Where is the Random Thread of Randomness stuff that doesn't belong in other threads thread?

Cuchi Cuchi!

There are fairly good odds she'll be on this afternoon's Love Boat rerun on MeTV.

Oh bad news, no Charo today. Just Eddie Albert shooting clay pigeons off the side of the boat while Shirley Jones is trying to seduce him. And I'm pretty sure Julie McCoy's hair in this one has its own sentience.
 
Wow. We are old. And so are they.

 
I have 20 minutes of Free Time that I intend to waste.

Well that isn't entirely true. I should mow the lawn. But since I don't want to burst into flame and die I'm going to wait for tomorrow, when the temperature is supposed to be slightly lower.
 
I hate you for showing me Pat Benatar looks like that. I've barely managed to deal with Jamie Lee Curtis. This is just wrong.
 
I'm just going to have to put a reliable thermometer outside a window. I can't find a weather website that I believe the temps on for more than about 4 days at a stretch, apparently.
 
OMG. OMG. OMG. I just realized something. Obviously I cannot prove it, but I believe it to be true.

Fact: In September 2015 a contestant answered "What is the Ballad of Turd Ferguson?" for Final Jeopardy.
Fact: They reshoot parts of "Jeopardy" for various reasons, as long as it doesn't materially change the results.
Fact: "The Ballad of Turd Ferguson" is not a thing. But...
Fact: "YOUR MOTHER'S A WHORE, TREBEK!"

I believe that, in September of 2015, a contestant was stumped on Final so (s)he wrote down "What is 'YOUR MOTHER'S A WHORE, TREBEK'?" and they reshot the ending. Search your heart. You know this to be true. Now I must seek out this contestant and try to verify.
 
 
Random thought I had today:

Tarantino's Pulp Fiction is a coherent story shown out of order. If Tarantino had shown the story in correct order, then Zed would have known that Marcellus Wallace doesn't like being fucked by anyone but Mrs. Wallace, and thus he wouldn't have dared trying to fuck Marcellus.

I'm guessing. I'm not sure.
 
They should start playing "Hey Ya" by Outkast on the radio again.
 
 
The Cat needs to learn to bark. He spent the whole morning locked in the (enclosed) front porch because I closed the door when the outside temperature started going up, forgetting to check for him. He gets canned catfood when I have lunch and is usually pretty good at reminding me of this. By the time lunch was ready, still no cat, so I looked around and sure enough, there he was, stuck out in the front porch.

I prefer not to let him out at night because he's harder to find/catch than The Dog, can and will get out of the yard, and is more likely to get into life-threatening trouble. Besides, when The Dog is ready to come in, she'll stand at the door and let out a loud bark. The Cat is capable of annoyingly insistent meows, but they are not particularly loud.
 
John Cleese on The One Show right now: his face looks like it's melted and he just started rambling about how he knows Roman Polanski. Lauren Laverne looks terrified.
 
I had to stop following John Cleese on Twixxer because even though he still says smart things sometimes, he's also a cranky old white guy who wants England for the English.

Eric Idle's the only one left who's worth following. Also who's still alive and online. (Well Michael Palin's on Instagram at least)
 
Obviously, anecdotal evidence is empirically worthless but I was forced to go to Windows 11 a little over a year ago. At first my win rate at Solitaire was over 21%, but it eroded down to a low 19% (I actually calculate the percentages since M$ rounds everything down--you can have a win rate of 20.99999% and it will say your win rate is 20%). I disconnect from the Internet to play so I escape the ads and crap but I'd connect up to let it update when I'd get tired of it nagging me. And I'd use the "Solve" button when I'd won the game. My win rate started to slip. At 20% you should win about every 5th game but I could go over a week without winning (playing at least 3 games a day). I was down to a low 19%. So I stopped letting it "update" and I stopped using the "Solve" button. (I forgot to mention, I play the "Random" level, in hopes that it is actually fairly random instead of with a literal stacked deck like the difficulty settings imply). At this point I probably win close to half the games I play. My win rate was 21.1something% at the start of the week, 21.33something% a few days ago, and 21.51% as of just now. :confused:

In the past I've said I thought I could win quite a bit of the time without feeling cheated by the game being "too easy," but I'm starting to get to where I'm wondering if I could get bored by winning easily every day.
 
A long, long, long, long time ago, when I was just starting out at being a Grown-Up, I got this cool primitive cast-iron-looking coat hook thing from that store on SNL with the "You put your weed in there!" clerks to hang on a door. All the over-door hook holder thingies I could find were white and that looked funny on the black of the coat hook so I spray-painted it black. But the back of the door it hangs from in my current house is white and having 2 black metal strips poking down a couple inches looked funny so I painted the black white again. I've been drinking so things like that amuse me.
