That post title brings back memories:
It was 1981 and my mom was having a hard time getting over the passing of my dad. So for a while, I occasionally took her to the movies.
One Saturday, I took her to see “Heavy Metal”.
She watched attentively with nary a comment.
Afterwards, I expected her to say something about it, given its mature content.
And, as we were passing through the lobby, she did:
“That was a cartoon.”
Reminds me of “Demon Seed” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_Seed
I have the same question, mainly because it seems like the Plex interface is trying too hard to show stuff that’s not on my local server.
When I’d spend a summer week at my Grandma’s in the early '60s, my cousin would take me to Luke’s Store, where a dollar would buy a bag full of candies. Always included was a sleeve of Necco wafers.
I liked the flavors and would try to eat them slowly, but usually ended up crunching through them.
In 2018 when the Necco company went bankrupt, I was traveling a bit for work and would buy bags full wherever I found them. It was a relief when the Spangler company bought the brand and resumed production.

“Scream and Scream Again”, 1970.
Our parents dropped us off at the theater to see something else, like “The Love Bug”, but it had moved on and we randomly ended up seeing this horrifying film.
We were not ready for dismemberment and dissolving bodies in vats of acid…
“Faster than the Speed of Life” - Steppenwolf
Nice work
Yea! I was getting a headache trying to visualize the shape of the plane.
They’ve recovered half a billion in the first year.
My dad was in WWII in the Pacific and drew Kilroy for me when I was wee lad.
“This polish takes forever to dry…”
“What a hole!”
Reminds me of the quote:
“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.”
In the mid 80’s, a friend that worked in a hospital was telling about unusual names. My favorite:
Syphilis (SUH-fill-ess) - the word was on the mother’s chart, she liked it as a variant of “Phyllis”, and thusly named her baby.
I think it’d be personal preference.
Congratulations! Bask in the glow of accomplishment, and get some well deserved rest!
