Just something odd I noticed. I've been looking to purchase chocolate coins for the St. Patrick's Day gala coming up next month, and I noticed that all of them, made by at least 2 different manufacturers, all have President Kennedy's face on them. Why Kennedy? When I went looking for chocolate coins to hand out for Halloween all I found were ones with Menorah's for Hanukkah on them. Granted, I didn't look further than WM.com (since I get a discount).
Is the St. Paddy's Day event at work or elsewhere? There's a big St. Paddy's Day run down here sponsored by McGuire's Irish Pub (one of my favorite local restaurants), but not alot of other events (that I know of).

Why Kennedy? Are they about the size of a half-dollar?

It's at work, thrown by the Morale Committee. I normally am not a member but I happened to have lunch where they were meeting that day and got roped in.

But I really landing in this thread to post this reddit comics save. I used to know a dude who was just like this. He was a Bill though (not "our" Billy of course).

I probably ought to know the answer to this, but I have a postal correspondent inquiring about a movie they vaguely recall from the 1970's. All they remember is: Early on there is talk about hex signs on New England barns...a boy is tormenting his brother in a crib...and the mother finds horrible things in jars in cupboards.
Any of that ring a bell with anybody? Maybe "Crowhaven Farm"? That's one I haven't seen from the era that's supposed to be pretty good. There's so many damned occult-themed movies from back then, but I'm drawing a blank. Halp?

At $2.75 for a tiny sack I let them slide but at least I know there are others to be had, in copper, white, red and sky-blue...

I'm 75% certain that's an extremely garbled memory of The Other, a super-nifty evil child movie from 1972.

Ohhhh, this is so familiar...I am remembering a fairly low-budget movie with a made-for-TV feel. It wasn't based on that novel. GOT IT! It was called SOMETHING EVIL. I thought I had to be remembering wrong but sure enough, it had Darren McGavin AND it turns out to have been directed by Steven Spielberg.

I was at the post office yesterday and spotted a box of Anti-Viral Kleenex on the counter. It had an ingredients list. Each tissue includes citric acid, an antioxidant, and sodium lauryl sulfate, a chemical I've seen listed on every bottle of shampoo I've ever read. It's a foaming agent that's also used to degrease car engines, among other uses. It's one of the factors that causes the stinging sensation when suds get in your eyes. Inert ingredients-- meaning the Kleenex -- make up 90.47% of the total.
Not at all sure how this guarantees the death of 99% of germs that touch the tissue, but OK.
