You know you want to.

I’m not sure I can top Benjamin but here goes…
1. A Single Samurai.
Even Kurosawa would have had a time with that.
2. Star War.
After the appearance of Jar Jar, this might have been a good thing.
3. The Grape of Wrath.
And I thought it wasn’t possible that film could be any more depressing.
4. One Angry Man.
They’re everywhere these days, so that doesn’t seem to be much of a stretch.
5. Edward Scissorhand.
Try and trim a topiary with that Ed.
Your turn!
.
.
It won’t take much time.
I promise.

This is an easy one for me. Calves liver with onions. My parents were fans, but I’ve been known to run screaming from the room at the mere sight of it. Basically any organ meat will elicit a similar reaction, but my mother cooked this on a regular basis so I had lots of practice avoiding it.
Liver tonight? Gee mom, I can’t. Softball practice.
Liver? Sorry mom, art club meeting.
Dessicated cow organs? I’d love to… but the circus is in town and they need a new elephant handler.
Any excuse would do. But she got wise after a while and decided to force me to eat it one night. Silly woman, thinking she could out stubborn 10 year old me.
She served dinner… I ate the potatoes and vegetables and left the liver untouched. She told me I would eat it. I told her I would not. She said I couldn’t get up from the table until it was gone. I said no problem and settled in for the night. If I wouldn’t eat it freshly cooked and hot did she really think I’d eat it cold and congealed?
The war of wills had begun, but after an hour and a half my father… ever the peacemaker…. let our notorious food stealing beagle in the back door and I ( accidentally, of course ) dropped my plate on the floor.
Bye bye liver.
My mother lost that battle and never tried to force me to eat it again. She did continue to serve it though.
🤢
How about you? What meal haunted your childhood dinner table…
.
.
Because it won’t take long, and you’re already here.
.
.
All of you know where I’m from, but I’ll start.
.
.
Our state’s best selling beer from its most popular brewery. Also currently on tap in the man cave/Barn Mahal.
.
.
Your turn…
.
.
It won’t burn any calories, but who are you kidding? You weren’t going to exercise anyway.
.
.
Humphrey Bogart will always be Sam Spade.
Alec Guinness will always be Obi Wan Kenobi.
Anthony Hopkins will always be Hannibal Lecter.
Marlon Brando will always be The Godfather.
Tim Curry will always be Dr. Frank-n-Furter.
Your turn!

Not everyone will be able to participate in this game, but you can always stick around to read the comments.

1976 Plymouth Fury. She wasn’t pretty…
.
.
But she was a behemoth with a powerful V-8.
I was 16, dating a much older man who drove me and my girlfriends around whenever we wanted to drink and get loud. Looking back, it wasn’t exactly kosher…. but not much of my teenage years was.
We had the radio cranked up, flying down some long deserted country road we’d never travelled before. My guy was driving dangerously fast, not that we realized it at the time… and then poof. The road disappeared from under us as we crested a hill we didn’t know was there.
Airborne? You betcha. We landed with a thud, broke the frame of the car and were damned lucky we lived to tell the tale.
I saw the speedometer reach 115+ … so I’m counting it.
How about you?
.
.
It won’t strain your brain, I promise.
.
.
I love how’s there’s nothing unequivocal here. When, not if. Yay for me.
What will I never stop eating?
I won’t say burgers…. because there will always be wagyu beef.
I won’t say pizza… because there will always be artisanal pies with truffles.
So I’ll go with one of my guilty, rarely admitted pleasures.
.
.
I confess, I’m all about the San Francisco treat. When the husband is away or eating elsewhere? I’ve been known to simmer up a package and eat the whole thing in one sitting.
But I do add freshly steamed broccoli, I’m not a heathen.
How about you… What aren’t you giving up after your bank account expands?
.
.
This one’s easy. It won’t hurt at all.
I promise.
.

There’s only one answer for me. Disneyland. (Or World). The planet’s largest theme parks hold absolutely no appeal for me and at this point in my life I think I’d rather take a cruise ship straight to Hell than stroll the over crowded streets of the over priced plastic fantastic pinnacle of capitalism that is Disney.
.
.
But then, I dislike theme parks in general. Busch Gardens? Great Adventures? Been there, hated them both. Honestly? I didn’t even like them when I was a child. They’re just so… fake.
So how about you…
Where do you never want to vacation that everyone else loves?
.
.
Grab your geek cap and meet me on Dagobah.
.
.
(Yes, I see the misspelling. It hurts my brain but I’m playing anyway. )
.
.
Well, if I only had one…. I could do worse.
.
.
Lying to Obi Wan would be fruitless. He’d know you were full of crap before you even opened your mouth.
.
.
That might be a bridge too far.
And now….
A little Star Wars humor, just because I can.
.
.
Star Wars and Game of Thrones?
Be still my heart.
.
.
Maybe getting old won’t be so bad after all…
.
.
Because you can’t think of a good enough excuse not to.
.
.
I’ll start and you guess.
1- I am the danger.
2- Valar Morghulis.
3- We were on a break.
4. – I like my money right where I can see it… hanging in my closet
5. – Let’s be careful out there.
6. – Buy land, cause God ain’t making any more of it.
Your turn.
Guess… then give me one of your own.
.
.
Because you’re never too old for games.
.

After the past two years of crazed pandemic shopping and empty store shelves? There’s only one answer for me…
Toilet paper!
Lock your doors and windows….
I’m coming for your Charmin.
.
.
So what are you stealing?

River's world.....
