Random Thoughts 14: I can see clearly now 2020 edition

[SCyclone]

Haven’t seen the movie also. Don’t go off any readings for me. I have read 2-3 books since my 8th grade year. My ADD doesn’t allow me to read more than 10 pages or so at a time, unless Im learning something. I could probably read a biology text book but I don’t read things I don’t learn things from.

The movie's kinda sappy, about clashing teens in 1950s Oklahoma. Quite a cast, though....Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Maccio, Leif Garrett, Dianne Lane. Also look for William Smith as a convenience store cashier, he was in a long-ago western called "Laredo" and also played Clint Eastwood's fight foe in "Any Which Way You Can".

I read it, but I don't remember much about it. I think we read it and then ended up watching the movie in class.

Thanks goodness somebody else remembers reading it. Just so long as Stay Gold Ponyboy remains part of America's lexicon (mostly in a facetious way), I'm good.

The quote I always remembered was "Let's do it for Johnny, We'll do it for Johnny"

Anytime I see Matt Dillon, this movie is what I think of

Son told me to ask Siri how to say seal in French. He had his iPad do it. Siri then dropped an f bomb on me.

Had to try it. Now it's going all around the office.

You never saw the movie Overboard? (Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell)
I wish I could find the clip.

Maybe 5 minutes and then I got bored.

The vixen's favorite film. Hands down. We have probably watched that damn thing 9 or 10 times.

When Golide Hawn falls overboard she is found by sailors that speak mainly French. The TV reporter is trying to interview them and she asks them what they did when they saw her in the water. He replied phoque, phoque. The reporter gets embarrassed and says I don't think you can say that on TV. He then says seal because at first they thought she was a seal.

Marijuana fed pigs, gives them the munchies, get bigget faster.

Brilliant idea, you could market it as "green pork" to fit in the organic foods and green living niche, so you could even charge more for it. If they get bigger faster, that speeds up your production, so you get more product that you can charge more for. You'll be a millionaire in no time.

Edit: Just thought of another advantage, since they're constantly stoned they'll also be lazy and just lay around all day producing pork similar to the high end Kobe beef from pampered cattle.

Except you would have all the potheads stealing your feed then.

I've heard that they've been feeding the plants after they have cut all the buds off to hogs up in Oregon. They say they love them.

May I ask where your parents are from? Just curious.

Oh no, mine are white AF. Just thinking about other first gen students and what their struggles would often be and immigrant families came to mind.

Are you a Wisconsin native?

No but close enough. There's lots of German in there.

Plus - it was Tom Cruise before he fixed his teeth. He's got one helluva fang going in this picture.

Same here. Except I need to be very careful about who I pass this on to.

Here he is in All The R

ight Moves, made that same year (1983). Teeth look fine......they may have made him wear a prosthetic set, so he looked more like a kid from the wrong side of the tracks.
