I know no one wants to do it, but I think adults who have kids need to be sat down and given ‘the talk’. Um, ‘the math talk.’

“Show, don’t tell” whenever possible.

Interesting to know. I’ll add writing a work email to the list of potentially fitting situations. Seems situational, though, whether the email is written to roll uphill or down.

As a fiction writer, I follow two rules:

Oops.  Forgot one of them was gone.  So, whichever one, Milli or Vanilli, Fabrice Morvan was.  That’s what I meant.

Monster: Lots are guessing T-Pain (and probably right).

Yessssssss!  Me, too.  Except without even the barest excuse for getting hooked.

She’s literally literally the poster child for believing dumb things. How hard could it be to fool her?

I was on the fence, leaning hard toward Donny until the wig nailed it for me. It’s clearly from his time as Joseph.

How did you not know Latoya had such a figure? Having outdone outstripped Michael in the surgery department was literally her claim to fame in the family.

Lots of people are guessing T-Pain is Monster, which seems a good guess. He keeps referring to how he was told he wasn’t legit and all the auto-tune he did certainly fits that clue.

Freddy Mercury discovers no man is an island, but one joke is.

I don’t think Nutcracker and Wrinkle in Time can blame proximity to other movies for failure. Their themes and story felt very unsophisticated and the dramatic level of both felt directed toward the type of children who, growing up in the social and informational landscapes transformed by the Internet, no longer…

Dang it! Now Will Smith’s can never become Governor of Smurf Village.

Always remember to dispose of the dented can along with the corpse. It is really hard to make it look like the victim committed suicide rather than eat creamed corn.

The idea of progressive tax brackets is fairness. Even ignoring, for a moment, the fair observation that the poor require more of their limited incomes to survive, it is a fair observation that capital has a multiplying effect. The rich benefit from that effect, the poor do not. Therefore it is fair to expect the rich…

When she was on the council, they correctly told Qui-Gon, the Jedi who found Anakin, that he shouldn’t train the young boy.

Make a left turn.

So, you think I got the double-entendre, but not the entendre? Um, OK? That may work in your brain, but again, I can’t claim credit for that cognitive dissonance.
