Yes, even in the Netherlands gangs of children are demanding their share of sweets now.
In my sleepy home town a suspicious looking guy rang the doorbell and handed over a bag of sweets.
Gives this to the children when they come at 7:30 PM he whispered and then vanished in the dark.
After a long wait finally a gang of little monsters appeared half an hour too late, didn't want to sing a song, grabbed the sweets from my hands and left me standing baffled in the doorway.

One of the benefits of having a solid front fence with electric gates 
OTOH we were walking the dogs when said band of monsters wandered our street, they refused the dog treats I offered.

Are you sure they were actually sweets, and you haven't just been turned into a drugs mule?

I've bought into their advertising, but I'm lost in a couple of areas.

What I mean is that when they rolled out their product, they were all about droplets costing $5 month (making it very affordable to spin up test machines and websites). I have a product I need to migrate to a modern architecture, and every time I try to do something on DO, I leave $5/month behind at a high rate of speed....

RIP Sean Connery,
I'm shaken, but not stirred.
The James Bond of them all.
Let's not forget his penultimate role as Zed in Zardoz.
I'd rather be phishing!

I saw this, this morning. Sad. 90 years old.

I thought I would be the only one who remembered Zardoz, I'm bloody sure SC would be happy to forget it.

The last movie he played in was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen from 2003.
That movie got bad reviews and a lot of hate, but I really like it.
The bond of my generation was Pierce Brosnan, but I've seen all of his too.
I had to google Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez although it sounded familiar, those were fun movies too (especially for Christopher Lambert movies)
And let's not forget his roles in The Untouchables and In the Name of the Rose, also great movies.
He was also the father of Indiana Jones, good stuff
RIP to a legend

I liked this move too. It was entertaining and that is how I approached watching it.

I liked most of the movies that I have seen him in.
It was his voice that made him so good I think.
When I heard that he had passed away I immediately thought of the Movie Time Bandits.
He played 2 roles in that Movie. Both minor roles but outstanding and powerful.
RIP Sean

Well, not my mama. She could not cook if her life depended on it and she thought that this tastes like cold feet. For about 10 seconds, after which she never ate this again. Anyway, now I'm hungry and there are two obstacles to overcome. First, how do I get this constant stream of Spanish translated and, second, where do I get proper chiles to relleno them? They are probably against the law here because most people here would instantly crumble to dust after one bite.

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

One of the most underrated cuisines in the world, according to chef Sergio Herman.
I watched his TV series and his visit to Mexico, which was hilarious and very interesting.

Mexican food is very underrated. I find Tex-Mex to be tiresome and boring and is usually what I have to settle for. Unfortunately, few people seem to know the difference so it is often difficult to find the real thing. Thankfully, I have found a few in my area and I consider myself quite fortunate.
