looking at old races is so weird bc it’s like yeah two people died but mario andretti won! go mario! and i’m like???? tf???? i had to write an essay about roger penske and i never realized how many people died until i researched these old races. look at the 1973 500 results, for example. 3 people died—2 drivers and 1 PIT CREW MEMBER????—and another driver was seriously injured. and then gordon johncock just went and won like it was nothing. can you imagine that happening now?

idk it makes me glad that i’m a racing fan NOW instead of then. sure, some of the greats raced then, but where they great because they were great or because they were the lucky ones who managed to stay in the race? in 1972–the year team penske got their first 500 victory (mark donohue)—there were 18 cars out of the race by the 400 mile mark. by the end, the only person on the lead lap was the leader. that’s nuts.

anyway y’all should look at some of these old races because they’re WILD. in that same race, jerry grant accidentally went into teammate al unser sr.’s pit and both of their pit crews serviced the car. how does that even happen 💀

EDIT: the first 500 my dad saw was was 74, so he did not see that shitshow of a race in person. however, he did see gordon smiley’s fatal wreck in 82 (look that up if you can handle it—it’s awful). they announced that he was dead on the track and finished the race.

#indycar #roger penske #team penske #jerry grant #al unser sr.#mario andretti #mark donohue #gordon johncock #indy 500 #also gordon johncock is a hell of a name #those 500s were crazy though #i wonder if my dad was there #idk

Bloodstone (1988)

"You talk like a detective."

"You forget, Mr. Lorre, I'm in textiles. But the way it reads in the paper, someone very untalented got really lucky with the bloodstone. It certainly wasn't the work of a professional."

"The Titanic, Mr. McVey, was built by professionals. Noah was an amateur."

Clouseau‚ complete with brownface accent and head wobble. in 1988. a genuinely shocking #decision and audaciously offensive considering this is a film actually made in India and with a largely Indian cast; absolutely mind #boggling stupidity and Brill's deeply insensitive performance kills the film stone dead whenever he's onscreen. to be approached with #caution‚ if at all.

"Jerry is Lincoln's and Scary's biological son, which means teen pregnancy" or "Jerry is adopted"

NO.

It's Scam Likely again

What's the one good thing that Grant and Marco got out of Scams shitty wedding gift? Their son Lincoln. So Scam has learned that the best gift at a wedding is giving someone a child of course

#a few days ago I saw a post in which someone said that Scam is responsible for multiple children in s2 #he made up the prophesy so Hero was born #he sent Grant and Marco to the titanic so they adopted Lincoln #he quite literally brought Hermie into existence #scam likely will always be sCamming children into existence #can you see my vision?#Jerry and any potential family interactions have been spinning in my brain as short fic ideas #i hope to be able to write them and post them soon #i also hope we'll hear more about Jerry in the upcoming teen talk but I doubt it #dndads #dndads s2 #jerry dndads #scam likely

Thinking about how Grant (and the other kids yeah but specifically Grant) had only known Henry (yeah the other dads too but I'm thinking about Henry) for less than a day before getting dropped into the forgotten realms and then at least a month later when he sees him again he has to see totally different sides of him and his dad. How jarring must that be? You meet a guy and his insane sons and your first impression of him is that he's some tree hugger granola dad who's a total pushover and then the next time you see him it's in a death game where he volunteers to kill a man by shotgun blast to the face and then leaves the dead body of the guy outside to send a message to the other players. Imagine meeting this guy whose whole gig is being vegan and a free range granola parent and the next time you see him he's breaking into another explosive burst of anger and yelling at the arena that he will fight and/or kill anyone who comes to hurt you or his friends. Imagine knowing your dad all your life and seeing him one day and then having to know that your dad has killed someone. And then you kill a chimera and you're changed forever. And then you grow up and marry a man named Marco.

#the whole Wilson family is immune to just living in peace #they're all going through life changing trauma #and then moving on and becoming a librarian or something #daryll went through extreme poverty as a child and then just became a stay at home dad #his parents held it together well but that doesnt mean he didnt go through it #grant went through a lot of life changing trauma as a child and became a librarian #he was a sniper too but he was a librarian #lincoln went through a whole like 50 years of life got married had kids and then just had to go on with his life #then he became a soccer coach #the jury's still out on Jerry #dndads #dungeons and daddies #daryll wilson #grant wilson #lincoln li wilson #henry oak

Thoughts on "Unfrosted"

I just finished watching the Unfrosted movie on Netflix. And unlike some of the usual wannabe "influencer" YT vloggers, I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to watch it again.

To me, this is a silly, light-hearted what-if story about pop culture nonsense. It's not intended to be gut-bustingly funny like Tropic Thunder or The Hangover or a battle of the wittiest bon mots like Frasier. It's just good-natured fun and goofiness that's meant to make you smile and say, "I get that reference!" every 2 minutes.

I loved spotting all the comedians and actors whose work I enjoy. But my favorite characters in the film have to be Peter Dinklage as the head of the "Milk Mafia," and Christian Slater as his main enforcer. I would seriously watch an entire film with their characters as the main focus.

I also got a special kick out of seeing John Slattery and Jon Hamm don their 5th Avenue personas one more time.

And can I just say, the little kids in this movie who help them develop the product: They are going to be the ones to watch in the future. Especially the little girl! She kept shocking me with her delivery and acting choices, and I couldn't help but think, "How old is this child?!" I hope she goes far, because she was really good.

To quote Jerry in a recent interview, "It's a pop tart movie. None of this matters!" As long as you keep that in mind, I think you'll enjoy it. And if you don't enjoy it, then it doesn't really matter that much any way.
