cant believe it stayed open this long, have not been in years but when I lived over there these theaters were usually dirty, trash everywhere, the picture and sound were second rate and the movies were not first run, and stopped there briefly on the way to DVD a few weeks later.

But I guess it was cheap date night thing like you all are talking about and good for that

When did you lived there?  

Just wondering if i'm the asshole that stopped movies briefly.  I worked there when I was in high school and I was in charge of projection booth...  My ex would always come up upstairs and I had to feed film thru within like 20 seconds (cause all movies started about the same time) and she always bagged me...  I fuged up film from time to time...  If I put film just tiny bit sideways, it would get jammed and burned... I'd have to open machine,  cut 10-15 feet of burned film, reattach film together, feed back thru machine and restart it.  Good times.

no i meant the movies stopped to play there just before they went to DVD, I can't recall a reel not starting up on time there.

oh I started reels on time... It would jam 10 minutes into the movie sometimes... Customers were like "I want a refund on my 50 cents" lol

i remember we received a porn movie once and they told us it was R rated... We played a movie for the whole week before we realized it was a porn movie lol.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      I know every jersey thread goes in this direction, but I feel the need to say it.  The Chinese knockoffs are not your friend. Not only does the money not go to the panthers, but you don't control where it does go. The athletic did an excellent podcast on the business of counterfeit shirts not too long ago. I could care less about the legality of it, but the morality of it is no bueno. Now I need to wash off the "defends billionaire class" off myself, but like don't give your money to those people. If you can't afford a jersey, just go to ebay, or a thrift store, or wear a t shirt.

      The Shedur pranker has been identified. Son of Falcons coach copied the number

      A friend of mine, Chip, was taking an exam in a business course that he had failed twice before.  He would have to drop out of his major if he failed it for a third time--he claimed the professor, Dr. Brown, despised him, and several others who had Dr. Brown's class with Chip confirmed that Dr. Brown's hatred for Chip was obvious.  Before the exam, Chip was up all night cramming, confiding to his roommate Jeff how nervous he was.  Jeff was understanding and listened carefully.  During the exam (an evening course) Jeff was at work delivering flowers for a local florist.  As Chip describes it, a woman (another student who worked with Jeff) entered the classroom with flowers and a card with the words "Dr. Brown" written on the card.  The professor immediately sent the girl out; Jeff was watching from the hallway.  She left the flowers on his desk and scampered out.  Chip laughed because he thought the professor, a man he hated, was being pranked.  A few minutes later, the professor opened the envelope, and read the card.  Chip was still laughing.  He walked toward the students, still taking a timed test, and stopped at Chip's desk, staring at him.  Chip stopped laughing.  He dropped the card on Chip's desk while snarling at him silently.  Chip read the card, "Dr. Brown.  I can't tell you how much I have grown under the three semesters of your tutelage and guidance.  You are my role model.  I will miss you." --Chip Fxxxxx.  Chip made a C.
