Still here.
This is where my wife and I are, 95% of the time. If we happen to find/think of something pretty close to a birthday/anniversary/Christmas then we might hold off on giving it until then.

Now I'm just picturing Tom Petty finishing up a concert and as he enters his dressing room, there's Jeff Lynne waiting for him.

"I'm here to talk to you about the Wilburys Initiative."

Inspector Barnaby. She was really pushing her luck, poking around Midsomer, making gentle observations about Joyce.

This is the version I was looking for, though I'd heard Maine.

Every time I see this, I wonder if a similar reason explains why Minnesotans play "Duck, Duck, Gray Duck" instead of "Duck, Duck, Goose"? I certainly wouldn't blame them for not wanting to summon a goose.

My understanding of this critique is that it's less libertarian than Objectivist-adjacent--the supers are naturally superior beings, and society responds by restraining them, and this is portrayed as negative, as is Dash having to be slow. Supers being altruistic isn't so Objectivist though.

From a physics point of view, if the pun is the lowest form of wit, then it represents a ground state for language and any downward transition is punning to one degree or another, so we just need to establish the complete set of humor states to figure the number of puns. Easy, though Bohring.

You'd need to have a calibrated history for their atmosphere and know a lot of other bits of information about how their metabolism deals with carbon. C-14 dating isn't as straightforward as a lot of the rock dating systems we use.

Don't make me go all Count of Monte Cristo on you for taking these before I saw the thread.

Lots of planets have highlands.

So it's the fault of your meal and you're blameless? 😁

I'm glad people are reacting to this. When it first popped up, I just went, "Oh no, not them too," and immediately went away, not wanting to wallow in the slop. People laughing at it/approving of it were the only reason I went back to actually watch it.

As observed by all good people.

Well, as I learned the hard way, it's not mac-a-burr.
