when I was 7 I wrote a recipe for "melted cheese balls" which was a random bunch of ingredients plus 3 tbsp vanilla. since all the cookie recipes I had read called for vanilla, I thought naturally all recipes should use it

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

As @riversidebryan.bsky.social somehow guessed, the gentleman with this wild hair/atrocious wig was…Mickey Rooney, Jr. He was a guest on GERALDO in 1990. And even in 1990, that hair was…no bueno. He passed in 2022.

I designed packaging for a company that makes kids' cough syrup. A big seller was blue raspberry, which isn't an actual fruit, just raspberry with blue dye. One day, marketing asked me to design a pack for "dye-free blue raspberry." I could not convince them how nonsensical that was.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
