Really cheap, off-brand chocolate
Who in 2024 is still buying Palmer’s? How does this brand still exist?

Brain Damage. I definitely should not have seen that movie at whatever age I was.
I know groceries are expensive, but damn!
I host a podcast called Almost Plausible where a couple of friends join me to create movie plots based on ordinary objects. For example, some of our episodes are paper bag, axe, and toilet brush.
You can find it wherever you listen to podcasts, or on the Almost Plausible website.
A friend’s dad feels so strongly about this that he has cafeteria style trays so each food item can have its own little area walled off from everything else.
The scam in question, from the article:
McKcraken said he never requested a tree removal service and didn’t want any trees at his Forest Hills house — which he’s trying to sell — removed.
“They’re trying to target vacant houses because the owners won’t know,” he said. “So that they can post themselves as the owner, and the owners won’t be home to stop it and won’t be home to notice it if the tree services do show up.”
The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office said the scheme begins with a scammer calling or emailing a tree service company for a quote on how much it would be to cut down trees. After receiving an estimated amount, they send the company a faulty check for more than needed.
Before the company realizes the checks are null and void, the scammer asks the company to pay back the difference.
“They send you a check for $1,500, and they want you to send $500 back to them,” Adam Barbee with Arbor Sense said. “And then that way, they take $500, and you try to go cash the check, and the check is no good.”
Haku is a Hawaiian word. Haku leis are worn on the head.
The $3,000 is a protection plan, kind of like insurance. So if you use that lock and your bike is stolen, they’ll give you up to $3,000 to replace it. I don’t see a price listed for the lock itself.
How is no one talking about head splitters? Am I the only person who hadn’t heard of these before?

Whenever I’m talking with someone about my podcast and they ask, “can I find it on Spotify?” a little part of me dies.
Like, yes it’s available on Spotify, because it’s available everywhere. But I strongly dislike what Spotify tried to do to podcasting, and there are much better apps out there.
I’ve been playing Sail Forth. It’s very basic, but still fairly fun.
It’s not like those Tax Dollars came from the Working Class in the first place!
I hear so many people pronounce “cavalry” as “calvary,” which is a different word altogether.
“Until the second half of the twentieth century, mortarboards were often worn by schoolteachers, and the hat remains an icon of the teaching profession.” [source]
So they weren’t saying that he just graduated, they were saying that he was learned (the tortoise even says, “he is the wisest of us all”).
It would be especially interesting to see how his viewpoint changes over the course that time frame.
About 30-some years ago I borrowed a book of facts from the library, and the two I remember are:
I have no idea if they’re true, but they’re burned into my brain.
The 800 number is missing a digit. Now how am I supposed to get my oyster?
A fellow future lizard!
