In a kitchen. A young (hippy-looking) Helen Morgendorffer is telling another woman, "So-called enlightened dudes are oppressing women." The other woman is stirring a pot of soup. As she speaks, Helen is chopping up a carrot. From the animated TV show "Daria"

Generally speaking, I think that if one likes a particular food or drink, one should have some. I personally don't go for pumpkin spice flavored things, but I think those who like them should dig in and enjoy.

However.....

I may have found my limit.
A package of Hatfield brand pumpkin spice flavored thick cut bacon. The bacon is visible through clear plastic on the lower part of the packaging. The label on the upper part includes art of some cinnamon sticks along with the text.

Tonight's cocktail: The Brandy Lift

A nice drink, but it didn't foam up as advertised. (I suspect the soda was a bit too flat; I'll have to try again with a fresh bottle. A narrower glass would probably have helped too.) 🍸
A white milky-looking drink with just a small amount of foam on top in a double old-fashioned glass. It's sitting on a coaster from the PulverTurm an der Frauenkirche restaurant in Dresden.

The 2012 version of me seems so young and innocent.
A screen shot of a June 2012 entry from my Twitter archive. The text of the tweet reads, "It's a beautiful evening to die in flames in an empty school parking with a novice driver."

Pour one out for the lil tranked-out dude who's resting up after his rabies shot & blood tests.

Age yourself with a film you saw in a cinema as a kid
From "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979) The V'Ger probe version of Lt. Ilia (played by Persis Khambatta) is lying on an exam table in Sickbay while a multicolored computer scan of her body is displayed on the wall. Looking on, with their backs to the camera, are Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Kirk (William Shatner), Chapel (Majel Barrett), and McCoy (DeForest Kelley)

An old ad for Lipton onion soup that caused some controversy back in the day. Several people are waiting in line to receive communion from a priest. One of the people in line is holding a bowl of sour cream & onion dip.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

[my first choice was Dr. Nikolas van Helsing from "The Cannonball Run" but somebody beat me to him]
From the music video for the 1985 song "Like A Surgeon." "Weird" Al Yankovic is dressed for surgery in green scrubs and rubber gloves. A nurse in scrubs and a surgical mask is holding a hardback copy of "Gray's Anatomy" open for Dr. Yankovic to view. (He looks very confused.)

A movie poster for 1973's "The Long Goodbye." It's a drawing of Elliott Gould smiling and lighting a cigarette. The drawing of Gould looks pretty realistic, but there's a deranged-looking cat standing on his shoulders that looks much more like a cartoon monster.

I'm not sure why any director would want their work viewed like that when they could have
A General Electric Show'N Tell. There's what looks like a TV screen (which is not turned on in the picture) in front. On top is a small record player. You can see the top of the film strip for "101 Dalmatians" sticking up to the right of the turntable.

A Facebook menu to complain about a picture. "I'm in this photo and I don't like it" is highlighted. Other non-selected choices are: "It's annoying or not interesting;" "I I think it shouldn't be on Facebook;" and "It's spam."
