Iirc (and I saw the film enough times) he ended up wearing the skin of the head alien, en route to the alien homeworld with a chainsaw in him lap.

Both the character and the actor went very far indeed.

As ever, Newt, thank you for the effort you put in to debunking this. It's not great that I'm relying on an amphibian to vet my sources, and I certainly give disclaimers when I repeat this kind of stuff, but at this stage I open these stories just to see your rebuttal.

Yes, I just said I come to see your rebuttal. Own it.

I admit I like the sound of it.
recto + saponification + Cricetidae

A lot of people don't realise that you can just make up words and so long as a meaning is agreed upon, they can become real. It's a perfectly cromulent approach.

Hey, newt. I think this so often, but say it so rarely... thank you for your constant refuting of bullshit here. I often (internally) refer to you as The Sift's own attack-newt, and if you ever find yourself in Ireland I'd be honoured to get you a pint and talk shite with you for hours on end.

As you like to say over there, thank you for your service.

Just saw your conversation with Newt about Phrasle. Just to say, I still play about 4-5 days a week too, and love the reward of learning about the phrase. Of course, it's up to you to say if the effort is worth it, but it's definitely appreciated.

Sorry, I got half way through the trailer and had to stop. I can't stand trailers that tell the first 2/3 of the film in 5-second snippets.

You might find it funny that we had The Banana Splits in Ireland too, and it was one of my favourite shows. In fact, a couple of weeks ago I was singing the intro to my own son.

Damn right. Good thing Goggle's there's to protect us from all the tracking

In case you're interested, I use a plugin to redirect youtube, instagram, and a few others to alternative sources that at least claim to respect your privacy a bit more.

It doesn't work a significant percent of the time, but it works well enough for me.

The one I use is Privacy Redirect (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/privacy-redirect/pmcmeagblkinmogikoikkdjiligflglb?ucbcb=1) but I'm sure there are plenty of others.

I just wanted to say thanks for the updates. I hope you don't forget that there are plenty of people out here - online and off - whose lives you make better in small ways whether or not you know it, and we care about you for one reason or another.

i.e. as I'd say any of my friends face-to-face, get well soon you old bastard, we're counting on you.

извените, дорогаи

My Russian is poor, but then so is my apology.

Here's a lovely optimistic Russian song to make up for them being so mean.

Good thing Jodysseus finally came up with a plan to end it.

Cheers for the promote... I was afraid this was going to be missed.

Cheers for the promote. It gave me the last push to a shiny new silver star.

I came here after hearing the sad news of Morricone's death, only to find this *dead.

Fortunately I can appreciate the genius of both this video and the composer at an alternative link here: https://youtu.be/4VD-ss1HPIE
