While impressive, I don't see how that would help him.
Man, that's Optimus Prime. How could it not help him?

While Optimus Prime is many things, I'm not sure he can transform into a toothbrush.
Jeans and a sweatshirt. Shorts and tshirt when it's warm out.

What business is it of yours?
I agree with your dentist. Look:Unfortunately, here in Bohol, we have 220 volts not 110. So my electric toothbrush and electric razor won't work & no Filipino versions are for sale.
Stupid electric toothbrush didn't work. I pressed the On button and there were a whole bunch of lights on the thing that came on but no matter what I did the motor didn't turn and the brush-head didn't spin. It is under warranty so I can mail it in and get it fixed but I have to drive out to a UPS store to get it packaged and shipped. Pretty annoying.

My ex used to drink Old Style, it's really cheap and he'd buy cases of it. I tried a sip once and it's really gross.
I bought tickets to see the LEGO Movie 2 tomorrow morning.

Oh dear, six beers is like a full day's calorie limit for me .. no wonder he gained so much weight.
i was lucky when I was young. 4 meals a day and I'd lose weight. 6'2" and struggled to reach 130. 6 beers wouldn't make a dent.
Of course now that I'm old, it's a totally different story. Closer to 170.
But back on topic. One of our motion detector lamps stopped working. It was 30 years old so I guess we got our money's worth. After searching on the net for about an hour, I was able to find a duplicate so I don't have to buy two. YEA

The whole point is that it is a terrible beer. That is where the irony comes in. "This is a crappy beer, but wouldn't it be funny if I acted like it were good." A lot of the hipster chic was about re-appropriating obviously dumb, crass, banal, and objectively bad things and presenting them in an esteemed light (as if they were good) for a joke. It's basically Marcel Duchamp's Fountain, only reimagined as a whole counter-cultural movement. That these tastes taken in jest were later esteemed by normies biting the style but missing the subtext only served to further add to the joke.
Of course just because I understand the joke/artistic purpose doesn't mean I "get" it. Even if you were eating **** in service of some grander artistic vision doesn't change the fact that, at the end of the day, you're still eating ****.

Andy's Soups woulda been a more apt comparison, because I don't think this is what Duchamp was going for. Andy had this peculiar mix of genuine fascination for American popular culture, a critical eye for what was going wrong, and the nice ironic twist and shock factor. I think he purposefully adapted some of the most vulgar and popular symbols.
I think Fountain was primarily about showing that art is inherently contextual, and that even industrially produced goods of everyday life could be considered art if only we made it identifiable as such. Hence also the idea with the "ready made".

I've discussed it with many of them and they had not read that e-mail. They were clueless, not ironic. But guess what? It was still funny.
I bought two plane tickets to Atlanta for late August for my grandmother's 85th birthday. My tickets were $800 each, which isn't as bad as my tickets to Alberta in July which cost me $3000 each, but eek that's still a bit. I also booked my car rental but I don't have my hotel yet. My grandmother wants me to stay at her house, but honestly it's going to be late August in Georgia and I know she doesn't keep her AC down, and I'm used to Michigan weather so I'm sure I'd suffer terribly.
I also bought my father a plane ticket, his is from Buffalo. His only cost me $300, but he doesn't mind if he flies coach.

Oh my .. was that a round trip ticket or just one way for you? I bought every upgrade I could for my tickets, like first class, priority boarding, trip insurance, and so on.
Oh and I do think time of year might matter, it depends on how much demand there is, right?

Well if you're flying first class that explains the price difference right there.

I will never get this
economy class, sleep deprivation and lots of cheap carton wine. few hours later and you're there. I already feel bad for using an airplane anyway, I wouldn't want to feel bad about my wallet, too
I mean maybe if the flight was like 18 hours long I would consider upgrading to business, but for an intracontinental flight? never
I have very bad restless leg syndrome and have gone on many 12+ hour flights, but that thought didn't even cross my mind.

I just can't afford to spend money upgrading my tickets. $800 for a flight is prohibitive let alone $3000.
I like to upgrade to the exit row since I"m tall. Sometimes that's a 50 or 60 dollar up-charge. If I'm schlepping my sticks, that's another 25. In these cases, I'll check the 1st class fee. Sometimes its only a 90-110 dollar difference. If it's that close, I'll pop for the extra luxuries. (granted it's rarely that close but it has happened a handful of times. And it really pisses off my wife if she's on the same plane back in coach.
