Happy Birthday Tim Curry!!!

velvetdarknessmadison

Today, April 19th, marks the 71st birthday of the one, the only, TIM CURRY!

The Rocky Horror fandom knows him best as the deliciously demented Dr. Frank-n-Furter, of course…

image

But Mr. Curry’s body of work goes far beyond that. Over nearly five decades(!) of acting, he has portrayed the Bard of Avon, Will Shakespeare

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the original Broadway run of Amadeus

Miss Hannigan’s dashing but dastardly brother Rooster in Annie

Steven King’s carnivorous clown Pennywise, causing generations of horror fans to develop coulrophobia (Beep Beep, Richie!)…

Ferngully’s Hexxus, whose slimy, seductive song “Toxic Love” gave 90′s kids of all genders very confusing feelings for an animated smog-monster…

The conniving Cardinal Richelieu, the Three Musketeers’ powerful foe…

The patriarch of that beloved creepy, kooky family, Gomez Addams

…and did the Time Warp again in 2016 as the Criminologist in FOX’s totally unnecessary remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

And that’s just a tiny selection of roles from his huge body of work! (I should know: I spent literal hours combing his résumé for this post.) Mr. Curry is a true jack-of-all-trades talent—from stage and screen, to audiobooks and voice work for animated features and video games; he even released several albums as a solo musician!

For almost half a century, Timothy James Curry has inspired the weirdos, the queer kids, the theater geeks, and the freaks of the world. His life shows them—shows us—that being ourselves will pay off in the long run, no matter how much we are told that we have to “learn to fit in” and “be normal, for god’s sake.”

Mr. Curry, you are a motherfucking hero, and for that, we honour you. Here’s hoping you are healthy and happy, today and for many birthdays yet to come.

So everyone join me in a rousing chorus of a song even the virgins will know!

This is a really comprehensive list, but I’m just gonna add this one gem from Comand and Conquer Red Alert 3

dorkmatter

How the fuck is he seventy-one? What happened to the last thirty years? How was he forty-eight when I learned the time warp twenty three years ago?

LMAO CAN YOU FUCKING IMAGINE HAVING THE MONEY TO EAT LIKE THIS THO

meco-official

The average price for chicken breast is around $3.20/lb

One pound of rice is maybe a dollar

Fresh broccoli is typically 2 bucks per pound

You can buy a 5-pound bag of russet potatoes for 3 dollars (about 60 cents/lb)

12 count eggs are around a dollar


You’re looking at maybe $10 without tax for more than one lunch meal, you could probably get at least 3 meals out of the list above (about $3.33 for each meal). That’s far from expensive.

Meat is the most expensive part of these meals and can be exchanged for cheaper meats.

Its cheaper when you buy from grocery stores

You guys just don’t know how to: take advantage of sales and coupons, spend according to a budget, and meal plan.

The meals shown above are nothing special, there are no expenive Super Foods. Theyre all just balanced meals, they all have fruit, vegetables, protein, grains, and some bit of fats

I’ve been doing this for a few weeks now and it’s a lot easier on my budget than even thinking about going out to eat.  And they’re more filling, too.

dorkmatter

Glad you all have the time to make these. Yes it’s cheaper, people know this. What you don’t consider, has that the people who are strapped for cash, are also strapped for time. There’s a reason people buy fast food. Yes you can make meals that are cheaper but it takes time. Time that people who work two jobs, or are single parents, or are disabled… we can’t make these meals. We don’t have time to do the bare minimum.

I work at a grocery store in a lower income neighborhood. Homemade carrot cake? Lol. Baked french toast muffins? And I’m going to grill some corn in February? This is a farce. Yes it costs less money in a vacuum, but this is just insulting.

Thor 4

I’ll take another TW film. Thor as a celebrity with Asgardians moving to Norway as New Asgard? That could be fun as long as he has an offworld threat.

And since Hulk’s solo movie distribution rights are STILL in question, if Hulk survives Endgame and isn’t Professor Hulk (or maybe if he is) bring in Grey Hulk somehow?
