The second half of that catch 22 being, if you do happen to hire a woman (probably by accident)...

I’m kind of enjoying the nostalgia related to a few of my local Stops being art installations and businesses that are long gone. I’d feel differently if any of them were now a big hole in the ground.

Wall to wall Drowzee over here. I was starting to take it as commentary on the neighborhood. Then it switched to Zubats at night. Definitely a comment on the neighborhood.

Hey, thank you. It’s not my favorite day of the year, that’s for sure, but I’m doing okay. I just sent my friend’s mom a Mother’s Day email. I realized I’ve been witness to three generations of their family not screwing it up and that’s pretty great.

I’m snickering over the “As loud as humanly possible” on the top of the Avenger’s theme sheet music. I suppose we should be grateful the instruction isn’t, “Pound those keys like you’re wearing Hulk Hands!”

As a non-musician, I have to wonder how hard it is to work a recognizable character theme into a piece when the MCU movies and scores have been so diverse? Is it just “okay, we’re using sweeping symphonic sounds, but play this rock melody ‘cause Iron Man’s showing up?” (I’m thinking of the Cap theme popping up briefly…

I cannot express enough sympathy. I have had only a very little taste of something akin and it was both miserable and frightening.

As someone who gives the name “Bob” at Starbucks and other places that want your name to track your order, and who has to help confused/embarrassed/annoyed strangers to pronounce my name all the d*mn time (sometimes, I have to help the same person multiple times), let me tell you, I wish my parents had gone with…

Surely you’ve read about Dr. Loki Skylizard? His parents allowed him to pick his own name as a teen. He’s obviously risen above it, with a grin, but... I’m not sure all of us would be able to overcome what our 13-year-old selves thought was cool.

I like cookies and banging on stuff. Obviously I should befriend you as a couple, practice my timing, and get both power tool time AND cookies! :)

I believe I know what happened to handled cookie cutters of yore: people like me. I have only ever been vaguely on board with the whole cookie-making thing. I want cookie-eating! As it happens, if you use the handle without also pressing down around the non-handle parts, your cookie-cutting is haphazard and the person…

Parents Have Been Requesting Star Wars Toys for Their Daughters For Decades

Exactly what I was about to comment. I even was planning to use the same 1960s Batman style onomatopoeia bits. I believe you and I should become friends immediately!

She has had enough of her creator’s B.S.

“That lipstick is all wrong for your complexion” finally makes sense to me!

It’s actually creepier that they got the knee structure right and screwed up the human torso so badly. Someone’s forgotten everything they learned in life drawing class!

I like the metal body, but Zebra gel ink has a faint, unpleasant odor. Enough that I’ve noticed it and avoid Zebra pens because of it.

Thank you. That answers my question beautifully.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Ahh. Excellent! Thank you! I didn’t get that far because I didn’t spot the option to buy my way out of ads. Seems like it would be worth the $20 to not see that stuff. Unless it’s not?
