One of the best movies ever made! I have seen it 100 times. Paul Gallico was a prolific writer and “The Poseidon Adventure” is based on his novel of the same name. The book is much darker and nihilistic and there are more characters. I’ve only read the book once, many years ago, and some of the scenes still haunt me. He was horrified by this movie, which he considered low-brow crap, but he was contractually obligated to a two-picture deal. When “The Poseidon Adventure” proved to be a box office hit he churned out an intentional piece of crap, “Beyond the Poseidon Adventure,” whose camp value is inestimable.
Then, of course, came the remakes, a made-for-TV bomb, and 2006’s Kurt Russell movie, which still pisses me off. Why? Because I rarely go to movie theaters, I’m very tall, used to smoke, theaters didn’t use to serve alcohol (some now do in NYC) and they’re expensive. Much better to catch something at home with the Better Half and maybe have friends over and turn it into MST3K. But we paid good money to see this 1-star at best remake in a theater and it’s time and money we’ll never get back.
I spent NYE sitting on the toilet then taking a long shower, after driving 10 hours in the rain.
May 2021 be more sweet sphincteral release and less inclement weather driving for us all.
Be careful in the bathroom. defector.com has their annual review of “What Horrible Things Did We Do To Our Penises Last Year?” from the US Consumer Products Safety Commission database and it includes a number of bathroom incidents.
Some of them could even happen to the other 51% of the population including
WARNING WARNING
The incident where the patient was IN THE SHOWER – GRABBED DRAIN CLEANER INSTEAD OF SHAMPOO (SAW THE WORDS – HAIR AND GREASE REMOVER AND THOUGHT IT WAS SHAMPOO). SPILLED SOME AND GOT ON HIS SCROTUM AND IT STARTED BURNING
Have we talked about the crazy person who destroyed vaccines in Wisconsin yet?? I just don’t even understand. Were they trying to be sneaky (so people would get a vaccine that didn’t work) and failed, or did they intend to destroy it openly as some sort of idiotic statement? Whyyyy? Just antivaxxer nonsense? I don’t get it.
who knows with these people. Their heads are so stuffed with bullshit there’s no room left for things like logic or reason.
5G causes COVID, masks are tyranny, Bill Gates put microchips in the vaccine…
There *may* also be aspects of either an asshat who wants to “own the libz!” or, tbh, since it’s WI (and home to so many famous serial killers🙃), it may even be someone with an “Angel of Death” sort of complex or desire….
Because they apparently knew that leaving the vials out for more than 12 hours would leave them ineffective….
There isn’t word yet, on if they hoped to actively make folks sick, by giving them basically adulterated inoculations, hoped they’d get sick from Covid, are straight-up antivaxxer, a conspiracy-nutter type, or what….
They haven’t seemed to have gotten a reason out of them yet, but it’s being charged as multiple felonies, from the latest I’ve seen (this one has a bit more info, than even our local news did–including the exact charges so far);
I just discovered a good 2021 omen for myself! Because we file separately I was entitled to the full $600 stimulus check (thanks, Uncle Scrooge McConnell!) and it landed in my bank account today. That was incredibly fast. Now, at the rate NYC and the rest of this country is going, I should be vaccinated against covid long about New Year’s Day, 2023 or 2024, so that’ll be good.
*sigh*….trying to watch a movie..but candy has decided its candy time
and she knows how to turn off the monitor…well..okay…maybe she doesnt know how to turn off a monitor…or what a monitor is…but without fail she will step or sit down on the off button whilst getting in my face for pettings
A former-roommie’s cats (Piglet & Mini) did the same–and OFTEN, so westarted to put them down “buttons down”–because that way it mashed ALL the buttons, and the TV/VCR/DVD player would stay on…
Those cats are LONG gone from my life, but I still put the remotes buttons-down, when I set them somewhere😉😂🤣
When my current dog was a puppy he was long enough, limber enough, and crazy enough to get up on his hind legs behind me and put his forepaws on my shoulder while I was tapping away at the computer. More than once he lost his balance and a forepaw or two would land on the keyboard, crashing the whole system. I have experienced the 21st-century version of “The dog ate my homework.”

My cat has a similar skill – she’ll walk across the remote and always manages to either turn it off or switch the input.
