zits movie

Why would a movie theatre possibly do this? Especially since it’s popcorn and soda sales that keep the treatre open.

And if this is some “unlimited free refills” deal, which doesn’t seem to be the case here, the theatre can’t unilaterally change the terms.

  • “Okay, Boomer” is an obnoxiously dismissive shorthand for “I have nothing of substance to say, and please kick me in the teeth.”

iron

My kids are about 10 years older than Jeremy (though at one time they were about 10 years younger), and as far as I know they have never worn an ironed shirt.

Dress shirts cleaned and pressed at the dry cleaner’s, yes, but we don’t even own an ironing board.

Is ironing casual shirts even a thing in 2019?
