"You want a toe? I can get 'ya a toe. Heck, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock WITH nail polish."

You're right. They're not Cavendish. They might be Orinocos.

I worked there briefly in the late 80's as a cashier. I'll always regret not exploring more of the non-public areas of the complex. It's sad that all that remains of the place now is a tiny bronze plaque, given how huge that store was in the culture of the area. Something of a town square. You just never knew what long lost friend you were going to bump into while shopping there.

I might need new glasses as I initially read that text as a SORORITY checkpoint. You pull up, roll down the window and some cheery co-ed asks: "Delta-Delta-Delta can I help ya, help ya, help ya?"

Whichever you decide, (and especially if you are selling electronics or anything else high dollar) please consider meeting a potential buyer in a well-trafficked public space, or at the police station. I'm reading about a lot of incidents (especially with FB Marketplace and OfferUp) with people having knives or guns pulled on them.

February might not really be Worcester at its best.

I wonder how many of these guys got up on the roof and were shocked at how much bigger than bear is close up, versus how big it looks when you're driving past it on 290.

80's.

Named after Orson Welles. The original bear was more…….rotund.

Yeah. Can’t count the number of times when I was a kid that the bear was stolen and restored. Every college kid in Worcester must have stolen it at some point.

Back in the day, anyone lookin' "shaahp" woulda gone to D'Iorio's.

> this seems like less of a breakthrough than they imply.

Isn't hyperbole a prerequisite of most science reporting?

Luca Brasi.

In the mannequin catalog, that model is called the Dirty Sanchez.

As someone with ADD, who loves cinema, I don't know that I can relate to your question. Personally, I don't know that frantic movies with a lot of action and cuts really helps. And even even with the most staid, mellow Merchant-Ivory costume drama, there are still frequent cuts between shots that keep the picture changing. Self medicating with a little bit of caffeine (and putting away my phone) is generally enough for m to get through any movie. I'm low key wondering if your man is just maybe using this as an excuse to get out of watching the movies you're into (and he's not).

They should have killed Uncle Rico and saved Jennifer.

Or ghost. Or Sopranos-esque dream sequences.

Jennifer Coolidge. Somehow.

For a second there I thought you were talking about the company Meta. I was thinking, yeah, The Social Network certainly used Meta properly.

Spoiler alert: Google is snooping at everything you do on Android and commoditizing your activity for profit.

Worcester is a city, not a town. Not that that site cares as the content is more than overtaken by all of the pop-up advertising that makes the text unreadable. Jesus.

Man, I just want a robot to take care of me when I'm old. I gotta say I thought we'd be a bit further along by now. And I'm in GenX so I'm starting to worry. And they wouldn't have to look and work as well as Ex Machina. Though that certainly wouldn't hurt.

More great talent wasted on old, rehashed ideas.

Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?
