I think about this game at least once every other week, still to this day. I’d love to find a way to play it again.

Nostalgia the 1985 movie Clue

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?

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. ❤️

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?

104 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.

Nostalgia Anyone else here who related better to the culture of the slightly older or younger cohorts than your own?

Im an elder millennial (82 born) who graduated from high school in 2001 and I remember preferring The Smiths and Bowie along with old school Prince to crap like Creed and Limp Bizkit. I also considered teen pop to be too corny and overproduced for my tastes.

Anyone else who felt the same way themselves?

I've racked up 8 daily and 1 weekly medicines for various stuff. I'm 50. I don't think I can say I'm in good health. Maybe fair health?
