Me either, but apparently an Olympic sport since 2000.

Next on the list. It is Brat Pack adjacent. As for "Weird Science", my wife had never seen it and enjoyed it, but to me it didn't hold up. Anthony Micheal Hall did well with what was some weak writing, but the other kid was just not a good actor. I read that he is now a college professor, and that is probably a better fit for him. Kelly LeBrock was gorgeous, but also not a great actor. That's a pretty big contrast to "Sixteen Candles", where the writing was still on the silly side, but the acting across the board was pretty sound.

The what? In what? Srsly?

I had exactly zero clue that was a thing.

I hope they award medals solely by level of gruesome injury.

There is a slamball injury I remember from a trampoline that somehow is worse than the Kevin Ware injury.

Trying to sell stuff on Facebook is so annoying. If I put something up for sale and you message me within 10 minutes, don't offer me half of the price I listed. And then don't ask what my best price is. You can see the best price... it's the one I listed. The next response is usually a variant of "you won't sell it for that price." OK, then I won't sell it to you for that price. I'll either sell it at some price to someone else or I'll just keep it and no one uses it. Oh well.

I’ve been both ways with it. I got asking full price for my old GPU(it took a month but I never dropped the price.)

On the other hand I also had a lady leave me shitty messages and also try to tag me a post on her personal Facebook because I wouldn’t deliver a $5 item to the next county over.

Yeah, I'd pretty much have a bonfire before I'd do that, at any price.

Just being on FB is so annoying. I'm going on 3 years off.

My experience with Facebook marketplace was a bunch of scammers hitting me up to "ship" the item. I had some luck with pinball machines and some office furniture, but it's not worth the headache on anything small.

YES. First noticed this last summer. The flavoring of the breading is still there, but the chicken is lower-quality than it used to be. A real shame.
