Peeping Tom
Years ahead of its time and still one of the most disturbing and psychologically complex horror films ever made. Michael Powell's "Peeping Tom", a 1960 movie about a man who filmed his victims as they died, broke the rules and crossed the line. It was so loathed on its first release that it was pulled from theaters, and effectively ended the career of one of Britain's greatest directors.
TiVo recorded this for me at random off of Turner Classic Movies. As I watched it, I was surprised how contemporary the script was for the time it was made.

Someone I Miss...
My Aunt Margaret lived with us during the winter long before she married my Uncle Henry. I had a huge kid crush on her. Today, she is the grandma to the
Medrano Twins. This morning I had an epiphany and realized my mom had a brown couch with orange pillows. Not at all unlike the similar I have today. Maybe that was all subconscious that I have that now?

QR code at the link. A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The "QR" is derived from "Quick Response", as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. QR Codes are common in Japan, where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional codes.

Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown.

Men's Personal Care
If I have to view female personal hygiene commercials, I would not be opposed to
an advert about a product for cleaning "manjunk".
