This weirdo asked his dying granddad what his thesis was on

Oh, that’s what it means? Looking forward to National Get Fucked Day, then.

Reminds me of “Robin and Marian,” with the nobles who showed open contempt for the Sheriff of Nottingham because he could read and write (that’s what SERVANTS do!).

OK, one more
A chihuahua mix dog stands on his hind legs to eat a piece of ham, but his forelegs aren’t visible and so he looks like some kind of foreshortened fucked-up squirrel from such as a ‘90s video game ad

TL;DR version:
Bro’d-out Billy Eichner points into the camera and says “Masculinity can be a prison, baby!” while walking next to Jason Sudeikis in a 2015 episode of Billy on the Street

Watched THE VOURDALAK (2023) the other night and it is easily the best family-horror allegory about the crushing pressure of patriarchy starring a vampire puppet that I’ve ever seen.
A Serbian peasant family and visiting French aristocrat gather around a table and stare at the camera in a scene from the movie The Vourdalak The peasant family’s patriarch Gorcha, who has returned to them as a mummy-looking vourdalak, stands with his musket in a scene from the movie The Vourdalak

The comic-book version showing the suit in action really did a number on me when I read it as a teen.
A comic page from The Forever War vol. 2 shows a space shuttle partially exploding in orbit. PANEL 1 I SAW THE HORIZON SWING BACK AND FORTH WHEN THE REAR OF THE SHUTTLE EXPLODED. PANEL 2 Close-up of a space helmet spattered with blood, the wearer’s head thrown back in pain SUDDEN AGONY AS SOMETHING CRUSHED MY LEG— PANEL 3 Close-up of a space suit leg where a bladed cuff has closed, amputating the leg at the thigh --THEN MORE PAIN AND A SHARP SNIP AS ONE OF THE SURGICAL SECTIONS OF MY SUIT CLAMPED ITS SCALPELS OVER THE STUMP. PANEL 3 The shuttle continues to explode, appearing to clip a rock formation as it descends CAUTERIZATION... AUTOMATIC TRANSFUSION.. ANTI-SHOCK... PANEL 4 The shuttle runs aground A TASTE OF LEATHER... 4 SCARLET MIST THAT ERASED EVERYTHING... PANEL 5 Darkness with a burst of red at the upper left corner IT WAS NOT VERY SERIOUS.

“I found this at a store and bought it,” what an absolutely weird way to start a game review.
Excerpted lede from a 1984 review of Donkey Kong Jr. that reads: “While strolling through a local Toys R Us store, I chanced upon a Donkey Kong Junior cartridge hidden amidst some unwanted Cabbage Patch Dolls. Hurriedly whipping out my wallet, I bought the game and rushed home. I slammed the cartridge into my trusty old 800, flipped the power switch and was greeted by a nice title screen and a rambling tune.”

Is that the one where the RAM would disconnect if you nudged it, crashing whatever game you’d just spent 5 minutes loading from a cassette tape? We had the US version when I was little.

Why play Search Action when you could play Lurch Action
Lurch from Fester’s Quest says “You rang.” A statement, not a question.

After years of it insisting that I like pop, modern R&B, and Ed Sheeran, today I am flabbergasted to see that Amazon Music’s algorithm finally seems to Get It.
The “My Soundtrack” feature on the Amazon Music app displays a photo of The Dead Milkmen, with text underneath that reads: STATION My Soundtrack Based on The Dead Milkmen, Beck, Ween and more...

So is the sequel to “Eat, Pray, Love” gonna be “Fuck, Marry, Kill” or what
A screencap of a New York Times skeet that says: Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of "Eat, Pray Love," thought she had found enlightenment and inner peace. But her new memoir gets dark. She spoke with "Modern Love" about how she began a romantic relationship with her best friend that almost destroyed her life. Underneath it is an image with a photo of Elizabeth Gilbert and the following text: "I want people to understand how insane codependency can make a person become. I'm the nice lady who wrote 'Eat, Pray, Love? And I came very close to premeditatedly and cold-bloodedly murdering my partner." Elizabeth Gilbert, author of "Eat, Pray, Love," on the "Modern Love" podcast

I will never forget the issue where one of the letters was like “you can’t call yourselves a barbarian comic if you don’t have a character saying ‘What manner of wizardry is this?!’ or ‘You FIEND!’ with the word ‘fiend’ underlined with wavy lines” and sure enough, in that very same issue:
Panel from Groo #52 (Marvel run) in which Groo wakes up from a drunken stupor to shout “What manner of wizardry ish thish?! You FIEND!” at a giant spider while his friend Chakaal is webbed up in the background
