Or they’ll cancel it instead of making a few tweaks to appeal to a specific popular niche (cough, Xterra, cough). 

This seems like a fairly reasonable and level-headed apology. Admittedly I have a soft spot for Dav Pilkey because my son adores the Captain Underpants books. Also (spoiler)

I cannot be the only person deeply disappointed this was not a comforter adorned with the Scooby Gang’s faces.

It’s true-technically being Jewish is both an ethnicity and a religion, at least according to AncestryDNA, which classified me as “98% Jewish”. The other 2% is proving hard for them to nail down, as 1% has wandered from England to Norway to Germany. The other 1% is Russian, which is as surprising as the sky being blue.

Why is he wearing a bunny shirt? 

Debris has potential, but they need to narrow their focus. There’s so many subplots going on I need one of those conspiracy boards to follow it all.

Years ago I lived near neighbors who owned 5 chihuahuas but only had 3 leashes. Inevitably, I’d have some combo of leashless chihuahuas chasing me on my runs, nipping at my pants and howling angrily at my audacity for existing. 

I think what I hate most about this entire discussion is that I’m weirdly siding with Kim here. Someone paid her a weird compliment, and she went along with it.

Yea the homecoming votes make a hysterical headline, but this is basically identity theft. Whole other animal. 

I’m turning 40 this month. I was ok with it, mostly. But according to Buzzfeed, I’m already mentally 45. Huh. 

I see White Vision as more like Data from ST:TNG. He’s just accessed an enormous info-dump giving him an entire emotional life arc, but he doesn’t have the emotional ability to connect to it. Data sometimes gets emotions, and he connects with those, but when they’re gone he’s often curious or has a hard time grasping…

Oh god remember when 7-11 tried to sell burgers shaped like hot dog buns? Or was that only a regional thing that they sold poop shaped burgers?

The fact that a Kentucky roadside attraction sees Cocaine Bear as an all-ages attraction explains so much about Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell. 

Yup, the more time that money grows the better.

Thank you! That jumped way out at me right away. Also, if you’re trying to reach Cory Booker, the best bet would be to call various Newark-based numbers since he lives there...

It’s definitely not sustainable when you have Disney’s army of lawyers breathing down your neck, just waiting for you to make one mistake so they can retake their IP. It’s also got to make it hard to make selling attractive when the saleable portion is a grab bag of crap, and the good stuff isn’t on the table. 

Also if Sony sells the tv and movie division it also gives Marvel a chance to have Spidey back. I feel like when there were rumors of Apple or another company sniffing around Sony, it was mentioned in several articles that Marvel can take Spidey back in the event of Sony being acquired.

My mother texted me randomly this week to ask if I’ve ever noticed that hamantaschen resemble, um...the female anatomy, and now I can’t unsee it. 

Also, IIRC part of why Sony was pumping out things like Amazing Spider-Man was because they have to use the IP or they’ll be vulnerable to Disney suing to take it back. They can’t “own” the rights to Spidey and never use them or Marvel will ask for it back.

There used to be a smashburger near me. I liked it ok, but mostly I liked that it was conveniently located. I had a particularly rough workout on top of a particularly rough day once, and all I kept telling myself was that if I got through everything I could get a burger and a shake for dinner as a special, “no good…
