@Tyranexx Well it was out in the Midwest, and that house had both the parlor and residence in it. It sounds like it was interesting, for sure. Between the family businesses and certain unsavory characters moving from New York to Vegas, there’s no shortage of interesting tales.

@HobbitGamer - Absolutely, I know I’ve seen the first two multiple times. The Tall Man freaked me out when I was a kid. I think my wife and I binged the first three many years ago too. I like a bunch of Don Coscarelli’s movies. I’m in for any horror set around a funeral home, graveyard, or morgue featuring reanimation. You’re a fan as well? Those are cult classics. I recently streamed a decent movie on Netflix, The Autopsy of Jane Doe. Jane isn’t as she appears. Things don’t go well.
@ThanosReXXX - Well, you’ve correctly deduced I’m crazy enough to do it, but it would need to be an alternate universe me with no young kid responsibilities. Since Amsterdam is a place I definitely plan to visit, why not during the World Cup, and why not watch the finals with the almighty Thanos? When it’s all over, and we’re laying on a cold slab, it’s all about the experiences we had. I want my friends and family to laugh, tell stories, shake their heads, and wonder how I made it to the age I made it to.
@bimmy-lee Adore them. An iconic phrase “You played a good game, booooy”. I’ve got Jane Doe on my list, glad to hear it was good. @Anti-Matter That sign is funny!

@HobbitGamer - Ha, yep, great movies. I haven’t seen the later stuff, just the first three. I grew up in a really small town, but we had a vhs rental store with a tiny arcade. One of my weekly activities was to browse the box covers in the horror section. The Tall Man haunted my dreams before I ever even saw the movie. Jane Doe is pretty decent, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Us horror folk have to endure a lot of mediocre to bad just to find something decent. Then, every once in a while, something like Hereditary comes along and makes it all worthwhile.
Edit - The Serpent and the Rainbow is a good voodoo zombie flick, bet you’ve seen it though. If not, you’ll have to find it on dvd, I’ve never seen it available streaming.

@bimmy-lee Don't we all?
Sounds like a plan, though. And we can always see what we can do about those kids. Maybe send them to the Amsterdam Zoo to spend a nice, quiet day with mom, and then the men can go about their (beer) business...
@ThanosReXXX - My wife and I have talked about flying across the pond when we get them to an age where they can spend a week to 10 days with family while we’re gone. We have a lot of places we want to take them, but I think a European vacation will be adults only, at least the first trip. We’re still years away. She could drink us under the table though if push comes to shove. We’re a five minute walk through a park from our zoo, it’s a really nice one. We get a family pass every year. I think they think every kid goes to the zoo multiple times a week. When I was a kid, I was lucky to go once a summer.
@bimmy-lee That sounds great for the kiddos. We have the Georgia Southern wildlife center on campus and I go a few times a year to enjoy it. Mostly woodland critters and birds of prey, but the interactive shows are fun.

Ahh the zoo, we have the family pass every year too. Like bimmy said, I was lucky to go once a year as a kid, now mine go weekly while im stuck dealing with disgruntled customers.
@bimmy-lee Haha, yeah. Me too. Sometimes twice a year, when our school organized some educational trip, but of course, that wasn't as much fun as going with family and friends, seeing as there were obviously also all kinds of assignments involved...
So, your wife can hold her own, huh? Does she by any chance have either German or Scandinavian genes? Those are some of the most notorious areas that I've visited, where the subtle art of "drinking like a man" has become somewhat of an expected standard.
As for Amsterdam's zoo: I'm willing to wager a bet that you would like it. It may be located in the middle of a crowded city, but you'd be amazed how much space it still occupies. And it's even got it's own Planetarium and zoological museum, so it's not just a zoo.
Most recently, they completely revamped the elephant enclosure:
May not look like much, if you're used to something bigger or more spectacular, but considering the zoo's location, they pretty much achieved something great. The elephants didn't even have a place to bathe before:
