"Down The Clown" scene from Jackass 4.5 has a tennis player serving AT the Jackass cast

I think they could have done better with a real pro (even from someone way outside the top 100). But still, this was hysterical.

40 years ago today, a Dallas oil executive and rancher took a shower. FIO if you know why this was such a big deal

For context, this was the infamous "Shower Scene" that re-introduced the character of Bobby Ewing on the TV show "Dallas". This was noteworthy because it brought the character back to life after the actor (the great Patrick Duffy) decided to return to the series.

Is there a way to change the background color of both the folder pane and the message pane? This is for my senior citizen father who is running 150.02 but on Windows 10 (his preference).

My elderly father has bad eyesight, so we have changed all the Windows settings to enlarge the fonts and change the colors so his eyes don't get so tired. But I think as a result, the color scheme in Thunderbird is kind of messed up, so hoping to override all of that so he can have the colors he prefers.

[Landlord-US-NJ] First time landlord here. Currently renting a home to a young family. Original lease was for 1.5 years and I anticipate them wanting to sign another at that term or possibly 2 years. Should I raise the rent if I am "locking" myself in for that length of time?

They are good tenants in that they don't ask for too much. I have no problem renewing their lease and honestly have no problem with keeping them for 2 years.

Being totally honest here, my only reason for raising their rent is additional income.

Baseball montage from "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" (1969) - Dir. by Bill Melendez. What is this kind of "montage" called? Is it split-screen? Whatever it is, I think it was executed perfectly without the need for dialog or overwhelming action. Sometimes, less is more

The ending of "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" perfectly captured the spirit of Peanuts. Despite a major setback, Linus wisely points out "the world didn't come to an end".

I bet a lot of people have been in the exact spot as Charlie Brown -- thinking that he let everyone down. And I believe Lucy knew that Charlie Brown was suffering. Despite her shenanigans, I think her pulling away the football was her way of telling him that life goes on.

And I love the way they did the credits.

Did Brooks Koepka actually receive $100 million for joining LIV? Or was that a financial "assurance" that has now dried up because of the lack of Saudi funding?

Like did he actually receive a check for $100 million?

I understand that all these players who joined LIV now have to deal with the fallout with that league in question. But did these players actually receive the payouts that they were promised?

Does anyone have a recommendation on an Asian Art dealer? Specifically Chinese paintings. I have some stuff that I want to get evaluated.

I inherited some Chinese paintings and I would like to have them reviewed to determine if they have any value.

The correct response was Who was >!Tom Stoppard?!<

Ken mentioned this was in reference to >!"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Meet King Lear", which was the original title!<

I did not get it within the 30 seconds allotted but I *may* have taken a wild guess and come up with this. This is also probably the reason I am on my couch watching and not on the show itself hahaha

▲ 255 r/Broadway

Basically, this was an Emmy award for promoting a Broadway show or cast album on daytime TV, which hardly seems worthy of TV's highest honor.

In the four years that the category was in place, FIVE performers came within one award of EGOT status -- Cynthia Erivo, Ben Platt, Rachel Bay Jones, Katrina Lenk, and Ariel Stachel.

100% agree with this change. EGOT status should be an extremely rare achievement and only accomplished by those who showed a wide body of work and not getting 3 out of the 4 for a single character. None of the performers who used that shortcut come anywhere near that standard.
