I need to get myself a girl right now so I can have a place to shower on the regular once I move into the van

Just park it beside a river with a nice waterfall!

This was as far as I got when I went "Yep, me too".

The rest of your statement has no bearing on me

Don't do it! Stay single!

It is going to be easy when I smell like a homeless person most of the time.

Just get a membership at a rec center or a gym or something, they'll have showers there.

That's my plan. And my company's office has a shower too. So as long as I keep my job in Durango I'll have access to that shower. Just have to clean it occasionally to please my boss.

A baby with colic is a really horrible thing I never wish on anyone else. My life is hell right now - ugh

Dude...I hate to break it to you but there is not a single company out there that has co-ed showers.

Saw The Last Jedi for the second time and Kathleen Kennedy is absolutely on my hate list. Especially when she says that Star Wars doesn't need male fans, like what the **** does that mean?

Ok...I've seen and have been a fan of most Star Wars movies since 1978 (I was too young for my folks to take me to see it in a theater, so they waited until it hit a drive-in.) Helpful hint for all you new parents...nobody wants your kids in a theater. Keep them at home.
That being said, Kathleen Kennedy is absolutely correct...If they have a great story, it could work. However, if they try to create a story strictly about a woman it will fail. Simply because it is forced and not natural. There is nothing wrong a movie that doesn't have a male lead. But seriously, outside of porn, I've enjoyed Steel Magnolias, I've always had a think for Sally Field, Dolly Parton and Daryl Hannah.

Ridley could carry a movie by herself, but in a universe where every other main character is male, they'd have a hard time making it seem unforced. With these movies you have to avoid the "look she's a woman and we're forcing it down your throat, and she'll do unexpected things that aren't traditionally feminine, and we'll write it in as comic relief, even though it's not funny". So basically you have to avoid being Amy Schumer's special.

So...out of curiosity....Where does Meat Loaf rank on y'alls likability scale? That dude could sing and wail but it was over-produced to the point that it was perfect.

 

[Bonzai12]

Meat Loaf is near Yanni, Kenny G, and Michael Bolton on my list.

Hmm...so you are saying you appreciate him but hate to admit you like him?

I don't know of ever hearing a song of his, and I don't intend to.

You must listen to this UR...

 

[LieutenantDangle]

^^^ I think that’s the only song of his I could name. But damn is it a banger!!!

Whenever we go back to my wife's families home town, they play this song at the end of the night at the bar. But the gals all sing the male vocals and the the guys sing the female's lines. South Dakota is a bit weird but fun.
