I find it ironic that mental health awareness month happens during one of the most hectic months of the year for many people.

clearly a bedpan is the logical solution.

You’re missing the point, and I can’t tell if it’s willfull or incidental, but everyone is saying it has become something we only do a few times a year, as opposed to regularly, because of the expense.

I get you’re being over the top to make a point, but it seems a bit ridiculous to compare overpriced popcorn to a first class plane ticket and staying at an expensive hotel. We’re talking about experiences that people used to indulge in on a whim, or which were reasonably affordable for average folks. That is not the case with the examples you provided, and those kind of purchases are large even for some people of means.

You’re not wrong, but you’re also ignoring the fact that the whole point of a movie theater is to have an “experience” and the snacks are part of it. Sure, you don’t have to get it, yes your strategy can be done and will work, and I have a long and storied history of stopping by the candy aisle in the grocery store before noisily making my way to my seat and enjoying my discount goodies. But buying a ticket to a theater is a matter of spectacle and experience, and that exact experience is becoming rapidly unaffordable even when you just buy the tickets alone anymore.

The shape of the magazine makes the bullets go further because they’re already aligned with the Earth’s curvature.

The same thing we do every weekend, Pinky.

Only the good die young.

Golf LOVES its rules. Seriously.

FWIW I feel the same way about people putting A1 on their steak.

They see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

You already know exactly what they mean.

I said goodbye to theaters years ago; the cost of attendance is unjustifiable anymore.

Switched to these after years of boxers and a stint with regular briefs. Duluth is my brand of choice but regardless the separation/support is a complete game changer.

Cinnamon is on the roll, not the chili. Don’t knock it till you try it, the sweet/savory combination is a Midwest classic for a reason.

Next time try chili and cinnamon rolls.

Gotta add Black Sheep and Tommy Boy to the list. Peak Farley/Spade era.

This is it for me. There are a lot of things that aren’t awesome about owning and maintaining a house, but not dealing with a smug, PITA landlord every month is absolutely worth it to me.
