Ralphie's family's house in the movie "A Christmas Story", which was set in Indiana, is actually located in Ohio.

Now this is ironic since Ohio State Football fans already think of Itrips to Indiana as visiting Columbus West.

Next time a clever OSU fan goes there remind them that movie proved why they're actually Indiana East ,and that they're just wannabes ;)

Lol #BOOM!?

I am not an expert on the anatomy of a billy goat, but have to think that would be difficult to do.

Maybe they piss into the wind ?

Solo falls short of expectations at the box office.  This raises the question as to whether the Star Wars franchise is beginning to fade.  I know my 14 year old son has shown little interest in the movies, new or old.

I saw it this weekend, I liked it a lot. I thought they stayed in line with what Solo was in the early movies, sort of the comic relief. Luke = serious, Solo = fun. 

i never expect Star Wars to 'move my world or change my life' only to entertain me, and it did that. Thumbs up. I suppose it was a bit of bad luck releasing same time as Deadpool 2 which looked pretty busy to me as well

Here are some elevator fun facts from its rich history:
  • America currently has over 700.000 elevators.
  • Elevators are statistically the safest way to travel.
  • Elevators are twenty times safer than escalators.
  • 24 elevators at the ancient Roman Colosseum were manually operated by the force of over 200 slaves.

I just wish the 'close door' buttons could freaking work again.  Sometimes i just need to be alone..

Have you ever been stuck on an elevator?  I was once.  At work.  For about 45 minutes.  By myself.  I'm not sure if there were cameras.  

Have been stuck and have dropped one floor in a malfunctioning elevator. 

Colleague dropped two floors, left on the floor with a fracture, different elevator.

We have the 36th floor of the building. 

I’m hoping we’re past the dropping. 

My solution: every floor gets its own spiral slide down with slide mats - when you leave the office — wheeeeeee.

Stairs up. Gotta stay fit!

I mowed grass today........geez, I hate it when I have to do that.

Headed out in a few minutes to do that myself.  I used to enjoy it.  Always daydreamed when mowing.  Check out of the real world for a while.  Loved the smell of a freshly mowed lawn.  I don't like it as much as I used to.
