The song in my head today is this scene from "Die Fledermaus," responsible for making the Venn diagram of opera fans and people who'd spend an embarrassing amount of money on a repeater watch into a circle.

The song in my head today is "Maybe" by the Ink Spots.

Some time in the '90s, I bought a game called "Fallout" because I heard it had Ink Spots songs. It became one of my favourite games. (But it only had one Ink Spots song, and that was "Maybe.")

Remember in 2018, when Scottish Twitter christened Trump "President Bawbag?"

All I can think now is "President Stoat-the-Baw... bag."

Age yourself with gaming!

(Had to link to a Reddit thread, because I couldn't find a screenshot of the 1984 CGA version, which is what I played. I did play Atari games before this, but this is the first game I won by myself.)

I remember once reading in a magazine, an actress was on a long flight and she didn't feel well, so they took her to a secret bed and let her lie down.

Years later, I was also on a long flight, and also not feeling well, and a stewardess kept coming and bothering me, asking me if I was OK.

I still think the most painful culture shock is going from a hot breakfast country to a cold cereal country.

Man, I hate cereal.

Years ago, I warned a friend in the TTRPG industry he had a known sex pest working for him. He continued employing the sex pest.

Some years later, I mentioned this on FB, and SEVERAL people apologised for not heeding my warning. I had not actually warned any of these people.

You know what I haven't seen much of lately?

Pickled beetroot.

It used to be everywhere...didn't it? I'd swear it was popular back in the '80s.

Confession: I have never in my life put a) haggis, or b) a fish finger in my mouth.

I made a vibes-based decision as a toddler that these were not food, and have stuck with it all the way to my forties.

Would I like these things? Maybe?
Will I ever know? NO!!!!!

You know what I haven't seen around lately?

Mobiles.

I mean, not mobile telephones, but, y'know. Mobiles. Those delicate wireframes you hang from your ceiling, with little ornaments dangling off them.

Didn't everyone have mobiles in, like, the '90s?

Deeply unpopular gaming opinion: "Dawn of the New World" was more fun than "Tales of Symphonia." (Not a better story, or a better-designed game...but I had more fun with it.)

The way I know psychic line callers don't REALLY believe in psychics is, almost all of them ask one of two questions:

1) when will I find love?
2) when will I find a job?

If you could talk to someone who could SEE THE FUTURE, is that really what you'd ask?

Really?

The villain of my dream last night was some guy who kept whining because a skunk had skunked, and its smell was strong.

I said to him, hey, man, who smelt it dealt it.

He said, it's not a fart.

I said fart rules apply, and banners appeared everywhere, every one reading FART RULES APPLY.

I've posted this before, but it always cracks me up.

(It's a bad art history joke, about "The Death of Marat.")

We should celebrate more joyous events by blowing vuvuzelas.

Just married? VUUUUUUUUU!
Graduating? VUUUUUUUUU!
Day at the beach? VUUUUUUUUU!
Dog just finished obedience training? Not VUUUUUUUUU, because dogs don't like that, but later, when the dogs are gone, very much VUUUUUUUUU!

You know what would be good?

Pop-Tarts, but with mincemeat pie filling, and a cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg glaze.

...actually, just a mincemeat pie, please.

At my primary school, we had a bully named Robbie.

Robbie's big thing was, he'd go up to someone and go "I think I smell a stinky pooh, coming from Y-O-U!" Then everyone would hold their noses and laugh.

The problem with Netflix recommendations is...there's two kinds of shit on Netflix: the shit you WANT to watch, and the shit you put on as background noise when you're home alone. There's MORE noise shit on there than, y'know, signal shit, so the noise ends up being, like, ALL your recommendations.

Last night, I dreamt I was somehow renting again, and my landlady barged in to tell me I didn't have enough furniture, and my bare flat was making the building look shabby to anyone looking in from outside.

Not the worst dream I've ever had. Not the best, either. A solid C-.
