Once I almost dropped Bruce Springsteen. I still like shark movies but fear they've stopped liking me. Baseball is life. Movies are also life. Go Phils. Go Birds. Go Steelers. Don't comply in advance.

I think it’s awesome that Alejandro Kirk is honoring the Freaks and Geeks Halloween episode with his catching gear
Still from Freaks and Geeks Halloween episode, with young teens in costumes, including a cardboard box silver metallic painted robot costume (and also Groucho Marx and the Bionic Woman, and one not in costume)

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness
Foreground: Chief Martin Brody; background: It’s a carcharadon carcharias, it’s a great white (still from Jaws (1975) of Brody obliviously chumming while enormous shark surfaces behind him)

Philly Lolla 1994. Not listed on the poster: a surprise mini-set by Courtney Love, in her first public performance after Kurt died.
Poster for August 1, 1994 Lollapalooza concert festival held in Philadelphia’s FDR Park, listing main stage performers The Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars, The Breeders, A Tribe Called Quest, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, L7, and Boredoms, plus 2nd stage acts The Flaming Lips, The Verve, Luscious Jackson, Palace Songs, and Girls Against Boys. This show totally ripped.

See also Laurie Metcalf! One appearance in an Update piece during a very brief half-season tenure in the Ebersol/post-Doumanian era.
Screenshot from Wikipedia article on SNL cast noting that Laurie Metcalf was hired as a cast member late in season six (1981) and appeared in one episode in a Weekend Update piece, but was not chosen to return to the cast for the following season.

Drop Chevy and add Catherine O’Hara (per Wikipedia, was named to cast in 1981 and then quit, zero appearances).
Screenshot of portion of Wikipedia entry for Saturday Night Live cast members, under the heading “Shortest tenures,” notes that Catherine O’Hara was hired to join the SNL cast in 1981 but quit before appearing on air.

without downloading any new pics/vids, where are you mentally?
Screenshot from the denouement of the film I DRINK YOUR BLOOD (1971), which is your basic hippie satanists are fed rabies-infected meat pies and the whole town is reduced to carnage flick. The town coroner at left is looking at the town sheriff at right. His line: “Well, what can you say?”

Screenshot if the link doesn’t work
Ryan Boyer, head of the Philadelphia Building and Construction Trades Council, said the deal involves the 76ers and Comcast Spectacor, which owns the Flyers and Wells Fargo Center, working together to build a new arena in South Philadelphia. Boyer said the deal also involves a commitment for a major development project on East Market Street, but he did not yet have details on what that would look like. “The commissioner of the NBA was involved in it, and the commitment to Market Street redevelopment is still there,” Boyer said. “We think that overall it will be good for the city. It’s just a pivot.”

And this was my Marvel Cinematic Universe
Picture of the box for Marvel World, a playset from the 1970s that featured die cut cardboard Marvel characters and various settings from Marvel Comics of the era.

While I’m remembering awesome toys from my youth that weren’t video games, how about this absolute banger?
1980s board game Dark Tower, which was an awesome medieval/fantasy themed game. Circular game board with a central electronic black plastic tower, which gave you the results of your moves on its front window (pictures on spinning wheels inside the tower would light up).

No video game but instead enjoy this jpeg of the original (better) Cybertruck
Big Trak, a programmable sort of tank/truck toy from the late 1970s. A better version of the Cybertruck (and similar in that it often didn’t do what you wanted it to do).

Evergreen baseball season sign, but especially this series.
Sandwich board sign outside pub noting the evening’s Phillies game, which reads “Phils vs more assholes” (the Phillies happen to be playing the Atlanta Braves but I’m sure that’s just a coincidence)

A promotional still from the 1970s Sid & Marty Krofft show “Far Out Space Nuts” showing actors Chuck McCann and Bob Denver in maintenance suits flanking large spaceship control panel buttons, laid out with what can only be described as an unfortunate lack of consideration to proximity, and labeled “Lunch” “Launch” and “Panic”. Mr Denver is absent-mindedly touching the Launch button while holding a cafeteria tray of lunch items and bearing a carefree expression, while Mr. McCann is touching the Panic button with an expression of abject, well, panic.

Greatest phone call scene?
Mike (Jon Favreau) in SWINGERS (1996) after leaving *another* painfully awkward answering machine message for Nikki and she picks up and tells him never to call her again.
