Guys, I am sad.

My parents got rid of their landline. A phone number they had for 50+ years. My childhood telephone number is no more.
The combination to my safe is our home phone number from growing up. I'll never forget that number.

Quitters. I still have mine (wife won't let me get rid of it).
Until we moved to purely streaming recently, we had a landline through our cable company. It was cheaper with cable, internet and phone than with just the first two. We never knew what the number was and never hooked up a phone.

Well.

The old guy across the street went into assisted living. Not surprising given his recent activity like mowing his sidewalk.

They had an estate sale. Walked over and discovered a larger than average porn magazine collection.

Not entirely sure why the family didn't throw that out instead of letting us all know the old guy enjoyed Penthouse Letters...
Some of the older editions could be worth something - as long as the pages aren't stuck together...

It's weird that the Food Network picked someone as swarmy as Guy Fieri as the face of their network. Do people think he's as cool as he thinks he is?

I don't mind him as much as some but I'd never want to see him doing anything other than talking about unhealthy food.

I like how near the end of every Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives he says, "That's a really good (insert food here)."

I ate at Portillo's last night and had an autographed pic of Guy staring at me the entire meal. But since I watched Ralph Fiennes in The Menu just last night I suddenly don't find Guy to be the worst chef I know...

I just didn't get that movie. I guess it was some sort of dark comedy but it just didn't come across as that. At least for me

I should probably explain why this occured to me. A lifetime ago I worked at a place in Nebraska. They had a flea market there every month or so. One guy had a booth with old magazines for sale. He had Playboy and other assorted vintage girly mags including some of the first editions from the '50s and '60s.

I was just at the Brass Armadillo and saw a collection of Playboys locked in a display case
