When I’d spend a summer week at my Grandma’s in the early '60s, my cousin would take me to Luke’s Store, where a dollar would buy a bag full of candies. Always included was a sleeve of Necco wafers.

I liked the flavors and would try to eat them slowly, but usually ended up crunching through them.

In 2018 when the Necco company went bankrupt, I was traveling a bit for work and would buy bags full wherever I found them. It was a relief when the Spangler company bought the brand and resumed production.

I loved that scene

“Scream and Scream Again”, 1970.

Our parents dropped us off at the theater to see something else, like “The Love Bug”, but it had moved on and we randomly ended up seeing this horrifying film.

We were not ready for dismemberment and dissolving bodies in vats of acid…

“Faster than the Speed of Life” - Steppenwolf

Galaxy Quest

Nice to see the KLR reference!

That would be lovely, thanks.

Nice work

“This polish takes forever to dry…”

“What a hole!”

Reminds me of the quote:

“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.”

In the mid 80’s, a friend that worked in a hospital was telling about unusual names. My favorite:

Syphilis (SUH-fill-ess) - the word was on the mother’s chart, she liked it as a variant of “Phyllis”, and thusly named her baby.

I think it’d be personal preference.

“What’s that smell?”

In MSSQL, you can do a BEGIN TRAN before your UPDATE statement.

Then if the number of affected rows is not about what you’d expect, doing a ROLLBACK would undo the changes.

If the number of affected rows did look about right, doing a COMMIT would make the changes permanent.

This is hilarious! I’d love to see it as a skit.

Gorgeous!
