Today we have a very special movie, from a very special Glib. Yes, he found me again, even though I moved far away. I will say that STEVE has interesting taste. I had never heard of this movie which has sasquatches, aliens, and zombies! And it’s from the eighties! So without any further chatter, here is the crude letter which was left with the VHS tape on my doorstep:
Trivia! This movie was made in 12 days. Does it show?
So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary! Next week you have a choice: East German Sci Fi, or White Punks on Dope from TedS!
You can’t buy anything for 1.99 now.
STEVE SMITH GIVE POUNDS FOR FREE.
Sounds like a forex arbitrage opportunity.
No. I used to get DVDs at the dollar store for a buck. Three Stooges, old cartoons, etc… Those days are gone.
You can’t even rent a stream for 1.99
At the Dollar Store today I saw a basket of videos, “a buck and up”
I didn’t look since I never have time to sit and watch TV/videos,
I still have some. Wish I’d bought The Big Picture.
Toxteth, I spent 5 years in France at remote microwave stations. French cook that didn’t speak much English. If we wanted a haircut we went on the economy. A little shopping, etc.
Actually I did get a chance in VN to use French, the Montangard kids had gone to school with French proselytizers and some of the kids spoke French. In town the better educated VN spoke French.
I had also been to VN Language School (where I met my wife) but I’ve totally forgotten that.
Two 32oz fountain drinks from Casey’s gas stations after tax costs $1.99 in Northern Missouri depending on which county you purchase it in… They’re having a Summer sale to lure you into buying their overpriced pizza slices.
Is the pizza any good?
At a gas station? RJ…🤣😂
Better than most.
We used to get fresh pizzas for carry out from Casey’s when the kids were still at home.
Casey’s specializes in setting up in small towns. It is not uncommon for them to be the only place in town to buy ready-to-eat foods. The breakfast sandwiches and burritos are pretty good actually.
RJ, Sean…kinnath is correct. Pound for pound, dollar value per dollar value, Casey’s pizza (when pre-ordered via takeout) is pretty fucking good. A better value than most commercial chains. +1 to the loaded breakfast burrito. Scrambled eggs, queso dip, shredded cheddar, bacon, hash browns, sausage, all wrapped in a corn flour tortilla at a reasonable price for gas station fair.
My ex’s favorite was Casey’s maple donuts
…All that being said; Unless I’m in a pinch, I’m not spending $4 after tax on a slice when I can spend thirty cents more on a frozen Tony’s pizza and keep myself fed damn near all day.
I can make far better pizza at home.
But there are still times when 2 slices of ready-to-eat at 6 bucks meets my needs.
Say what you want, but they’re no Kum & go.
We are getting all the rain in North Texas so Elon can launch.
Dammit! It scrubbed!
Needs a good cleaning?
Clearly.
The next event is Trump’s speech in an hour. All these crude interruptions during movie night!
Send rain! Clear out the smoke!
Boy, we got plenty! It’s every day right now. It is interfering with construction projects.
It is all coming from due South, heading due North which is an odd direction.
Undocumented migrant rain.
Diving in!
Ugh, ugh, I’m dying, you idiots 🎶 (45 seconds in)

Seriously, a health sign (not jaundice!) was observed on me today. I’m okay for now but I can’t trust my housemates for help. My mother is too checked out, and if I collapsed B would probably accuse me of malingering then kick me in a kidney. Perhaps while himself falling over.
I don’t think he comes to this URL anymore. Busy with X rants.
At least this sitch came late in my life.
I couldn’t handle any more excitement. Quiet and boring. Tomorrow is a day visit with a classmate that is in assisted living and he really needs assistance. He sits in a recliner, can’t get out of it without assistance, the into a wheelchair with his helper holding him, to the bathroom, I’m not sure what goes on in there, female attendant.
Today I visited another classmate/my best friend. In the past month he’s went from working outside on cars to sitting in a recliner, needs a walker inside and out.
He’s alone at home but his kids check on him everyday, bring food, etc.
At least all three of us still have somewhat of a memory, even if the voice is getting weak. Getting old sucks.
Merci, monsieur.
Gotta catch up last few days. Swept off my feet. Venting parce je m’en fous.
I wish I were close enough to help.
Ain’t there anyone here for Scrabble? 🎶 (Haven’t tried Words With Friends)

“Getting old sucks.”
I lament this to my small handful of coworkers around fifteen years younger than me but still try to appreciate that I’ve lived long enough to be “The Old Guy” at the job sites. Especially considering what I was doing between 16-26…ever been high on exctasy, Xanax, Valium, weed, morphine, meth, acid, and opium all at the same time while a psychopath crackhead has a pistol pointed at your face screaming about how that 1/4 ounce bag of Mexican dirt weed you sold him was .02 grams short according to his personal scales?
Fun times. Ah, to be 22 again.
Good God, woman! What have you gotten yourself into?!
je sais pas. Call me. fairly sober and DGAF. 🍻

Huh…I just may do that. Need to run to gas station up the road first.
Obviously it wasn’t like this to start. What am I, a masochist? Pfft. I am nobody’s property.
Can’t argue with anosognosia, so fuggit 🧳 🏃♀️.
ok
Did he just shoot a 1911 with the slide out of battery?
That’s what the Irons are for. Change the battery when you get the chance.
/Deliberately missing the point.
I knew he was going to die tired.
I am in the fasting part of the week, and Tubi had Bulleit Bourbon commercials. This is some kind of sick test.
I’m past the point in the evening where I shouldn’t eat any more food today.
For some reason, I have this awful temptation for more food.
Fight it. I am fighting it too.
👊😣
All the channels I watch are wall-to-wall HIV/prep commercials.
BethAnnica just passed this over:
https://consequence.net/2026/07/william-shatner-riot-fest-rider/
Shatner has a ton of demands in order to play Riot Fest.
He’s gonna be at a local mall on Saturday…
“The Star Trek star continues to work on a heavy metal album for Cleopatra Records with a cast of all-star contributors. Among the tracks announced for the collection are covers of Judas Priest classics “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’” (featuring Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford) and “Living After Midnight” (featuring drummer Mikkey Dee of Motörhead and Scorpions).”
\oo/
I think he is living his best life.
Someone is punk’ing us.
That list is hilarious
If his demands are not met is he going to drown someone in his pool?
He did a decent cover of ‘Common People’. I’d like to see his metal chops.

Arguably my favorite YT music video of all time.
Thanks, I had never seen that video, brilliant!
This has taken a weird turn.
You just noticed?
The plot was all over the place. Cocaine may have been involved.
12 day bender
Absolutely. Speaking of, any update on the Trump speech?
I’m sure I can catch the highlights tomorrow.
Wild guess – something stupid.
Caught less than a minute of Trump’s speech as we were sitting down to a late dinner (before switching over to a NatGeo show about Minoan archeological sites on Crete.) At that point he was talking about the information that turned up (at the FBI?) in a bunch of burn bags that never got burned and saying they’d be releasing a bunch of declassified documents. We’ll see if it turns out to be anything.
@GT: Ha! That’s exactly the bit I saw. I wondered WTF, why this? WHAT this?!
I’m glad I changed back to Clarkson’s Farm.
Huh. Bad dreams?
“[Bruce] Barlow’s involvement continued with Demonwarp (1988), an independent sci-fi horror depicting alien demons possessing victims in a remote forest, where he provided makeup effects for the possessed characters and monstrous entities. His 1980s output concluded with contributions to Leviathan (1989), a deep-sea sci-fi horror involving mutated underwater creatures aboard a mining vessel, in which he worked in the makeup department on creature prosthetics and effects.”
Dope.
I’m out for the night. Thanks RJ!
See you in the morning, DEG, I’ve still got a 1/2 hour.
You are welcome!
And Fourscore, party with the Night Crew!
