Wondering how I got so much Reddit karma from /r/LosAngeles. Turns out it's mostly from this picture of Elton John at Dodgers Stadium in 1975 :) -- (link) - con_carne Sep 19, 13:29 [Image] 1

Do you comic book nerds care that Captain Marvel is about to make an appearance in an Avengers movie? -- (link) - Epiphany Sep 19, 12:57 8
- no because none are the characters I grew up with. all have been re-origined several times.the films are fun, but these are not 'my' heroes. -- nm - peglegpete Sep 19, 13:17
- yup. -- nm - Remlik Sep 19, 12:59 1

    - Eh, let Carol be Ms. Marvel. Or even Warbird or Binary. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 13:02 1
      - nah. we already have a Ms. Marvel. She's the logical person to have the title. -- nm - Remlik Sep 19, 13:05

        Roman candles + metal garbage can lids. We fought like gladiators - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eleventh Astronaut Sep 19, 12:46 13
        
        Bottle rockets, but the same idea. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 19, 12:50 11
        
        roman candles were better, because they were multi shot. -- nm - groiny Sep 19, 12:50 10
        
        Totally agree. Never understood why we stuck with bottle rockets as a kid either. And I would always bring in extra munitions. - ReluctantCynic Sep 19, 12:57 6
        
        I lived right across the street from a school, so the huge playground would get used - groiny Sep 19, 13:02 2
        
        Clearly, you guys were awful shots. - Spawn Sep 19, 13:03 1

        Time to stock up! I need to visit that huge fireworks warehouse on I-84 just inside the Idaho border. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 19, 13:05 1
        
        There is one between me and Boise that sells all sorts of shit that is illegal in Idaho. You have to sign a piece of paper promising not to shoot them - crash davis Sep 19, 13:07
        
        Yeah, and the slight delay between shots gave you a chance to adjust. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 12:52 2
        
        This reminds me of one time when a buddy of mine went running and locked himself in an exterior storage closet. The gap under the door was large - crash davis Sep 19, 12:55 1
        
        Outstanding. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 12:56
        
        Gladiators had to have had roman candles. Its right there in the name. -- nm - crash davis Sep 19, 12:47
      - I don't get it. They're playing beer pong and kid is running with a knife. -- nm - Diva Sep 19, 12:39 13
        
        I'm certain that both beer pong and running with knives was a huge part of groiny's childhood :) -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eleventh Astronaut Sep 19, 12:46 1
        
        you are not wrong. -- nm - groiny Sep 19, 12:47

        Diva, kids shouldn't run with knives. -- nm - crash davis Sep 19, 12:41 6
        
        It is a pocket (folding) knife, and is closed. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 12:44 2
        
        doesn't matter, he shouldn't run with any knife until he is old enough to play beer pong -- nm - crash davis Sep 19, 12:45 1
        
        which is when he is tall enough to see over the cups -- nm - crash davis Sep 19, 12:46
        
        Why is it funny? -- nm - Diva Sep 19, 12:42 2
        
        a combination of the kid himself, his actions, the scene, the mother's scream and kilbo's subject line. kid just keeps on running -- nm - crash davis Sep 19, 12:44
        
        The sheer glee of him running with it and mom hightailing it right after him. -- nm - Remlik Sep 19, 12:43
        
        the cut the clip off right before he impaled himself on the blade. -- nm - groiny Sep 19, 12:40

LYC: iOS 11. meh. basically the same. Email has a giant "INBOX" taking up too much of the screen - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eleventh Astronaut Sep 19, 12:02 6
- Excellent. Notifications make sound but don't show up on home screen when I lift my phone now -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eleventh Astronaut Sep 19, 12:15 5
  - Heh. That's controllable in notification settings, maybe it glitched out? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 12:51 2
    - I'm going to chalk it up to a glitch because other stuff is showing up. I love it when my phone makes a sound with no visible indication of why -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eleventh Astronaut Sep 19, 12:54 1
      - my phone is almost never not on silent. I cringe when I hear people's notifications. like, have some respect, -- nm - amanda jones state university Sep 19, 13:00
