Excruciatingly Trivial Items Thread

Sounds like it's time for Green M&M's and a canoe trip Frank. The ice is out up there eh?

Ice has broken up and the pool heater is on.
I've got to buy some M&M's for my wife. She likes chocolate.

OKAY!

Name Three 1960's Sitcom's that were based on mishaps with NASA Spacecraft.

I Dream of Jeannie

It's About Time

I Dream of Jeannie

My Favorite Martian (probably not)

That Sherwood Schwartz was all over the place making tv shows

 

[FrankS]

Nope! That was serious drama...

🙂 How could I forget! 🙂

Danger! Danger! Danger!

Over here in the Middle East, we get Swiss & Belgian dark chocolate.

And, I'm doing more dSLR work and loving it 🙄

..."The Fart Book"

I love that. Bathroom books are cultural bear-traps; everybody reads 'em.


Cheers,

It was? 😱
Every episode I was subjected to, I expected that doctor(?) to utter "... and I would've got away with it too, if it weren't for these meddling kids". 😉

Scooby Doo, no?

I was always waiting for Dr. "Smith" to say to the kids, "Don't be scared, I'm the one that has to go back to the space ship by myself..."
Shatner and Nimoy together..."Hawaiian Eye" maybe? I've seen the show but can't quite recall. Route 66?

The first year od Lost in Space, the B&W year, was "serious stuff". After that, it went Campy.

Ah, fair enough. I only saw the colour stuff... which was... average. 🙂

erikhaugsby: Yep, that quote can be found in various "Scooby Doo" cartoons. 🙂

My younger siblings loved Scooby Do, and so I unwillingly watched a lot of the shows and I'd bet serious money that the bad guy said that in every episode. Oddly, I did enjoy the movie version.

ROFL, that's where most catalogs are around here too, including the new B&H. You'll probably find a couple of weeks-old fan/gossip mags there too, but those are my roommate's. Yeah, that's the ticket. 🙂

And where all the green M & M's have gone missing...right? 😉

Also there (TUBoPF) are:

"The Fart Book" and
"Cucumbers Are Better Than Men Because"

Yikes...you must know at least one of my former GFs...

(Do I dare say "Go Bombers!"?)🙂

I'll cut you a bit o' slack there...they need all the cheering-on they can get. 😉

Okay.

How about a 1960's Television Series that featured William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy together in an Episode- NOT Star Trek.

Leonard Nimoy must have guest starred in an episode of TJ Hooker.

edit: answered before I saw the answer.

Dark chocolate M&M's when I can have Scharffenberger 70% cacao? No contest! (Unless all the M&M's are green ones and the kids are hunting for quarters in the yard 😉).

Do you suppose that if we eat nothing but dark chocolate and some source of fiber, washed down with nothing but red wine and green tea, that we would live forever?

I can't say, but if you manage to find those errant green M & M's and have 'em for dessert afterward, I hope you're with someone you really like...😉

So what's the difference between Budweiser and Making love in a canoe ?

............

It's both f****** close to water ....

Moderator, forgive me for I have sinned.

If you had susbstituted Coors, you'd have gotten off with a light sentence. 😀

The dark chocolate M&Ms are GOOD. This isn't the first time they had them. When Star Wars Episode III came out in theaters they did the whole dark and light side of the Force thing, which were dark and milk chocolate M&Ms. I was addicted to the peanut dark chocolate until they stopped making them.

Thanks, Steph. Missed that when they came out (probably because I decided to stay as far away from the SW "prequels" as possible; fogie that I am, I thought the franchise went downhill after The Empire Strikes Back).

Damn it, Brian, you're asking hard trivia questions. I'm trying to keep it light here! 😛

What if I asked you something out-of-the-blue, which only a Boomer Of a Certain Age Who Watched WAY Too Much TV As a Kid (make your own acronym outta this one, folks) would know, like:

Name all the cars Mike Connors drove throughout the entire Mannix series? (No, I don't need Google to remind me...I was that bad a kid)

See? I'd never pull a trivia stunt like that. 🙄

The other day I was going to bed. My wife had already turned in,
so it was me who had to switch off the light. One by one I turned
them off - then I was wondering, where does it go ?

Seriously, where does the light go when you switch it off ?

I found out.

Next time you do like me, when all the lights are out,
open the fridge. There it is !

Roland.

I guess that keeps it fresh until tomorrow night, eh? 😎

following the rule of Seven Degrees of Separation.. I'm not a fan of Costner, but the guy who built the canoe I just purchased , the Merrimack Souhegan, also built the canoe that Costner took his young bride for a paddle in directly after their wedding ceremony

(and the crowd says "big whoop")

And I thought it was all 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon... You know, the Kevin who can actually ACT.

 

[FrankS]

Seven Degrees of Separation from Kevin Costner / 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon, it's all the same. 🙂
