I don't do carbonated drinks. Saw it mentioned in season two of Dead to Me. Had to look it up to see if it was a real thing.
It's a thing...it's the "real thing", if you will.

I learned today that if you turn on a Chuck Norris film at any point during the movie, your experience is the same and you won't have missed anything important.

I imagine the same is also true of any Steven Seagal movie.

And Jean Claude Van Damme.
Must be something about the whole kicky, punchy motif.

While watching 'The Rockford Files', I've notice that, in almost every episode, there's either a close-up or a lingering shot of the license plate on Rockford's Pontiac Firebird. The plate number is 853 OKG. I wondered if this had any significance so I looked it up.
The '853' stands for 'August, 1953', the month and year Garner got his first acting job. The 'OKG' is for 'Oklahoma Garner' - he was born in Norman, Oklahoma.
While I don't ever expect to do anything with this new knowledge, I'm happy to have it.

"They" can actually implant a device into your corpus callosum and talk to you when they do it.

My ex-husband took me to a Chuck Norris movie on our first date. I'm pretty sure that's part of the reason the marriage didn't last.

I made The Wife sit through 300 with me and my best highschool buddy when it came out - I think that might have been our first date-date.
Pretty sure she enjoyed it more than me or my boy did - and here we are today, still together, still making time to sit together in a dark room and watch a bunch of oiled up dudes grope each other.

Additionally, I've continued to burn through lit on the warring states period in china, spurred on by a lost member of these boards. The dilemmas they faced present immanently sympathetic characters, and I've whittled more than a few hours away while tilling wondering, if I were Shihuangdi, whether I could have come up with a better solution.
