The only Lost Boys royalty is the jacked up, oiled up sax player on the boardwalk. And where’s he now, huh?

Valerian was a Faberge’ egg of a turd. Everything was polished to the nth degree but it was all a micron thick, and underneath was just.... shit.

Lucky Charms or GTFO

Whatever creams your twinkie...

Exactly!

Sure, it takes years off your life. But they’re the shitty years!! My great aunt lived to 92, which was about 20 years longer than it should have been. between the macular degeneration, osteoporosis and dementia, she ended up talkingto her dead relatives, complaining she couldn’t see them.

“Hey! Hey! Hey!”

In cases where the kids were clearly aware of it, I have no problem booting them. In cases where it’s very clear that the student probably shouldn’t be there because they are unable/unwilling to actually do the work, sure, kick the layabouts to the curb.

In some cases, the kids DO take the test, and it’s not a good score. So the parents make arrangements w/o the kid’s knowledge to have him ‘retake’ the test, sending in a ringer to take the test for him. Or they have the kid go through a bogus ‘prep course’, and then have bribed the proctor to change the answers, or to…

Then maybe you can explain this:

but.. but.. you STILL need the single components. Don’t you? I mean, sometimes you want ketchup or mustard or sriracha without mayo. don’t you?

Christopher Lee really did have the perfect voice for Death. Especially Pratchett’s Death. He required absolutely no modulation or audio enhancement. He pronounced, and it properly came out the perfect audio equivalent ALL CAPS STATEMENTS WITH ALL THE SOLIDITY OF A LEAD SARCOPHAGUS

WTF? If you were at all inclined to eat any of these, wouldn’t you ALREADY have bottles of whatever your preferred brands are, and thus be capable of making your own bespoke creation right there on the spot, bite by bite if desired....

They exist. Funko Pops, Dunnies, and all the other utterly artless, useless, “collectable” plastic trash is all just permanent landfill fodder. It’s not art. It’s not clever. It’s a piece of crap they can sell for about 100x what it costs to make.

Either a child with music-box accompaniment or a Marilyn Manson sound-alike...

Is it? I just returned from living in Vancouver, BC for a couple of years, and though I didn’t know about kansui at the time, I’d have to believe that I could probably find it a darn sight easier than I’d have in smaller American city. The pan-asian presence in the greater Vancouver area is HUGE. It’s one of the few…

There’s also kansui (aka lye water), which is basically sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate already in solution. Can be found at Asian markets and the like.

I made up a batch of baked baking soda to make homemade ramen noodles. It was easy to do and worked exactly as advertised. And it turned my noodles into golden chewy goodness.

Fun fact: ace was so out of it for the filming of that that they took out most of his lines (he couldn’t remember them anyway), and a large portion of the time, it’s actually his standin in Ace makeup. Easy to tell because 1) the poorly fitted wig and 2) he’s a black guy, which is totally obvious even under the…
