This is the thread you've all been waiting for! (Even though you could've discussed this topic at at any time.  🙄).  Myyysteries and the soooopernatural.....   Oogie boogie! There are so many categories of these types of things.  From mythological creatures such as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, Yeti, Chupacabra, etc, to aliens and UFOs, to unexplained physical and mental phenomena such as deja vu, a 6th sense, or near death experiences. One major category of the supernatural is hauntings, ghosts, and the paranormal.  These are not only the source of local folklore wherever you go in the world, but a major subject of interest in the film and television industry. So let's go down the rabbit hole, shall we?  Out of body experiences, reincarnation, mysterious disappearances, local hauntings or unexplained phenomena, whatever your choice may be, let's see who can tell the creepiest story that makes your skin crawl or even makes you question the world around you.

 Beans are considered a “superfood” because they are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat.   The site I got that quote from actually has a tremendously informative article about beans, so I won't try to outdo them.  Here's the link:   https://www.umassmed.edu/nutrition/Cardiovascular/handouts/beans/ One good thing about most beans - like kidney, black, lentils, or pinto, for example - is that you can cook them until they're soft enough and incorporate them into other dishes, like casseroles for instance. (Or just add them, in the case of green beans.) They're also used in drinks, coffee being the main one, and even everybody's favorite dessert flavors, chocolate and vanilla.  But why would somebody consider beans racist? Yes, I get that the name of the food, combined with "er", is a racially derogatory slur.  But other than that?  No. I even verified with a Google search, in case I missed the memo.  If you call somebody a bean "head", for

 So I'm chit chatting during Collision, and this week's topic popped into my head after making a comment.  Finishing moves (or wrestling move in general).  More specifically the names.  Some finishing moves have great, catchy names that relate to the wrestler and the gimmick.  The one that first popped into my head was the Honky Tonk Man's Shake, Rattle, and Roll.  Catchy. Relevant. Fits. Another one is the Sharpshooter used by one Bret "The Hitman" Hart.  Sharpshooter because he's a hitman, natch. Skull Crushing Finale.  Rock Bottom. Stone Cold Stunner. Rude Awakening.  Avalanche (even though I don't know what an avalanche has to do with King Kong, it's a great name for the move). The Jackhammer. The Money Shot. Spinaroonie. Claymore. Perfect Plex.  I'll even concede the Pedigree. So the intro topic is simple. What finishers - or even regular moves in general - have your favorite names?  Or are your favorite moves in general? Which are the worst i

 The heart of rock and roll is still beatin'!  At least in this person's mind. I love listening to old school music.  Namely the 80s.  I listen to it pretty much on a daily basis.  I like me some 90s, too, and some 60s and 70s, and early 2000s.   After that I pretty much tuned out with the exception of a fad hit here and there (What Does the Fox Say, Gangnam Style), or a recently discovered band that surprised me that I wound up enjoying (Blue October, Alestorm). But my go to is the 80s.  Pop, hip hop, hair bands, even a bit of country from that era (such as Eddie Rabbitt).  I can cue up some 80s and it just elevates my mood. So, the theme of the week is music.  Drop the YouTube of a song in the room and tell the story (if there is one) of why it means something and/or how you came across it.   From the mainstream to obscure gems, discuss and share some of your favorite tunes!

 I've always loved movies and tv.  Escaping into another world, good prevailing over evil, emotion inducing action, drama, comedy, living vicariously through the characters and fantasizing about being in their shoes.  Sure, today's movies have amazing special effects and wouldn't have looked as good back in the day (LotR and super hero movies, in particular), but a lot of older movies possessed a level of heart and charm you just can't easily duplicate today. The list of classics from just the 80s are endless, some of which the series bled over into the 90s and beyond. The Breakfast Club, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard (a great Christmas movie!), Police Academy, Revenge of the Nerds, Back to the Future, Beverly Hills Cop, E.T., Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Spaceballs, Ghostbusters, Disorderlies, Crocodile Dundee, St. Elmo's Fire, Stand By Me, Gremlins, Top Gun, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, and so on. I could compile a list as long as Jericho's list of 1004 holds, bu
