TV/Movies Megathread

Saw on Twitter that a recent Simpsons episode had a reference that probably a small percentage of viewers get, but people around here might appreciate it:

Mr Burns: Hmm. Smithers, I'm a hero. Like that guy who landed the plane safely.
Smithers: Sully Sullenberger?
Mr Burns: No, no, no, no. Rudolf Hess.

"Schindler and I are like peas in a pod! We're both factory owners, we both made shells for the Nazis, but mine worked, damn it!"

The inofficial theme for the last few TV shows I watched has been Marc Even Jackson who showed up in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place, GLOW, and Parks & Recreation.

I'm disappointed that there are no audio books he narrates on Audible.

A lot last summer. My daughter turned out to love it as well, so we spent a lot of time sailing. Weather permitting, I went sailing pretty much every weekend and at least once or twice during the week.

I am actually taking tomorrow off to do some work on Wahoo while it is on the hard. Going to paint the bottom, wash it down, and buff/polish it.

Tell me more... what kind of boat is it? And have you posted any pictures?

It is a 1984 Starwind 27'.

Not me in the picture.

I haven't posted many pictures here, just because this forum pretty much sucks for posting pics.

What kind of sailing do you do with her?  I'm going to assume you're out on Lake Ontario.  Ever do any multi-day trips, or is it just too tight for that?  Oh - does it have a motor?  I don't see one on the schematics, but based on the picture it appears to be under way with no sails up, so...


I've looked - there is a sailing club west of Edmonton, at a place called Wabamun Lake.  It's 11 mi wide and 4 miles narrow.  I mean I'm sure you could learn to sale there but not sure it'd be worthwhile unless you somehow thought you could do more exciting sailing somewhere else eventually.

That's awesome 

One day....

[Maladict]

That's really cool

Lets see if I can link a FB pic here...this is my boat, and that is me.

I am based out of the Newport Yacht Club, which is on Irondequoit Bay, which is on Lake Ontario.

I did one overnight trip last summer. I would definitely like to do more of those.

It has a little 9HP Yanmar diesel engine.

could you, theoritically, sail down the St-Lawrence river with it, or are the channels reserved for bigger ships?

Sure you could. You would definitely want to stay out of the shipping lane, of course. But you could.

Come visit next summer, I'll find you a nice marina along the south shore of the St-Lawrence
