Chancla justice is a great take on a theme. First time I heard about shoe-throwing was from Eddie Murphy. I got the belt.

Only if you count sticking your head in other guys crotches, playing footsies, and throwing the ball away when someone gets close to you macho...

Watched the pilot last evening, I think it has promise. The lead has a lot of the same characteristics that made Bakula's character likeable.

The new show is more of an ensemble cast than just a two-person show, but I think that will lend some additional interest to it. In addition, it has some threads that will continue between shows rather than being more episodic. While the leap teaser is still there at the end of each, there is some back story they'll get to carry between episodes.

The pilot episode was decent but it does feel like a pilot episode (even though I understand it's actually the second pilot, and the first pilot is being used as the 6th episode).

TIL that the Cleveland Browns are named after an original co-owner named Paul Brown.

Sapphireho · 09-22-2022, 11:22 PM

TIL there are 16 Batman movies, and 9 Spider-Man movies. So 23 too many.

Someone thought to think what Scar from Lion King was named Scar before the whole wildebeests incident. Apparently in the Lion King novels, he was named Taka? Which is Swahili for trash.

TIL: Lewis Wilson's Batman (OG Screen version) fought like a drunken sailor with dance skills and sometimes got the crap beat out of him but usually won anyway.

Especially if it isn't waterproof (sweat washes it away faster) and you're not reapplying. Even with a sun hat and care I've had mild burn on my face with waterproof spf50 gel (gel because it has to go on my head and creams are way too gross with whisps of hair). I always wear the hat and spf rated long sleeves.

TIL there might be a mutiny at work and I'm insanely excited to see the outcome.
