A jet car wash at night. Someone is washing their car. Another car is waiting their turn.
So... It's about 2am on a cold wet Saturday morning in March. Any aspiring novelists or short story writers out there...what kind of story would have someone washing their car at this hour - and have someone else waiting in the queue? I took this picture last night, and I'm stumped.
It’s certainly up there. And a great comfort movie.

There are times when I wonder if 4 Extra are making up shows, just to see if anyone's paying attention. For example, this - airing on this coming Monday. "Punch Line", from 11/10/75.

I feel like it would just take one Pokémon looking at Pikachu and asking “why doesn’t he need to live in the ball?” to lead to some fuckin changes in that society
And like the Rule regarding Tom Holland’s interpretive dance, when telescopes are mentioned, this clip must be shared. I don’t make the rules, I just share the joy.
This is the Euro Electro-dance single of the year.
Of course, the year is 1985.
Obviously the world needs Michael Bay’s Brief Encounter.
Older guy in bed trying to get to sleep. Bed: Remember when you wet your pants in second grade? Bed: Remember when your locker combo was 14-32-5? Bed: Remember when you spilled coffee in last week's staff meeting? Title: Jeff soon regretted buying a memory foam mattress.
There are three things that happen to you when you get older. The first is that your memory starts to fade. I forget the other two.
I once sold a multi-million-dollar global training contract based on the success of a workshop where I had participants hit other participants over the head with newspapers while they spoke on the phone with customers.
Text from This Is Orson Welles: PB: There's a line in Lady from Shanghai, "When I start out to make a fool of myself, there's little enough that can stop me. ... Do you feel that's been true in your life-have there been times when you feel you've made a fool of yourself? OW: That's one of those searching, penetrating questions 1 thought we'd avoid PB: You don't want to talk about it? OW: There've been so many occasions I don't know how to begin. PB: Regrets? OW: Millions. But, you know, I like the people who are ready and willing to make fools of themselves-being, as 1 am, a full member of the fraternity. Still, there are lots of nice felines who just can't. PB: Felines? OW: If spiritually you're part of the cat family, you can't bear to be laughed at. You have to pretend when you fall down that you really wanted to be down there just to see what's under the sofa. The rest of us don't at all mind being laughed at. PB: Then you're canine? OW: I'm a comic, anyway, even if I don't wag my tail very often.

Sigh. You are entirely correct. The real challenge is that some parts of the world believe in international law and the sovereignty of nations, and the other thinks that the best model for international relations is that of the school bully stealing your lunch money.
Someone needs to keep the Chinese informed, right? After all, it's only fair, as the channels to Russia from this administration are always open.
