LOL. I was at the dentist this morning for my regular cleaning and I
was thinking about a comedian I heard recently talking about flossing.
He said that people who floss are very proud of their habit and that
they live longer. He then added that people who floss regularly probably
also do a lot of other things that are good for you.

Some never can. Years ago we had a guy at work that always had money
troubles. He did have a sick wife and couple of kids so it was not
easy. He would turn down overtime at a decent rate to go work part time
at a pizza shop doing deliveries so he could get tips and have cash
needed that day. Could have made at least 3X or 4X at work but the cash
was more important.

One time the guys at work filled his refrigerator so he could get ahead.
Few weeks later, back in a rut.

Yes, you'd think so. Maybe there's a market for T shirts. Bold print:
"My credit rating is xxx."

Next, you can only vote if you have a certain credit rating. I bet the
Republican Party would love that.

Perhaps not as much as you'd think. One notable characteristic shared
by the January 6 insurrectionists is current or prior financial trouble.

It's been at least 15 years but I had a credit card from a major bank
for about a year; I paid it off every month. One time I used it for a
fairly large (IIRC it was about $1500) purchase. When the bill came I
paid it in full. They cancelled my card. They *want* people to carry
balances, otherwise they don't make any money.

Not true at all. They make plenty of money from merchant fees. We
haven't carried a card balance for many years, and we get solicited for

Nah. The Scandinavians do it better. Witness "My Life as a Dog", "Let

Tattoo". Attempts to recreate a couple of those movies in English have been
worse than lame.
Aussiewise, I did like the Mad Max movies and, of course, "Walkabout" way

I had that happen to me last year for no reason. It took a month or so for it
to go back to exactly where it was before, with no interference on my part,
but I was getting ready to find out why. I´m proud of my credit score, but
I can´t imagine a circumstance where I will need it again. Who knows?
Maybe they´re adjusting their algorithms. I would become highly interested
if the score dropped further or if it didn´t adjust back up in a couple of
months.

I believe they're making a new Mad Max movie as we speak. Or they're
about to.

Thats part of it too. I probably need to cancel some oddball ones I

Mel's an old man now. It has whatshisname... Somebody Hemsworth? Is
that the ex of Miley Cyrus or his brother.

Mel Gibson is entirely too old to be doing a restart of this. He was
extremely pretty in his day but IMHO it's time to let things like this
become a fond memory. And no, I wouldn't want to see a reboot featuring
a younger almost but not quite the same character assume the role.
Sometimes it's best simply to give up the movie franchise idea.

I hadn´t thought of them. One of those boys could actually work well for a
Mad Max movie. Do they know how to act without CGI and made up monsters?
That wasn't fair. Do modern film producers know how to create a movie without
cartoon junk? Imagine a Hemsworth in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. It could easily be
done. They have the technology!

There´s a device for that. Mel has his grandchildren sitting on his lap
while he narrates the story, Peter Falk style. I´m told that Hemsworths are
considered extremely pretty ;-)
This could work! I´m expecting a call, but I will stand firm. No CGI!

I see a lot of Australian movies, but I can't remember seeing one with
a Hemsworth in it. Maybe they went straight from Australian soaps to
American movies.

I read that it's going to be a very expensive production. That could
become its strength or its weakness.

My ONLY Credit Card is my Discover card, and for good reason! When my Ex and I split she initially walked away from OUR debt so to try and save my credit rating I went through Consumer Credit Counseling Service and they negotiated with all my creditors to develop a repayment plan for me and OUR Discover Card was the only one who dropped all Interest and allowed me to pay back only the Principle!

So Discover is MY ONLY credit card!

I saw "Mad Max" too long ago to remember. I recorded, and haven´t watched
yet, "Them" the other day. Now, that´s a dandy monster movie with no
CGI. It´s right up there with "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" and
the "War of the Worlds" with Gene Barry.
Of course, I watched all of those films when I was very young and
impressionable. Giant bugs and aliens in rubber suits rule. To me, vampires
and werewolves have always sucked without drawing blood.

The Aussies of the period were doing gonzo action filmmaking - like the Chinese. The stunts were amazing in that they looked pretty dangerous. The low budget nature of these films made that a necessity. These days, the Chinese and Americans are heavy into CGI. George Miller could make his films into CGIfests like the Chinese/Americans but he prefers "practical" effects. These old-school effects are simply breath-taking.

Here ya go:

Behind the Green Door (1972)

"A wealthy San Francisco socialite, Gloria Saunders (Chambers), is taken against her will to an elite North Beach sex club and loved "as she's never been loved before". There she engages in ******* sex with a group of six women, all dressed in black, after being brought out wearing a white dress on stage through the green door.

The silent, largely masked audience become increasingly aroused as her white dress is removed and she is stroked, kissed and given cunnilingus by the women. Her first heterosexual sex is with the African-American boxer Johnnie Keyes, accompanied by a funk soundtrack. Over 45 minutes, he gives her more cunnilingus and then they have sexual intercourse, while Gloria continues to be stroked by the other women. When she has an orgasm, the sex stops and he is not shown to ejaculate.

Gloria then mounts a trapeze contraption suspended from the ceiling and then engages in vaginal intercourse with one man as she performs oral sex on another and masturbates two others. The audience become further aroused and begin having sex with each other in what becomes an orgy. In a psychedelic key sequence, an ejaculation is shown with semen flying through the air for almost seven minutes. The film features several multicolored, optically printed, slow-motion close-ups of money shots. This is the only ejaculation sequence in the film. The narrator then runs from the audience onto the stage and carries Gloria off through the green door. The film ends with him and Gloria making love alone..."
