Speaking of Masks…

My collection to date (excluding the boring ones):

(I couldn’t get the mask to photograph properly, but it was this print)

More on the way.

OT: Well, THIS should encourage social distancing

[OT] Bouncy Wake-Up Music I Don’t Understand

B.A.: Maybe it’s just me, or maybe this 1997 song just didn’t age well, or maybe it’s a generational thing (I was in my second year of nursery school when it was released)… but I listen to this and I hear a song about an emotionally abusive relationship. Nothing ambiguous about it. I would tell Shania to kick his ass to the curb before she becomes a police statistic.

Losing It [OT]

(A hypothetical, based on a true story)

What would be more catastrophic for you: losing your cellphone, or losing your wallet?

Off-Topic Question From a Techno-Idiot

If a phone is GSM UNLOCKED that means it’ll work on any network, correct? That’s what I assume, but I don’t want to buy the phone until I’m 100% certain.

Thanks.

Very OT, but quite awesome

They did the entire show.

“The Moon Landing couldn’t have been faked because faking it would have more expensive and more difficult than actually sending men to the moon”

Well… maybe not… but it is a fun argument.

 

Another Secret

B.A.: I was on the Victoria’s Secret site just now (long story, but the short version is I needed to know whether it was “Victoria’s Secret” or “Victoria’s Secrets”), and I noticed this:

What in God’s name is a “verbal fitting”? You hold up a bra and a clerk says “Yeah, I think that’ll fit you”?

OT: History on Film

B.A.: Movies about historical events, when they aren’t completely fanciful, tend to play fast-and-loose with facts, creating characters and scenes out of whole cloth. Sometimes the changes are cringe-worthy, as with Clint Eastwood’s horrifying libel of journalist Kathy Scruggs last year, or crediting Churchill’s resolve to stand up to Hitler to a chance encounter in the Underground with a ten-year-old girl (which I believe was discussed, for some reason, right here).

So my question is: Can anybody name an historical (or biographical) film that stuck completely to the facts, at least in every meaningful way?

[OT] Asking for a different kind of song recommendation

My sister-in-law, who lives on the other coast, has got it into her head that next time we’re all together, she and I have to sing karaoke together. Now keep in mind that I’m old — and will probably be considerably older by the time we see one another — and I haven’t sung in public since I was 12. Not even “Happy Birthday.” I’m not quite tone deaf enough to not know how bad I am.

Apparently she’s at least as bad.

I don’t know how drunk she expects both of us to be — which would be a feat in any case, since neither of us drinks.

But she’s fixated on this,  and wants me to pick the song, so what duet should I choose?
