Cheers has been part of my life… literally my entire life. I’m watching a rerun on CMT and am remembering how much this show means to me.

Edit: After reading some of y’all’s comments, it’s amazing to see how many of us find comfort in this show. ❤️

Nostalgia the 1985 movie Clue

435 Upvotes

I’m watching Clue for the millionth time with my kids and it the third “really happened” ending always confuses me.

how was there time for the final three murders? the timeline is just too tight. right?

also, the actual Mr Boddy, with the slick backed hair and two-toned shoes, does not look or behave at all like a butler.

movie is still 10/10 but … it doesn’t make sense, right?

I was talking to my niece who’s about 10 younger than me about these. She grew up in NYC where I’ve always lived in LA and she said she never saw these before. Curious if these were just regional or if they were always there on the market checkout line. I also remember always wanting one, but never got one. Anyone remember these?

Any of my peers rocking cargo pants?

74 Upvotes

I've always been a jeans guy. When I used to hike, it was always either in jeans or cargo shorts.

After a break of several years, I started hiking again this summer. Jeans felt too constricting and I'm more concerned with ticks in my older years so I ruled out cargo shorts.

So, I bought a pair of cargo pants (and sprayed them with Permethrin; a product I discovered this summer that kills ticks instantly). So much more comfortable than jeans! Now I feel like I may start wearing them regularly.

I've been wearing Wrangler jeans for years and have been wearing their cargo shorts for years as well. So, I picked up their cargo pants.

Anyone else? If so, what brand?

Edit: I'm also a nature/landscape photographer. So they come in real handy while hiking.

My cousin posted this because they brought it back for her kid’s prize booth. I was so obsessed with stickers that I was beyond excited when I went in a store with my mom and they had these! Remember sticker books?!

Discussion Those of us having to start over professionally in our 40s - what career path are we pursuing?

711 Upvotes

Laid off. A year and 500 applications later and still no work. I'm beginning to accept that the career I once took for granted is no longer a viable path forward. I need to start over doing something else, but I have no idea what to do.

Anyone else in the same boat? What's the plan?

Jamming to the Sneaker Pimps tonight, still great 30 years later.

I had a great friend in high school that used to buy cd's just based on unusual band names. One time, we went to the mall, and he bought Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X. We both really were taken by the album, and it was something we played whenever we drove around and smoked weed.

I found out that he's had some recent health issues, and from what I understand, he's in a coma and the outlook isn't very postive. Playing this one tonight and thinking about some of our youthful adventures.

It just dawned on me...

96 Upvotes

It just dawned on me why the carriage return key on PC keyboards is dog legged. The carriage return lever on mechanical typewriters was dog legged so it was easier to blindly push so the shape just got carried over into the key on electric typewriters and word processors, then to computers.
