There, I've finally done it -- outside of some Italian mockumentary and Pseudo Trek Into Dreckness, I've seen all of Heather Langenkamp's movies released to date.

Frankly, it's a hollow victory.

Sorry I don't know much about those movies. I haven't watched anything like that in years. 

K. Let’s have this ride.

Lol! Thanks for that. I guess that's how that reads. 

Peace Possessed.

You're saying you've never been acquainted with either The Demolitionist or Suburban Beat? That's absurd!

 Yeah. I guess I've sorta been out of things for a bit.

also, (and i know theres a thread for tv shows but is the only thread my phone will let me post in for some reason and if you think i m getting up just to post this you must be shitting) ive been watching that 70s show lately. for sor some reason i cant fathom i really like it. its only sporadically funny. the jokes are often lame and over the top in a childish way that isnt funny. yet somehow itsstill entertaining enough hat i keep watching.

Am I alone in thinking that Julie Christie looks like an exquisite Greco-Roman statue brought to life?

I went into SubWay to order a footlong sub and while I waited I noticed there was a £5 meal deal, which I wasn't interested in. I got to the till and was asked by the lady if I wanted to make it a meal, I said no and she told me it would be £5.30?

I said...

"Wait what... but the meal is £5?"

...she looked at me blankly, so I continued...

"You want to pay me 30p, to take a drink and cookie from your stock, that I don't actually want. That's a strange kind of offer isn't it?"

...she just gave me this world-weary "I just work here man?" type look. So I shrugged and took my sub, my drink, my cookie and the 30p they'd paid me and went about my day.

I assume this being a big chain it's a worldwide thing. But a policy of paying your customers to eat your stock is a strange financial strategy no?

 Ran into a similar strategy at a Burger King once...buy two of the item on sale for $5 or buy one for $4.75. Very confusing for a fellow intent on only eating his fair share of the world's products...no way at all to buy a single one for $2.50...

I bet if you paid in all pennies and started counting them to them they'd sell you the one for 2.50.

 Alas there are no pennies in Canada...but I doubt even then it would have had impact...as the fellow behind the counter would likely have simply stood slack-jawed until the transaction was completed...
