Continuing our series, "Why would you do that?"

Back in the 1920s there was a candy bar named Chicken Dinner.

You could go to the Kentucky Theater in Lexington. They generally show films you wouldn't normally see at mainstream theaters. Both movies they're showing this weekend have pretty good reviews. I wouldn't mind seeing them myself.

Fort Boonesborough isn't far away. I haven't been there for at least 25 years, so I no longer know what it's like, but it should be reasonably interesting. (I should go. I hadn't realized it had been so long.)

If you end up in Richmond after the fort, try Madison Garden. I used to hang out there when I was in college back in the 1980s; since then they've branched out into being a restaurant as well as a bar. Probably more of a restaurant nowadays. Again, another place I need to revisit.

If you're interested in target shooting you could go to the Gun Warehouse and rent a gun. There are probably other ranges around Lexington or maybe even Danville, but since I'm not a Lexingtonian, that's the only one I know of offhand.

Looks like the leftover fat from a liposuction.

Downvote. The entire article that contains this picture was just posted yesterday. I don't normally care much about reposts, but at least let a few days go by -- and repost the entire thing, not just one picture from it.

I like this house a mile or two away on Keys Crescent.

He could have been paraphrasing Oliver Cromwell:

The reference is to Oliver Cromwell, who famously wrote to the synod of the Church of Scotland on August 5, 1650 saying

I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible that you may be mistaken.

Ah, good, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

Looks like a good deal. I can't really tell from the picture, but aren't they hanging a bit low? I think I see some holes next to the seat that might indicate that they can be raised somewhat. I'd be concerned that the one on the right-hand side might touch the tailpipe and get burnt.

Sounds like the seller has a good sense of humor.

Aha! Attempted burnout. I wondered what he was doing. I kept expecting him to take off far too quickly and crash into something.

Looks like a great bike for long, straight interstate riding, if you like lying on your stomach while you ride. Otherwise, I think it's just mechanical masturbation.

Even dogs have distinct personalities, so even though I've never met a chimpanzee, I don't find it at all surprising that they have personalities, too.

I first read A Clockwork Orange in a library copy that had the final chapter, and was later a bit perturbed when I bought my own copy and that chapter was missing. I'm with Burgess here: I think it makes it a better book, although that may be because that's how I read it first, before I saw the movie. However, it doesn't bother me that the movie leaves that out, because it's the kind of thing I expect a movie to do, and things that work well in a book don't always play well in a movie.

Red Alert is a decent but forgettable book, unlike the movie, which is a masterpiece of satire. It may have been shocking when it was first published (unless you were a science fiction reader), but now it's interesting mainly for being a look at the Cold War, for being the basis for Dr Strangelove, and a pathbreaker for many other nuclear war novels that followed. I read it about a year ago and liked it, but little has remained with me. It's a quick, easy read, so if you get a chance at it, I don't think you'll regret it.

Why shouldn't you enjoy Chili Peppers?

Nicholas Meyer was the author. It was also made into a movie IIRC.

There are several stories about how this meme started. The Rational Wiki has links to them.

Bad reason: clear glass looks like water. Water is a liquid, so glass is a liquid, too.

I recently learned that The Wizard of Oz is the ultimate chick flick, because it's about two women trying to kill each other over shoes. :-)

I read 1421 out of curiousity. The author saw evidence of Chinese everywhere, so much so that thinking of it now, he reminds me of the Ancient Aliens guy who sees evidence of aliens everywhere.

Did you do that on porpoise? (Receptacle)

The meaning become clear when you know that 'proof' here is a verb meaning 'test'.
