Things That Amuse You

They broke the record in a few minutes. I think it was 1300+ icemen.

Your numbers are transposed.

Ahnold was on the Rich Eisen Show promoting his book. Apparently when they were casting Terminator it was between him and OJ. Ahnold said he was cast because James Cameron though OJ didn't look enough like a killer.

And he thought Arnie did?!?!?
Seems more like James realized Arnie was less un-killer like.

But then I suppose it's the ones that don't look like killers that you really have to watch out for.

The number of people using Panera as an office.

The Terminator came out in 1984. OJ’s trial was in 1994. And I’m sure James had watched Conan the Barbarian. Pretty sure OJ’s characters on film to that time were relatively tame (but none really come to mind from the early 80’s).

How about the number of people using Panera as a place to eat??

[Ted Striker]

My thought exactly.

[Danno]

Panera isn't bad. :shrug:

It's kind of the Applebee's of bread.

I don't go there for bread. My daughter likes the broccoli cheese soup, and it's decent, and I get the green goddess salad which is also decent. For fast casual chain food, I think it's pretty good.

Burlington sounds great

The whole push by corporate America for making Santa, Nutcrackers, Angels "diverse." Not just making Santa black, but handicapped too!!! I put this in the "things that amuse" me thread as it is SO preposterous it doesn't even annoy me. I honestly found it laugh out loud hilarious. Except for a couple of the HandiSantas, pretty much ALL the Santas were black. Well, except that 4' tall one might be Indian. Clearly CVS and Target (where I took these pictures) are working REALLY hard to score some ESG points with this one. Anyway, I was highly amused.

[J. Barron DeJong]

I’ll give you exclusively white Santas when Jesus is exclusively portrayed as brown.

Seriously, who gets worked up about this? Especially the black angel.

[frorider]

Saint Nicholas was from the region of present day Turkey right? Who knows exactly what shade of skin he had, and who cares.

[skaredshtles]

Montucky... always bringing the hot-take.

[Danno]

Montucky with yet another own goal.

[Cisco Kid]

Amusing. St Nicholas is not Santa Clause. Coca Cola caused White Santa go viral. Non white toys trigger some types people.

Stereotypical southern white crackers?

I will say that HandiSanta is pretty amusing. But still, Austin is arguing that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is supposed to look eurocentric.

Which is like being the thinnest kid a fat camp, but yeah, if you're at an airport, some awful food court, or similar, seeing a Panera is huge relief. The hidden menu is legit healthy eating: https://www.tastingtable.com/1279961...a-hidden-menu/

Has it ever been cleared that he’s actually spaghetti and not just some other noodle? Given the time frame I would assume he should look Chinese

[Timberridge]

Santa lives at the North Pole, though nobody has specified whether it's the magnetic or geographic one, so he could be Eskimo.

[Core Shot]

I don’t get the hate.

Black Santa. Handy Santa. It’s cool. If your kid were black or in a wheelchair that would be an awesome thing.
Although I’m guessing there’s not that much demand for handy Santa. Wait until after Christmas for the clearance sale.

I hope there’s a whole wheat Flying Spaghetti Monster for African Americans. Or maybe squid ink if you want to go real dark.

And rice noodle Flying Spaghetti Monster for the Asians

PS. I’m amused that my iPhone automatically capitalized the deity.

Pretty sure it's in Upstate.
