No, I just have to suffer through shingles until I am 65 years old for… reasons.

Obligatory “water is wet” post.

Family Guy did always give me the sense of referencing a thing being the punchline in and of itself. Anyway, Cyndi Lauper 4-ever.

Just since I have a rare opportunity to talk about comics; I felt disappointed when I saw the Scott Pilgrim movie. It wasn’t a bad movie by any means, but it had to gloss over a lot of the character charm. It never turned me on like this:

Family Guy has assumed knowledge from everything ever made (not that I am a fan of that either, but at least it doesn’t expect a 3 hour to 80 year commitment to get the full story).

I’m not the biggest comic book reader, but I did prefer DC over Marvel because the stories ended every now and then. There are some very memorable self-contained stories. And then they mulligan and reboot Batman or whatever, but at least there were occasional conclusions and it wasn’t just an ongoing soap forever and ever and ever. Marvel had prompts within the story to refer to issue #blablabla of maybe the same series or some adjacent series. No.

I forgot to carry the one.

Thank you for being a friend.

Even with an iPhone it is inaccessible without a US account.

Download it, use it.

It is apparently restricted to US iTunes accounts only, for some brainless reason. So a lot of people who could potentially benefit from it simply can’t.

Streaming services don’t include any extras. Torrents (so I am told but I would never do that, myself, haha) are just the movie and maybe subtitles but nothing else. I doubt you are in the minority. Anyway, we are both afforded options to enjoy however we like. (Just wish I had chromecast support, but I will live). Cheers.

Blu-ray menus do kind of suck, but they are still mostly good enough to make all the supplemental material accessible (assuming the studio bothered to provide any anymore). But DVD menus (at least during that earlier golden age) add a layer to the experience I never knew I had been missing.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show has some dancing fishnet legs and sexyhorror lips dancing around. You get to see so many extras and choose two versions of the movie and AND a secret Easter egg third version. A smorgasbord. Same for Terminator 2: two good versions of the movie and that lame Star Trek-ish ending one was hidden and I love having the option to not watch it. Plus many more. Fight Club is the only one I can think of to make use of that camera angle swapping button. The DVD versions of Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace wouldn’t work any other way.

Perfect way to kill time when others go for a last minute toilet visit or decide to make popcorn. I am not going to the trouble of transcoding my entire library to get less.

I am still using Kodi. It is feeling a bit long in the tooth in current year, but I can’t complain. I tried Plex because chromecasting is a feature I would love. Sadly it didn’t support the ISOs of my 1:1 rips. Maybe it does now (I stopped waiting for them years ago). As for Jellyfin, they seem to have an anti-ISO stance. One of the devs seemingly (or someone claiming to be a contributor) said I should convert all my media to a more modern format and make my own menus because it would be fun. Oh well, Kodi it is.

I have changed the name of my butt to Dem Party. 🤤
