  1. Some amusing artwork spotted in downtown Portland.
  2. If there are subsequent seasons, I hope that each one features a different element of nature to bludgeon with heavy-handed symbolism. Maybe next year's people can have a family ritual where they eat sand, or throw dirt, or smell rocks or something like that a few times an episode.
  3. Literally "I left my mark" - maybe that's it???
  4. I don't expect anyone here to have any more insight on the topic than I do, but I am continually bewildered whenever I see someone has etched some kind of nickname into the mirror, fixtures, etc., of a public restroom. I understand graffiti, and I understand tagging, but what's the point of scratching your name, initials, nickname, gang name, etc. in a random public bathroom? Even accepting the statistical unlikelihood of someone reading your scratches and recognizing your name, what's the fucking point? "Oh, awesome, Morbo82 pissed here once too!" or "the 21st Street Crips really get around - a member of theirs has pissed at this airport. They must control Terminal 3." Just baffling.
  5. They sit outside for a year before they get indoor privileges. At that point, those that survive are very hard and dry, and I expect all the good parts have been eaten. Mrs. Doom was skeptical at first, but she's now a true believer.
  6. You were probably too busy picking fights at the zoo that day.
  7. The author left a few boxes unchecked, though I'm sure that's at least partly a reflection of its specific era of creation.
  8. Just make the tortillas out of toilet paper so that they automatically wipe.
  9. I would argue that in the D&D canon, he's just a kobold (or perhaps a goblin or orc) with some kind of uber-powerful charisma boost against all players with less than 15 combined wisdom and intelligence points.
  10. Given that you've never shied away from pedantry either, I would be remiss if I didn't point out that it's Mogwai that are small and cute. When you feed Mogwai after midnight, that's how you get Gremlins.
  11. Mildly satisfying, in a Titanic-deck-chairs-feng-shui kind of way.
  12. I assume that the statute of limitations has passed on this, but some buddies of mine were wreaking havoc all over campus with one for a week or two. School security saw them with it and confiscated it, even though there was no direct proof that they were the culprits of all the shenanigans. They followed his Ford Ranger patrol truck around all night, and when he stopped to take a leak or go into a building or something, they broke into his truck and stole it back. I pointed out the added risk multiplier of getting caught with it from that point onward, and their reign of terror reluctantly concluded.
  13. Oh, man. Doomlet and his idiot pals would definitely get arrested.
  14. Ooh, I haven't thought about The Hitchhiker for years. The opening where he slowly disappears always freaked me out as a kid. I wonder how well that show holds up today.

    ORD has "cannabis amnesty boxes" after the TSA checkpoint.
  16. Same. And at times, Zoe appears to be cross-eyed. Separately, I'm still not sure how I feel about the Inspector Gadget theme song being featured in a Toyota commercial.
  17. Nothing is ever okay!?!
  18. Separately, I'm open to ideas for the remaining potatoes. I'm mailing a few to friends, but will have a bunch left. Might just dump them at the local park to let kids figure out a good use...
  19. Yesterday was (Re)Interment Day. I didn't get a picture of the final state of decay for our "normal" pumpkin because at the time I realized that yesterday was the "throw away your pumpkins to be composted" collection day, I had 9 minutes to collect and contain the mess and get to the dropoff location. It's one of these though! But I did get a picture of its leftover Buttmold™ befouling our porch: Final group shot of the season: This guy is still quite heavy and seems to be going strong. I'm guardedly optimistic that he will survive to join the permanent cast. A whole bunch of tiny flying insects came flying out of his holes when disturbed. Pretty gnarly. Indoor crew in their winter/spring/summer resting spots: Pledge class picture prior to entombment in the Putrefication Copse. Dog was curious for a brief moment, then not curious at all. Mutant Alien and the dude in the middle seem likely to survive. Not sure what might happen with the other random gourds - we'll see. To continue the voodoo momentum, I added one potato of each color and the recordkeeping to the innards of a guy that I do not expect to survive the winter. Soggy spots when lifting, animals don't seem to have decided that it's poisonous, and the hide isn't as tough as I believe it needs to be. Final resting places: Not a moment too soon, as we got a dusting of snow overnight.
  20. Bangin' in Little Rock.
  21. No, they deserve the death penalty.
  22. Like a Coen brothers character bad at pulling off disguises but who nevertheless continues trying new ones.
  23. Perverse mutation of the Black Sheep Effect from social psychology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_sheep_effect ~~~~~ In other fun news, due to ICE lurking near schools, the Doomlet and every other kid in our district has now had their last outdoor recess and PE for the foreseeable future. Motherfuckers.
  24. Well, he's also barely literate, so I'm not so sure that this is the explanation.
