When it comes to drinking straws, I have become increasingly concerned about the plastic waste they produce. This is why I favor of straws that are biodegradable, like paper straws.
I also try to do my part by not using plastic straws offered at restaurants. I'll drink straight from the glass. 🙂

In the Transformers franchise, the two warring robot factions are the Autobots and the Decepticons.
Has any political right-winger ever referred to mindless out-of-control-spending liberals as "Autobots"?
Has any political left-winger ever referred to deceptive conservatives as "Decepticons"?

In capitalism, competition is supposed to lower prices, as an expensive business sees a competing business sell the same thing for less and then lowers the price to match.
So why is it that gas stations near each other, even at the same intersection, have wildly different gas prices? 🤷♂️

I just finished playing a recreational league ice hockey game.
GOOD NEWS: My team won by one goal.
ALSO GOOD NEWS: I scored the game-tying goal before a teammate scored the game-winning goal.

Note to cranky old people:
Stop clinging so hard to a world you once knew. You can't take anything with you once you leave this world. Also, the younger generation has many years ahead of them while you have much fewer years left. If you want to be happy, leave a better world for those after you.

Years ago, the state of Tennessee make it illegal to say "gay," or something along those lines. (I haven't confirmed the current status of that.)
In response, George Takei had a brilliant suggestion: "If you need to say 'gay,' just say 'Takei.'"
Maybe that could still help today. 🙂

I love it when Spoutible goes nuts over something.
Yesterday, it was the Best TV Theme for Spouting Classics.
Today, it's the great Hamburger-Meatball Food Fight. I predict that will descend into the Great Spoutible Meat War. 😄

A microwavable meal is convenient when I am busy, and while the taste is decent, it's nowhere near the same in quality as a freshly cooked meal.
For example, I am eating a Marie Callender's microwavable meal right now for lunch, but it's not even close to eating at a Marie Callender's restaurant.

Phantom notifications are happening again, which likely means the Spoutible team is doing more fixes, and that presumably is related to the upcoming app.
So today may very well be the last Sunday that we use the Spoutible website. Unless major delays occur, the app launch this week will be lit. 🙂

Dreams from 8.5 hours of deep sleep last night:
- Me in front of a hotel, wondering if I lost my room key
- Meeting a strange woman in her hotel room, while I wonder if she's into me
- Someone is about to walk in: a guy prepared to smother me in a blanket and ship me to Hawaii
(More next...)

Ladies and gentlemen, this is my 1,000th spout on my profile.
I owe this milestone to the entire #Spoutible community, for being such a friendly group interacting with everyone else. It gives us all an incentive to spout whatever we want to share.
With that, a toast...
To Spoutible. Cheers. 🥂 🙂

📺 TV SHOW APPRECIATION 📺
Fawlty Towers (1975 & 1979)
If you watch just one British sitcom, let it be this hysterical show about the trials of running an English hotel. If John Cleese as Basil Fawlty doesn't make you laugh, I don't know what will. 🙂

If you thought Into the Spider-Verse was incredible, this one is even better. You will marvel (pun intended) at the many alternate Spider men, women, etc. in another intriguing plot about worlds colliding. 🙂

I am sitting in a move theater getting ready to watch Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse.
Once again, I am choosing to spout during the trailers. These days, I'm so patient for the release of a movie that I could care less about the trailers.
Anyway, see you after the movie. 🙂

Inspector Gadget (1983-1986)
The title character is a bionic police inspector who bumbles his way through every case, with his niece and dog doing the actual crimefighting work, but nevertheless gets all the credit. 🙂

This is one of many James Bond-inspired spy shows, yet it's easy to forget that it is one. That's because the show is so damn funny poking fun at espionage and Don Adams as Maxwell Smart is hilarious. 🙂

Way to go, people! #SpoutingClassics and #BestTVTheme are at the top of the Making Waves page, with a whopping 20+ recent spouts each. For once, not every hashtag in Making Waves has only one spout each.
Then again, I rarely visit that page. At least we know it works as intended. 🙂

A rookie narcotics cop joins a corrupt veteran in the mean streets of Los Angeles. Ethan Hawke as Jake Hoyt is good, but Denzel Washington as Alonzo Harris truly steals the show, earning himself an Academy Award for Best Actor. 🙂

When it comes to parenting, we all agree that family life is good when the kids are raised well and bad when the kids are not.
How many of us also look at it on a societal scale? Society benefits from new productive members with good parents but suffers from new disruptive members with bad parents.

Long ago, the only commercials for medications were for over-the-counter meds.
I am still against direct-to-consumer ads for prescription meds, because:
1. They are not like any other consumer item, because you have to ask a doctor for them.
2. Ads are expensive, so drug ads make the drug costly.

When I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, I sat through the credits and was amazed by the myriad of people listed.
If a movie like this can have huge box office revenue, the money ought to be able to adequately pay all of those people in the credits.
And yet, the Writers Guild is still on strike.
