I'd love to see a tv series of Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. They did their best with the movie, but limited animation techniques and time make it... not great

There was a British Hitch Hikers guide to the galaxy in the early 80s that stayed true to the books, but the effects were cheesy.

The Hobbit needs to be remade as one movie. The trilogy was an acknowledged cash grab. Peter Jackson won a lawsuit in 2007 against New Line Studio for them not paying him for LOTR. Next year, New Line spent more to make The Golden Compass than all 3 LOTR movies combined. When it flopped, it bankrupted the studio and WB took full ownership. Peter Jackson and WB came to an agreement where he made 3 Hobbit movies and got to keep a boatload of money since he was the majority debt owner on the now defunct studio and WB got to pay off the other bills plus a profit.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Great books, AWFUL movie. I'll never understand why they change the plot of something that is already good! Same with True Blood. If they had continued to follow the story of the books it would have been MUCH better - they added too much sex and weird stuff.

    Bored Panda got in touch with Sam Grannis, the creator and admin of the page and he was kind enough to share some more. Firstly, we were curious to learn more about how the page was created in the first place. 

    “I always loved memes, I was constantly posting on Facebook and was always told “I post the best memes” and that I should make an Instagram account dedicated to just memes. On top of that, I had followed a few meme accounts on Instagram at the time and noticed that some accounts were making money. I thought “The memes I post are better, I could do this”. And so I created my account in 2017,” he shared.

    I was in a craft club. One women "decided" I was a closeted lesbian & that I was her soul mate. Never mind the fact I'm happily married to A MAN that I adore. She just wouldn't leave me alone. I tried being polite but firm, in that I was not attracted to her IN THE LEAST, but when she grabbed me and tried to kiss me - the gloves came off. I basically told her if I WERE a lesbian, she would be the LAST person on EARTH that I would ever f*ck. Still didn't work. I threatened to file a restraining order (pretty sure she had driven past my house on more than one occasion - completely nowhere near her house) and the leader of the craft club finally just kicked her out. F*cking bye, Natalie - you creep.

The people that know the inner workings of this place, that know everything that goes on and when... what doors are unlocked, or can be unlocked... people that are easier to bribe and can have a direct personal effect on your every day life.

    The janitor at my old school was the greatest guy ever. His name was Hans and he wore a Mr Strong t-shirt and we all loved him! Once he crowbarred a drain open so a kid could get their toy back.

    Janitors are THE unsung heros of EVERY work place! Without them doing their job, EVERY workplace would come to a slimmy greasy halt within a month! As for shareholders, those are the useless blood sucking sacks of dog 💩 that we need to get rid of!

    They're also the people who put up the money to start the business in the first place. Stop paying them back, by all means, then wonder why nobody will fund anything in the future?

    My Sister lives in a very rural area and they only have 2 schools for the whole town. She was a custodian/janitor/teaching assistant and had to help cover both schools. She knew EVERYTHING about the Faculty, Students, Parents and the administration both personally and professionally. Hell, it doesn't matter where you work, I can guarantee that if you want dirt or gossip ALWAYS go to the housekeeping, janitors or custodians because they see and hear pretty much anything and everything that you can think of.

    My now adult children's elementary school had two of the most genuinely loved janitors. One died in an accident on Thanksgiving Day. They weren't going to have the funeral until the day the kids went back to school. But the school decided to stay closed that day and all of the kids and parents were at the funeral. It was beautiful.

    Last school I worked in, the head caretaker was on the senior management team for events and competitions. School I'm in now, cleaner is definitely considered a respected member of staff - kids even got her flowers for bringing in loads of mud after a rainy sports day. I have been in schools where it's not the case, but they are the minority here.

    We wanted to explore this idea of what makes one meme better than another, as they have been around for quite a bit. So we asked Sam to give his best shot at breaking it down. “A good meme contains a funny image/video with a super relatable/funny caption,” he shared with Bored Panda.

    At 12, I wrote to the president of the United States because I had the genius idea that we could go to school 2 days a week and have a5 day weekend. I didn't know why no one else had thought of it before. I got back a letter signed by the president (or possibly stamped by an aide, who knows) and a book about the White House. In middle school, I started sending ideas to companies and asking them for a share of the profit if they make my product. Most ignored me, but one wrote back to tell me that the idea was already patented, but they thought I had a bright future and wanted me to send more ideas. In high school, I started a petition to raise the speed limit on a highway, and finally I was successful, the speed limit on I-75 in Broward county, FL is 70 instead of 55 thanks to me, and to a congresswoman who agreed with my petition!

    Can confirm. I have determined that the best trade off for satisfying, reasonably healthy, and quick and easy is a cheese omlette. Add microwave steam-in-the-bag frozen veg for bonus heath points. Supermarket fridge soups + toast are another good option.

The French baguettes are also stoopid expensive and don’t taste anything like the baguettes I still dream about. Tom, you need to go live in France. There are quintillions of cheeses all around the world but France does baguettes and cheese like no other nation.

    Meal prepping can save you a lot of time, and it's great to help you maintain your health goals. If you know you've got a healthy meal ready for you, you're less likely to order out. Can't recommend it enough, especially for people who are very busy. ▪️▪️▪️ If you're cooking for 2, cook for 6 instead and freeze the rest. You might spend some extra time on peeling vegetables etc, but it's a lot less work than cooking that same meal thrice. ▪️▪️I've got a disability whose impact varies every day. On the good days I cook large portions, and freeze the rest. Do that a couple of times and you get a wide selection of healthy meals. Stews, soups, curries, pasta sauce, stamppot, chilli, and fried rice freeze well. ▪️▪️▪️If I've got a bad day where only one arm is working, a healthy meal with plenty of vegetables is just a beep away. It's great for portion control too: I can easily make half size portions for days when I can't be active.

    “The image/video is the most important component of a meme, you can have an average caption but if the content you’re using is really good, it will carry the meme and still be really funny. If you’re able to write a caption that hasn’t been overused and is still relatable/funny and the image/video you’re using is great in itself, that’s the recipe for a viral meme.” Interestingly, the caption might be one of the oldest indicators of a meme, that separates it from a generic “funny image.”

    Ok but for real. When my ex lost something he used to stand in the middle of a room and just pivot in a circle and tell me he couldn’t find the item in the room. I’d walk in and flip back the blankets, check under the bed, check the pockets of the hoodie he wore yesterday - like actually putting in effort to look for the item - and every time I’d miraculously find the item. It genuinely drove me crazy because I thought he was trying to make me just do it for him on purpose cause he was lazy and grew up with his mom doing everything for him. Turns out I was right and that’s exactly what he was doing. Couldn’t handle the real world without his mommy or another woman taking care of him and cooking all his meals cause he doesnt know how to feed himself at all, but still insisted he was an “alpha” or whatever the boys are obsessed with these days hahahaha 🤡 like b***h if the apocalypse happened and you didn’t have women to take care of you you’d be dead yesterday lmfao we can even hunt and kill and protect ourselves so what do you do?

    At the same time, managing a page that posts memes might be harder than it seems. The internet is changing with content rules morphing year to year, often without warning. “Running a meme account has become harder and harder as time goes on, unfortunately.

    I have a vivid memory of playing Donkey Kong 64 that we had rented from Blockbuster. There's the smell of pancakes coming from the kitchen. I can taste the maple. It's a winter morning--you can smell the cold in the air just beyond the window, damp and kind of musty. Love it.

    When we gather to chant the song over the flame-crowned offering, we must follow through. If we do not, we weaken the protections around the soul we've gathered to chant for. If a year passes on that soul with no gathering, no chant, and no flame-crowned offering, the contract still remains whole, the soul still protected. But if you have the gathering, the three pillars must be observed for the sake of the soul you have gathered for.

    My husband and two dear friends reclaimed my birthday for me this year by singing that song for me. It was so kind and comforting. When my mom died I couldn’t celebrate anything for a long time but birthdays were the worst. This year was the first time that could bear her not being there and that was thanks to my husband and friends.

    My grandma made us do it every time. No friends, only you in uncomfortable "nice clothes" with your sibling in identical clothes with identical hairstyle (we were not twins, our hair was different in every way), with our parents, our grandma and usually also her handmade cake, usually with some questionable addon or change. Would you like a very sweet and oily tasting cake with some unrecognisable berry lumps more sour than a lemon? Or honey cake with a chocolate filling instead of caramel/milk and with added kiwi slices between layers and some grapes and whipped cream on top to make it "more festive"?

    It is always helpful to learn some off-grid basic techniques. Since +/- 30 years more and more of our activities depend heavily on things circling the globe and can be switched off by the owner at any given time, without notice. Or fail, without the possibility to have a technician get it go within hours. Prepper craze is not necessary, but ask (grand)parents how they handled things before satnav and smartphone were a thing. And learn to read maps, understabd street signs giving directions and some basic navigation skills.

    Cute, isn't it? It's what makes a child's world a magical one. We're very happy to be aunt and uncle to my BIL's kids, and we did our best to make the holidays magical for them.▪️▪️▪️ In the Netherlands we celebrate Sinterklaas, it's a holiday on December the 5th or 6th. The American Santa figure was based on him and other European holidays, but Sinterklaas has nothing to do with Christmas here.▪️▪️▪️Sinterklaas makes the rounds together with his helpers (Pieten). Sinterklaas rides a horse that can walk on rooftops, and his Pieten are such great acrobats that they follow him up there and go through the chimney. They drop off jute bags filled with presents and they throw handfuls of sweets into your house.▪️▪️▪️Our nieces are 2 and 4 and still really believe in Sinterklaas. We hid the bags of presents in the garage and asked the neighbour to give a loud knock on the front door and to throw sweets down the hall. (To be continued, I'll add a reply)

    Continued! The kids were a bit startled by the loud knocking, but we encouraged them to go and look. When they saw the first signs of Sinterklaas activity they got enthusiastic. When they saw the bags with presents their eyes turned the size of saucers, and they ran around the house squealing with delight 🥰▪️▪️▪️There was some question though why they hadn't seen any Pieten, because they were so eager to see them in action. I mentioned that they must have gone back upon the roof again, and that was accepted as completely logical 😁▪️▪️▪️Funny bit: people who work on roofs or wash windows sometimes dress up as Pieten in the holiday season. It gives the kids a real moment of delight.

    The first time I heard the term "blow-j*b" I was at camp and about nine or ten. Id had a book that showed how babies were made so I did have a basic understanding of the mechanics of it...i had seen a flaccid (deflated) member during my male cousins diaper changes and such...so I thought the woman had to blow into it to inflate it like a balloon so it was rigid enough to do its thing.

    When I was really very young, I never understood how actors/singers kept changing their outfits mid video in a quick second. I thought the crew had doppelgängers lined up each wearing a different outfit, and the camera would nonstop keep zooming to a different doppelgänger for different scenes. I don’t know where I got that idea from 😂

    And five times a week is still only $12,600, and that's still not a house deposit. So if you have to bribe yourself to leave the house and go to work each day, remember that small pleasures and rewards are increasingly important in an economy that makes traditional milestones unachievable.

    Anyone I know with a Starbucks habit goes more than once a week. What I've saved over the past 20 years making quality coffee at home wouldn't buy a house but it would buy a halfway decent used vehicle. And actually, I just did the math and I've saved more than I paid for the down payment on my house but in fairness, I bought my house in 2003.

    Starbucks prices are ridiculous for average tasting drinks... If I'm paying $9 + tip for one specialty drink it had best be a loaded cocktail. (Prices in BC, Canada inc tax for a large flavored cold brew). If you make that a daily habit, maybe throw in some $10 sandwiches a few times a year on top of it you're looking at $40k after 10 years

    We who work in the grocery biz figure you really aren't a permanent staff member until you have dropped your first carton of eggs. I did myself proud. It was a two dozen carton.

    I didn't actually seen this but a family member told me this .Many many many years ago when I was just a young man, I have a younger brother. We all are short men. One time my younger brother had a motorcycle. He had a girlfriend. He was driving it. She was sitting behind him. He got pulled over by the cops. The cop asked for his driver license. The cop let him go. Why he was pulled over because the cop thought he was to young to drive a motorcycle because of his height.

    You don't grok the social context. It was *affluence* when a SAHM could skip all the work involved in setting a full meal on the table and instead deliver a full dinner in front of the TV. My dad was a carpenter, and he was the one bought that sh** - made him feel less impoverished. That was when he started eating peanut butter and baloney sandwiches as a bedtime snacK every single day - five years later, heart attack. All of us kids learned to cook and deliver plates to our parental couch potatoes just to have real food. Half if us don't even have TVs because Andy Griffith and Wheel of Fortune meant we had to raise ourselves.

    I hope they were tears of joy because that joke is hilarious, particularly for a seven year old

    My husband asked me to marry him on April's Fools. He was serious. I said yes. We got married.

    My parents got married on April Fools Day, too! After they got divorced-- which was inevitable--I told my mom the only divorce proceedings required should have been yelling "April Fools" and walking away. Sadly it didn't work that easy.

    My parents married 4/15/ 56. Tax day. My brother born 10/7/56. My realization in 1976 that bro was a 10 lbs premie. My mom wasn't "like that". ;)

    Sad, as the marriage may have turned into a joke or she just did not get the satire.

    Good that the third word starts with L, not W. (After 5 hours, I have 2 Downvotes. Not surprising. But I wonder if they didn't like the joke, or disagreed with the premise. I hope it was the former.)

    People believe that they win these because their story touched somebody's cold dead heart. No, they wrote well, and made it sound real, and that is what wins competitions, not the facts of the story. There are no prizes for whose life was the saddest.

    You’ve never seen the TV show “Queen For A Day” from the 1960s. My mom said it was the most depressing and disturbing show ever. All of the contestants had the most horrible things happen to them, and the worst was the winner. I watched it on YouTube once, and I still wonder about that “hillbilly” woman from Arkansas who won a hospital bed because her husband had been shot in the back. She also won some appliances, a make up hamper, and some day and evening gowns from a Beverly Hill couture. I wonder where she wore those evening gowns most.

    We had to do an "Interview an Immigrant" essay in junior year history or English class (they were in the same classroom). I totally made one up because I'm not about to seek out a stranger to ask awkward questions to. I even set the scene by asking the teacher if I could do a telephone interview with a friend of my mom's who had since moved to another state. My mom didn't have an immigrant friend. I got an A.

    In the 1950s my godmother, whilst in hospital with TB, won a trip to England (from NZ) in a true story competition. Her story was called "I Was a Dipsomaniac". She wasn't, but the story was based on a real character at the psychiatric hospital where she was working (and contracted TB). Our favourite story about one of the patients was the nymphomaniac who used to escape and "terrorise" local farmers, but I guess that wouldn't have been an acceptable competition entry back in the fifties. My godmother was, by the way, in and out of hospital for 10 years until she recovered from TB, so we should be very grateful immunisation programmes have largely eliminated it in many parts of the world.

    I painted a friend a picture of The Last Supper using every comic cat I could think of in place of the people. Bill was Jesus & dressed as Elvis. I titled it “The Last Shrimp Cocktail”. - These things happen. And I would have bought that. I would have it hanging in my house.

    Thank you. I was wondering if that was supposed to be Aunt Jemimah or something but she didn't look right for that. But I could see the other three were famous fast food icons so it made sense the black lady was something similar, I just couldn't place her.

    Found at a garage sale, you say? Hmm. Might it have belonged to the people having the garage sale? So probably them. They had it hanging in their house most likely.

    It's a fun thing to have in the den or kitchen, once you can identify the persons. Most people know the guys, the girl on the bottom right is the US Wendy (in the Netherlands we have our own, and US Wendy looses claim after claim). I cannot place the lady in the back.
