  1. Had the floor done about six months ago. Spent about 6 days last month painting and decluttering. Garage has now assumed full football gorging mode.
  2. I’ve always bought my wife a GC to Fiori for birthdays/anniversaries. It’s off Westheimer by the Galleria. http://fiorispa.com
  3. Listened to a podcast about this movie last week. Old man Marley wasn’t even in Landis’ original script and was added late per the recommendation of the director. He felt the movie needed something more than the mom trying to get home to her son. Another interesting tidbit was Warner Bros was the original studio to green light the movie, but only at a $10M budget. Landis went back and forth with them claiming the movie was more of a $12-14M budget kinda movie. They refused to go above $10M and on the eve of production, 20th Century Fox said they’d give the movie a $16M budget, so the movie switched production houses. Home Alone went on to make over $500M.
  4. This sent me down a two hour Patton Oswalt rabbit hole. Pos rep.
  5. This thread gives me the biggest walking through a 1991 local movie rental store feeling that I can remember. Great stuff. My contribution is the 1979 ensemble cast greatness of Scavenger Hunt.
  6. Yeah, I think I’ve had my fill of Tabasco in a ramekin.
  7. “They said you was hung!” “And they was right.”
  8. Which Cloak Room?
  9. Ok. Now what?
  10. Went for the first time myself on Thursday and had the exact same experience, except sausage instead of ribs. Meat was fantastic, the sides were interesting and not terrible, but not as impressive as the meat. I’ll go back if around that area again.
  11. I woke up one night this summer around 3am to my wife screaming at me in the kitchen. Startled, I started asking her what was going on. She said a loud noise woke her up. Turns out I was pissing in the guest bathroom and ripped the shelf above the toilet off the wall, which sent a bunch of stuff crashing to the floor. Piss and debris was everywhere. I have no recollection. It’s happened before, but not that bad.
  12. I hate Tommy Lasorda.
  13. I deleted my Twitter and Facebook apps on my phone about a month ago and couldn’t be happier about it. I still have a profile, just deleted the apps making it a minor pain to access either. I found myself getting too angry about things that simply didn’t deserve that real estate in my brain. I vastly overrated how much I would miss the constant streams of information.
  14. I grew up saying Water Burger.
  15. There’s a neighborhood out here in the Atascocita/Kingwood area with a few streets where every house has 10+ signs. One street in particular has a house with a sign for every single Democratic candidate and the house directly across the street has a gigantic banner stretched between trees that reads, “VOTE REPUBLICAN” pointed right at the democratic voting house. What a unnecessarily miserable environment to live in.
  16. I’ve been volunteering for to-go pickup for this exact reason since my daughter was born 10 years ago. Same routine, too.
  17. I work in an office in the GreenStreet complex, where the House of Blues is across the street from the Toyota Center, and the Luby’s is (was) across the street in. Polk in between San Jacinto and Caroline. Here’s a pic I found online taken from the dining room looking over the city.
  18. Back when going to a downtown office was a thing, I used to hit the downtown Houston Luby’s about once a week. It wasn’t full fledged Luby’s, but the fried fish was nice to have while staring out a 13th floor window. Sucks losing yet another familiarity.
  19. I feel like that pumpkin is now on the hook to do a Smashing Pumpkins song.
  20. The pumpkin doing the vocals really takes it to another level. That was awesome.
