When I was like 14 sneaking into Barb Wire at the Tomball dollar cinema, I never would have imagined myself contemplating if Pamela Anderson's boyfriend could do better. -
Yep. Returned home to Kihei and very thankful. My wife and I + everyone I was around at the grocery store about 2 hours before first wave were strangely calm during the whole thing which made me feel that everything would be ok. That was not at all how either of us or the island felt in the moments leading up to the Lahaina fire. Energy is interesting out here sometimes. Mahalos.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/live-blog/rcna221881 Looks like it fizzled. Hawaii was downgraded to an advisory and folks were told they could return home. Cali got waves and less than a foot in most places so far. all the cams linked on page one show business as usual. Thankfully.

Scariest movie I saw in high school was Midnight Express. Gave me nightmares for months. After I saw it, my parents never had to worry about me ending up in prison or visiting Turkey, I can sure tell you that. -
So far, so good. The early warning and preparedness of Hawaiians for stuff like this is impressive. When I say it is genuinely cool to see residents of a state trust and listen to the government on things like this it is legitimately refreshing. More states could stand to be this organized and working as a team to help its citizens.

Because if you're monitoring the numbers - and any good manager/owner monitors the concession numbers, because that's your lifeblood revenue source - at some point you can see the sales and ratios of sales/tickets sold are down. Doesn't matter by how much. There's a laser focus on those numbers. So then you suspect something. That's assuming the machines couldn't keep track of the voids, and most of them could. Every now and then at the theater I worked at they'd have some kind of hot dog sale. Buy some kind of combo and you got the hot dog for a cheap price. Anyone who got the item or items necessary - I don't remember if it was a large drink or large popcorn or a combination. Doesn't matter. But if anyone got the items necessary to qualify for a cheap hot dog but didn't get the hot dog, I'd simply not ring up the sale, then I'd tell everyone after that they could get a hot dog for the sale price if they wanted one, and ring up the whole sale at that time. We had multiple concession stands because it was a pretty big theater for its time, and inevitably the concession sales where I was working would blow the roof off of any other theater in the city. The general manager knew exactly what I was doing. He couldn't encourage me, but he sure was willing to turn a blind eye to it. What was critical is that the register balanced at the end of the night, but it always did. To be honest whatever concession stand I was working always had huge sales compared to everyone else because I was constantly hustling people to upsize or suggesting they add to their order. Shit works. Wasn't really incentivized to do it. I just enjoyed the process. On another note, one of my biggest frustrations at the time was the stupid way the concession stands worked. You'd have multiple employees there working almost an assembly line. One person would grab popcorn. One person would handle the drinks. One of them would handle special orders like hot dogs or nachos. One person would be on the register. But invariably the register took way longer than anything else, so it ended up being a bottle neck for the transaction process. I'd complain that we needed more registers and just have everyone use one and then get their own customers' popcorn/drinks, or at the very least just have one person doing all of that for multiple registers. It's not like the general manager was unsympathetic, but it was simply the way the corporation did it. Everyone did it the same way back then. Even when I'd attend old theaters, like the old River Oaks Theater before it was torn apart and remodeled into a dining theater, they did it that way. It was such a validation when theaters finally started going to the model with multiple registers. It's the only way that makes sense. Since I'm on the topic, one of the changes that happened about 20 years ago is that employees stopped going to movies. That was a huge perk when I worked in a theater in the 80s. You could see any movie for free pretty much at any theater. Even if the theater was another chain they had reciprocal agreements. I just told my manager I wanted to see a movie at another theater and they'd call ahead and get me passes at the ticket office. Any time I went to the theater - and this is into the 90s and 2000s - I'd ask the employees if the movie I was going to see was any good, or I'd ask what was their favorite movie the theater was showing. I don't know exactly when it was, but it felt like overnight suddenly the answer became, "I don't know. I haven't seen any." Not just that they hadn't seen any of the movies showing at that time. They really didn't see all that many movies in general. There's a big part of me that always wondered why would you work in a movie theater for low wages, no tips, poor hours, open every holiday, if you didn't like movies in the first place? Also, whenever I worked the ticket office, which was with some frequency, I'd regularly steer people away from the really bad movies and offer an alternative. There's no question I could have gotten in trouble for that, but I never got turned in for it. -
Unless you're leaving your apartment at 11:52 because you forgot to return the tape and are hustling to avoid the late charge.

I've only actually ever seen a small part of one Cloverfield movie and the entirety of my thoughts on it are as follows: Mary Elizabeth Winstead is SERIOUSLY underappreciated -
9/10 for the first season. Thoroughly enjoyed, even if Brosnan and Mirren acted like comic book villains. Paddy never misses.

Im not sure he'll get a corporate buy in on this. everyone knows this gets rolled back the minute the D's get back in power

I didnt claim it was illegal. What I took issue with taking a moral high ground based on political team. He abused a massive position of power over a way younger female. It's absolutely shit behavior and were it George Bush or any republican aligned politician his view would be extremely different. Hell, were it random CEO and an intern it would be. It's absolutely a double standard based on politic team. Further, we know for a fact he did abuse his position and Monica. Right now, we can’t say the same for Trump though I certainly believe he is, it's not fact.

What does this mean? A social media site has posters, threads about(?), posting the vetted names of the dead? Sounds legit.

She has not. She's more into slasher type stuff these days. Just for the record, she's excellent and extremely caring and gentle with all of our many pets - but I still don't like to turn my back on her for too long -
Nada here on Maui. Hope it was all for naught. Getting drunk on a sixth floor balcony with some friends so can’t complain

so did this thing fizzle out?
