The true Golden Path was the lizards we met along the way

If there was a god, I'd imagine them designing the universe and giggling like an idiot when they made math.

The Star Wars Expanded Universe (now called "Star Wars Legends" because of Disney)

Plot twist: the cat put up the sign

Holy crap that Animorphs game; I absolutely remember playing that. Stupid Yeerks

Logical Journey of the Zoombinis, Gizmos and Gadgets, All of the Carmen Sandiego titles (US, World, Space, etc.), Commander Keen

Sauron Denies Request for Contract Information

Reading a prepared statement from the tower of Barad-dûr, the Mouth of Sauron indicated today that the Dark Lord would not be complying with the demands of lawmakers to provide information on its contracts with the Trump Administration. The Messenger of Mordor further called the demands "ridiculous" and "unnecessary government intrusion into private affairs of Sauron, who does not answer to any higher authority, save that of his fallen master Morgoth." Furthermore, the statement chastised the lawmakers for contacting Sauron through the Palantir, which he described as "an illegal privacy breach," and said he planned to seek legal action for this invasion of his personal communications.

Or whatever those lyrics are

The real answer is that when I closed the tags, they didn't show up in the comment. So I left them open, because it looked utterly ridiculous. But I like your interpretation way better!

<unwarranted rage No way, BONTO! sucked. You couldn't even Slorp your entire friends list anymore, and they added all of those BONTOgrams for no reason. We disagree on a topic, so I despise you now and your entire genetic line. </rage

But you should really try NeWSlarP, a FLOSS fork of Slorp by the original developer that brings back both SlorpTokens and Schlarpmänner!

Lol, I'm pretty sure I watched this when it went up 17 years ago, amazing memory.

I had an old school friend I visited in Chicago, and her apartment had a locked door in her bedroom against the back wall, and her landlord had just said "it's not used, just ignore it." It didn't even have a doorknob, so she had just ignored it for like 3 years. The building had been there for like 100 years.

Naturally, after some alcohol, I convinced her I could lockpick it, and we pushed her bed to the side and I spent about ten drunken minutes picking the deadbolt. We finally got it open, and discovered it was a straight-up small elevator! None of the lights or buttons worked, and we were worried about it falling, so we got out of there.

To this day, I'm not sure if it was an old building elevator for residents and her room had been a hallway, or if it was some kind of (very small) service elevator, or something for the ADA (handicapped requirements). But it was absolutely fascinating.

Interesting that we both dislike Rogue One, but I also don't like anything else recent. That being said, I'm always down for some Penn and Teller, those guys are great

I was a huge Star Wars fan before Disney took over, and haven't liked anything they've done with it. Most people agree, with 2 exceptions: Andor, which I admittedly haven't watched yet, and...Rogue One

I don't think Rogue One is much better than the other Disney Star Wars drivel, but I'm apparently the only person in the universe who thinks that. I've watched it three times and just don't get why people think it's good.

My new dryer, which is significantly better in almost all aspects than my old one, has a non-adjustable very quiet alert (bell? signal? alarm?). I often can't even hear it, so I find myself completely forgetting about it until later that day or tomorrow.

Headline could be misleading, but it basically means that (according to one independent analysis) China's emissions have just stopped growing this year. They are still the world's largest contributor by far. This hilariously optimistic chart from the same site shows them relative to the US and almost all of Europe:

Still, not gonna knock what is good news, or at least "better than the alternative" news

Apply Directly To The Forehead.

This sounds insane, but I'm absolutely fascinated by it. I just ran out of cottage cheese yesterday, but I'm going to try making these later this week!

She seems so sweet and is so pretty! I had a black cat growing up, and they're just so adorable

Fantastisch Geschichte! Diese Katzen sind schön, und ich liebe, dass so vielen Katzen Lilly heißt. Meine Eltern hatten ein dreifarbige (Calico) Katze, und sie war ganz süß. Ich vermisse sie sehr. Mein Bruder hat sie "Snickers" genannt, wie die Süßigkeiten.

Also, vielen Dank für das Schrieben auf Deutsch. Ich spreche Englisch und lerne Deutsch, und es ist sehr hilfreich, die Übersetzung zu sehen. "Er ist ganz schön dehnbar" = "He's a stretchy boy", LOL. Es tut mir leid für mein schlechtes Deutsch.
