Anything muppets, I have so many positive memories, even the "so-so" movies make me smile ear to ear.

Moulin Rogue, it's been one-upped so hard in the movie-musical genre, but I saw it like 10 times in theaters (back when that wouldn't require a second mortgage) and still love it.

"Were you there?" shudders with rage

I mean yes, because that, but also it's just pretty.

I'm a total wimp and I went upper outer thigh. Got it at a reputable place, but spur of the moment with a friend. Very little pain, almost always hidden, but as a bonus, gives me an excuse to hike up my shorts/skirt when it comes up in conversation.

GoldenEye split screen.

Lose 10lbs fast with this one simple trick!

I saw Minecraft and Stardew mentioned already. But not the ultimate time sink, Kerbal SP, especially with mods and documentation. Though I'm not sure 5 years is long enough, can I request an extension?

The full story is almost better than that. As told by his brother:

"Well, this old librarian, she says, 'This library is not for coloreds.' He said, 'Well, I would like to check out these books.'

"She says, 'Young man, if you don't leave this library right now, I'm gonna call the police.'

"So he just propped himself up on the counter, and sat there, and said, 'I'll wait.' "

[The police and his mother were called]

"And the police officer said, 'You know, why don't you just give the kid the books?'

"And my mother said, 'He'll take good care of them.' "

So, the librarian reluctantly handed over the books. And then, Carl says, "my mother said, 'What do you say?' "

And Ron answered, "Thank you, ma'am."

Full story: NPR

As a former teacher of younger kids, that feature probably makes them 10x less likely to be forgotten/lost. (The size is "youth 10-") Agree it's kinda gross, but kids are wired differently.

ACT 1, The GOP kills his puppy...

As an adult who grew up on sesame street and the muppets, it's just the unabashed wholesomeness that I love. They were preaching inclusivity when I was growing up in a time/place that tried to force conformity. They weren't cool, they were themselves, and that's never a bad message for kids (or adults).

The newer movie (The Muppets 2011), co-written by Jason Segal, who also grew up with The Muppets, captures that vibe perfectly IMHO.

Exactly, this is only an issue for me if my cat manages to build a wifi jammer. Though that is a possibility.

I worked in craft beer marketing for a while and the running joke about untapped was something like...

"Best lager I've ever had... I don't like lagers. 1 star."

Ah, I see the problem. I'm afraid you've accidentally adopted a Velociraptor.

During lockdown I tried making fruit wine without doing enough reading. It smelled like acetone and I'm pretty sure it was lightly poisonous. He can have that recipe if he wants.

I read(yelled) this entirely in Lewis Black's voice.

He had slayed me, mutha! [Deathdrops.

Fact: This is actually where the phrase "shrimp on the barbie" comes from. It has nothing to do with BBQ.

I mean I recognize it, but as something I frequently say to my therapist. (They finally divorced when I was 24).

Because he paid a pornstar, Tobequiet.
