OT: 112th Obsequious Banter Thread: Nearing the Halfway Point of the Year

[Lord Defect]

I remember a few years ago I was like 2 or 3 cars back waiting for the light to change at Cottman & Torresdale. This dirt bike came up going the wrong way on the other side, popped a wheelie like just after the Septa depot that's on that side and went across the red light and kept going up torresdale avenue. There was a cop pulling out of the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru and did nothing.

Then the guy that was turning onto Cottman started his turn with the light still red by like 1/2 second with no oncoming traffic and that same cop put the lights on and forced the traffic to stop so he could follow up onto Cottman and give that guy a ticket.

Cops in Philly are not allowed to chase dirtbikes, motorcycles, atvs, and the like.

I think it was Austin (if not one of the bigger cities in Texas) they had a groups doing that major street or whatever takeover. They essentially used cameras whether they were street, business, etc. in the area since they were main roadway intersections & gathered as much license plates as possible then later arrested the people. That’s how they pretty much put an end to it in their city.

They have issues in like shore towns with these illegal car meetups. They usually ticket the shit out of the cars knowing most of these people are from out of the state & likely won’t pay it. So when they come back the following year their car has outstanding tickets on it so the towns just impound the cars then.

10 years ago we came up to Boothbay Harbor, ME after we got married. All weekend it was cloudy, cool and drizzle. We are up here again for our 10th anniversary and the weather is the same except it poured rain all day today. This is our view out to the ocean.

Which Parish you at? Sorry, couldn't resist

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

is Father Brown any good?

Not really - it's not one of those that translates very well. I'd also guess that it hasn't aged well, but I never saw it during its time. It's huge over there, though. With "Only Fools and Horses" you can at least see what made it popular - with this one, much less so.

This is one hell of a headline

In an incident in Connecticut, a man was injured when he got between his dog and a bear attacking it.

Wasn't there some pope whose remains were exhumed and put on trial?


I feel like that wouldn't be out of line here.

My dudes and dudettes, Pluto TV just added a 24/7 Godzilla channel. They're currently showing "Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack" which sounds awesome. And also sounds awesome, because the score is composed by Kow Otani of Shadow of the Colossus legend.

Pope Formosus. The Cadaver Synod. Nobody present had a good time.

Some motorcycle hooligans have been trapped in a tunnel by a collapse. They were being hooligans so by movie logic they deserve this. I bet this has something to do with the movie's plot and isn't a random thing that is never revisited.

 

[Beef Invictus]

This is a Godzilla movie so over-the-top, needlessly elaborate weapons are expected, but even by Godzilla standards the drill missile is goofy. Just let the hooligans die anyway, they're hooligans.

 

[Beef Invictus]

That is the smokiest Korean BBQ setup in history. These people are all going to go to sleep in the restaurant and never wake up.

 

[Beef Invictus]

More people are being hooligans, so I bet they die

 

[Beef Invictus]

Oh they're also being casually blasphemous. They're so f***ed.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yeah, they died.


Getting eaten by mothra for stealing beer is a little unfair on the scale of cosmic retribution, but the blasphemers had no other possible fate.


Dude this chick is trashed. Or is is the CO poisoning?

The next scene with her must take place weeks later, because her hangover ought to have been enough to kill a moose

A popular form of suicide in South Korea is to light charcoal in a car with all the windows closed. In "Reply: 1988" the characters joked about the carbon monoxide they were inhaling from heating their houses with charcoal. You see, they lived in a basement flat, and the ventilation wasn't the best.

Oh so this was a failed suicide party? This movie is pretty dark for a non-1954 Godzilla film.

 

[Beef Invictus]

lol every time anyone is even remotely disrespectful in this film there are instant, severe, deadly consequences.
