They should invent a cantaloupe that doesn't hatch into a tiny dragon who demands that you make your furniture equivalently tiny in the name of what he claims is equity

fifteen years later, one specific puzzle from the 2011 mit mystery hunt is still lodged in my brain and makes me notice when phrases have a lot of alphabetically consecutive letters, like how "quipster" has pqrstu
so i'm especially excited for kumail nanjiani (ijklmn) on taskmaster

great news everyone, I went back to the antique store to buy the cookbook and the directions for opening an egg from page 34 are even more unhinged than I could have imagined

when personnel must enter the container of tiny tim, who did NOT die, no fewer than 3 may enter at any time and the door is to be relocked behind them. at all times, 2 persons must maintain direct eye contact with tiny tim, who did NOT die, until all personnel have vacated and relocked the container
I first met Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, not long after my wife and I split up. I had just gotten over a serious illness that I won’t bother to talk about, except that it had something to do with the miserably weary split-up and my feeling that everything was dead.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was somewhere in Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold.

this is all part of my fun new trivia game, "is it a mr. beast challenge or a divine punishment from greek myth"
In Mr Beast’s new video, a woman is alone for two weeks on a platform in the sky. and each day, a balloon is released at an inopportune moment for her. And if she fails to shoot the balloon with an arrow, they take a small portion of the platform that is her home

one of my friends just proposed to his partner with the coolest freaking jigsaw puzzle i have ever seen
"Found In Translation" 490 pcs., 15"x15"x1", 2 layers, D: 9.8/10 - this was the trickiest puzzle commission of the year, hands down. I am pretty good at cutting weird tiny shapes but doing 200+ hieroglyph drop-outs and keeping all the surrounding pieces nice and connected was a real challenge.

my brain autocompletes this with bdg screaming "and i do not CARE if there is a difference"
Had a dream last night that was the usual mess, but at the end, I was watching a giant polar bear walk toward me, carrying a volcano like a snailshell on its back.
“Welp,” I said to the person next to me, “that’s either a god or a Pokemon.”

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

one missed opportunity with the movie "there will be blood" is that the closing credits music should have been maroon 5 doing "she will be loved" but with the title line changed to "there will be blood"
it would have been terrible and not fit the movie at all, but they still should have done it
