Diabolical, isn’t it?
Please tell me there’s a language out there that actually calls them “bird leaves.” Like how there’s a language where the word for green is “leaf blue.”


Violence. You want a revolution, you’re gonna have to kill some people.


I do love how they did Bohemian Rhapsody, and got around having muppets sing “mama, just killed a man. Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he’s dead” by having Animal repeatedly yell “MAMA!”


Mom And Dad Save The World (1992)
Stars Terri Garr and Jeffrey Jones as the Nelsons, an ordinary set of suburban boomer parents who routinely go on vacations/car trips. On such a trip, they are abducted station wagon and all by Emporer Todd (played by Jon Lovitz) of planet Spengo, a desert planet inhabited by a species of dog headed if male, fish headed if female creatures, and humanoid idiots. Ridiculousness ensues.
It bombed at the box office and is poorly reviewed but I had fun with it.


“Men honestly don’t need much in the way of material goods to be happy.”
“And I took that personally.”


Flat pack furniture is manufactured trash.


I’m not putting up with that, I’m going to convert them all to pung files asap.
Give Rayforge a try.


There are a lot of circuits in the US that power multiple duplex outlets around a room. You could plug in a solar panel into one outlet and a load into another and they would be connected by a length of Romex in the walls.


In the United States that would be UL Certification.


Eyewitness testimony.
Man invented shoes first, because he was walking through the hot sand and the sharp rocks and the pointy briars, so he invented shoes to protect his feet from the ground. Then he invented pants, because he felt silly standing around naked in his shoes.
I think that was a Gallagher bit?


Cats would be neat to get to that point.
So given Dr. Glaucomflecken is an opthalmologist, I’m at least 37.3% sure he meant her eyeglass prescription in diopters. Isn’t that right, Johnathan?


Master And Commander: The Far Side of the Earth.
It’s a war movie with an all male cast, and the manliest moment in it is when the Doctor who is doing surgery on himself to remove a bullet from his chest, looks at the captain who is assisting and asks “Are you alright?” And the marine that accidentally shot him is anxiously waiting outside the tent to make sure he’s okay. GAH I’m going to the store and buying some beer and some popcorn and I’m watching a movie tonight.


It can be. If you look on a lot of the websites for video games they grant licenses to stream the game’s audio assets in the context of streaming gameplay.


Oh shit, I didn’t think of that. You think there are any F-14s left?


Second draft of this comment, because I realize this has happened a lot during my lifetime.
Star Wars, like Star Trek, The Legend of Zelda - a lot of the media I grew up with - started out as stories, and then transitioned to settings, and have now become paint colors.
There used to be an answer for “Who is the main character of Star Wars?” When I was a kid, that answer was Luke Skywalker. When I was a teenager, the answer changed to Darth Vader, and now it’s a meaningless question, like who’s the main character of brutalism or who’s the protagonist of JNCO jeans?
The spindle housing of a drill press is called a quill, oddly enough.
