I tagged you too! :)

The same thing that happens to everyone else! (everything else? Eh, I'm close.)

Manure, the unwashed masses, and blood.

I wouldn't have said this is Far Side. This doesn't look like his drawing style. But I could be wrong.

Also, Far Side has some great jokes. I'm a fan.

The bouncer / security guard is asking for ID (identification), but the hillbilly thinks he is asking if he has any "idee" (idea pronounced with a very strong accent). So the hillbilly is asking "idea about what?"

We're not at the height of comedy here.

On the one hand, you're right. They (director and team) should make the movie they want to make, even if it has a complete downer ending.

On the other hand, if it has a downer ending, I'm not watching it. So there's a trade-off.

Because if I want to feel like the innocent suffer, the guilty are never punished, and life is unfair, I don't watch a movie. I read the news.

I was going to correct you and say that two words starting with A aren't alliteration but assonance. But when I looked it up to make sure I was right, I wasn't. There might not be a word for the same vowel letter in successive words. shrug

• alliteration – repeated initial consonant sounds in multiple words
• assonance – repeated vowel sounds within multiple words
• consonance – repeated consonant sounds within multiple words

p.s. I support any name that conveys the obvious nazi connection.

I'm honored!

I bought a reusable tote for like $3 in the section at the front of Target where they stick all the cheap stuff. It looks like it's made of woven burlap. It says "Going to Market" on the sides. It's shorter than the standard reusable tote, but a reasonable width.

I bought it on a whim and thought it would sit in my trunk after I forgot about it. I use it all the time, and I've gotten a ton of compliments on it at checkouts of various stores.

Great. I'm a millennial. I'll never be able to afford a home. And I'm certainly not at all bitter about it, as I'm sure you can tell.

I would say mowing lawns, but I don't know if that's in as much demand either since no one can afford a home (at all, let alone with a front yard).

Fun fact: it's very rare for possums to have rabies! Their body temp is too low for the rabies to live.

I still enjoyed your musical parody. :)

Better Off Ted

The workplace comedy about Veridian Dynamics, the company that can make anything, whether it's a good idea or not.

It was on a major network, but the timeslot kept abruptly changing and the final two episodes were preempted by a live sports event, and never even aired in the US.

Veronica: Ted, we need a mouse that can withstand temperatures of up to 300(?) degrees.

Ted: Live mouse or computer mouse?

Veronica: ....I'll get back to you.

An attempt at creating an artificial meat:

Jerome: It tastes familiar...

Ted: Beef?

Jerome: No...

Linda: Chicken? We’ll take chicken.

Jerome: [Shakes head.]

Ted: What does it taste like?

Jerome: Despair.

Ted: Is it possible it just needs salt?

The movie Castaway. This gif is sped up, which is making it more comedic looking then it was intended.

This is not how you spell tequila or ethanol.

My job here is done. Spellmaster away! flies off

The number of people who are "knitting" in a movie or on TV...maybe 40% of them are actually doing it, and that's a high estimate (shout out to Miss Marple!). The rest appear to be wrapping yarn around one of the needles and then moving it vigorously, lol.

That's not how you spell lettuce.

This is what I've said since I learned of this experiment. I'm only waiting for the second marshmallow if BOTH of the following statements are true:

1. I want two marshmallows.
2. I trust the adult to keep his word.

Maybe if he came straight at it, his people would object. If he was going to do that, it probably would've been after the assassination attempt. So it feels highly unlikely. But he's got some options.

Option 1: "Folks, we need you to donate your guns to the police. They're so underfunded/under attack, they need as much help as they can get." And I bet a lot of people would do it. Now, would it be ALL the guns they own? Probably not. But they'd be giving them up voluntarily.

Option 2: He targets a specific group that conservatives hate, and claims he'll only take guns from them. "We're only going to take the guns from the ____________ (illegals/terrorists/minorities/atheists/jews/liberals), not you good folks." The cops proceed to confiscate (steal) them from anyone they happen across, including people who voted for Trump.
