Beef, it’s what’s for dinner

You may or may not be aware of composer Aaron Copland. You’ve probably heard his work, or something inspired by it, at some point. In fact, if you remember the 90’s (edit: in the US) you most certainly know one of his works, from the Rodeo suite. Specifically “Hoe-down”. You just associate it with a particular food

Just past the 1 minute mark is where it gets real familiar

Hehehe, I like your funny words, magic man

Isle 6, between the tchotchkes and the ramen.

But the best stuff is next door at the Ace Hardware. The ones by the Duracell batteries are best

Phone home!

Phone hoooooommmmmeeee!

‘Was there anything else on the dinner menu?’

‘Vole-au-vents and Cream of Rat,’ said Gimlet. ‘All hygienically prepared.’

‘How do you mean, “hygienically prepared”?’ said Carrot.

‘The chef is under strict orders to wash his hands afterwards.’

The assembled dwarfs nodded. This was certainly pretty hygienic. You didn’t want people going around with ratty hands.

• Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett

I just couldn’t get through it. But to each his own, I had a good friend who refused to read Pratchett’s Thief of Time because “books need chapters” lol

I have a friend that grew up reading the Wheel of Time series. He talked it up a lot. I got through the first two books and couldn’t keep going. He said, “It gets really good at the end of book three. Book four is amazing. Books five, six, and seven are only okay. There’s a couple more that are really good, but the last book falls flat.”

And I realized that’s probably how people that never watched Star Wars experience it after we recommend the movies to them. “This one specific movie is amazing, and those two are pretty okay. That one was good in its time and I like it for nostalgia. We didn’t talk about how the movie series ended. Want to watch the cartoons?”

Can confirm, am depressed

Sometimes I’m scrolling and my thumb gets lazy and goes sideways and I upvote or downvote things unintentionally.

It’s the only explanation that makes sense

Every society needs a cry like that, but only in a very few do they come out with the complete, unvarnished version, which is “Remember-The-Atrocity-Committed-Against-Us-Last-Time-That-Will-Excuse-The-Atrocity-That-We’re-About-To-Commit-Today! And So On! Hurrah!

Somewhere on my PC are literal scans of Twisted Toyfare Theater, from Toyfare magazines a friend has given me in the early 00’s. They’re not cleaned up or edited, you can see the curvature of the magazine on some, and the ripped edges of pages on others

Right? I feel like Child with Crayon should be between fanfic writer and 50 Shades

Name and shame OP

It’s hyperbole, but inspired by this outfit

Mine was Padme dressing in BDSM gear around the incel monk with an obvious crush on her, and then saying he made her uncomfortable when he started creeping on her

Generally I think women should be able to wear what makes them feel pretty/empowered/safe without getting creeped on, but goddamn, read the room chica!

Also, “I hate sand”. Kenobi H Christ, it’s awkward

that she could use the force

Except she couldn’t. She was Force sensitive, but had no training and couldn’t “use” the Force. And he had no idea he had children until after ANH. If he felt any connection at all to Leia he could have easily dismissed it as knowing Bail during the Clone Wars and that her family connection to Bail.

My actual biggest issue is that Mara Jade isn’t canon

Funny, last night my wife and I were greeted by the shithole that is SEA, followed by a 45 minute wait for a shuttle to the car rental place. That airport is a joke.

(We’re exploring this part of the country, camping along the way and flying back home from Butte. If we were staying in Seattle we’d just use public transit/taxis)

I’m in this picture and I love it
