Burned off some fallen tree branches a bit ago but forgot the hot dogs. Next time, maybe, plenty more fuel where those came from.

When you buy your first house, you get a fire pit so you can have friends over and sit around the fire and socialize; maybe make s'mores or something. You figure you can burn some of the brush from trees and buy firewood for the rest. Once you own a house you realize all you ever use the fire pit for is burning brush.

Lol or like me you move to the middle of the fucking desert and cant use it because there are red flag warning most of the year from lack of rain....
 
My friend/roommate from college, who has hired me as a contractor, is in New York right now, looking at colleges with his teenage daughter. Posted a pic to Facebook from the airplane and it took every ounce of my self-control to not say something along the lines of "Lucky! I never wind up getting a seat next to a hot blonde chick on flights."
 
It's way too early for solid numbers but with a quick, from-the-hip SWAG, it's very possible that "Snow White" may not even break $200 million worldwide box office on an announced budget of $250 million (it's probably much higher).

I do have a lot better feel for "Captain America." I'm putting the final numbers on that between $410 and $438 million. Allegedly the budget was $180 million. That's bullshit but if we take it and go with the standard 2.5x rule of thumb, it needs $450 million to break even BUT! For some reason they're claiming it only needs $425 million to break even. So there's a decent chance that it will hit the low bar they set for it but it's around a coin toss that it won't even make that. And again, those numbers are PR spin. Forbes did a story in 2024 that "The Little Mermaid" wound up losing $5 million because the budget was way higher than Disney claimed.
