Jack Parr. Johnny Carson. Jay Leno. Almost Joan Rivers. Jimmy Fallon. Why do all the Tonight Show host's names all start with 'J'?  :question:
Oh, that's terrifying! Maybe that's why Conan got thrown out: he wasn't in the cult of J. And why they eventually murdered Steve Allen decades later.

^I had thought the same thing with Conan!  :buggedout:

My landlords must really upgrade my bathroom sometime.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

For some reason, a thought popped into my head about what question I'd ask an ex if I could ask her one. The immediate next thought was "When Snow White bit into the apple, was that your proudest achievement?"

Almost wish I could ask her that one. It would make me laugh.

My banner ad here is in what looks to be Chinese.

You guys know there's a big meteor shower happening this week? Tonight? Now? Look northeast between sunset and midnight and supposedly this event is producing long-track fireballs.

Don't know why I'm getting lingerie ads as sidebars 🙄

I am surprised instructions for breaking into an ammo belt loop to feed it into a mini-gun isn't easier to find.

Heard that criminal charges have been dropped against Alec Baldwin.

I know that some will be upset by that, but from a legal standpoint, the charges were ridiculous. is Baldwin civilly liable for contributory negligence? Maybe. Criminally liable? Not even close.

I was thinking about the reasons he got off: thanks Rev.

John Landis got away with it too, sadly ☹️☹️

I feel Landis should have served a lengthy jail sentence for what happened with his movie. The Alec Baldwin one to me feels more like just a tragic accident that he happened just to be at the end of the chain of. I might be wrong, but that is my gut feeling on it.

Just as an aside, I was reading an interview with the woman who played the young girl The Adventures of Baron Munchausen that made me think that Terry Gilliam was quite happy to ignore health and safety rules around the children he was working with and should have been punished accordingly.
