It was actually a real news thing a while ago that there's a rise in head lice among teenagers and young adults since there's a lot more hair-hair contact among those groups than there used to be.

Cheap Thrills Cuisine May 14, 2014  May 21, 2014  A pattern emerges. In the Cheap Thrills universe, food with lots of chopped up ingredients looks way worse in pictures than food with one recognizable main ingredient.

EasyEW posted:Funky Winkerbean gives us Les Moore and the Curse of the First Timer. EasyEW posted:Les is such a rube that he thinks movie companies film the first submitted draft. I've never had a book published, and yet even I can see how stupid and immature Les is being. This probably will end with Les giving up and saying "they tried to ruin my perfect cancerwife script!  "

This is the perfect adaptation of the Funky Winkerbean univ- oh right, when you remember they don't live in a self aware comic strip world he really is just some old goober depressingly writing an autobiographical Lifetime movie of the week, isn't he?

Pvt.Scott posted:So, I'm only vaguely familiar with "It Happened One Night" because while I like me some films, it's been on the list of films to watch one of these days for a lot of days. It sounds like the plot is Girl is going to marry Guy, but Douche detains and terrorizes Girl until she gives in to Douche. Is this one of those things like with the song "Baby, It's Cold Outside,"(a song about feeding a woman alcohol and emotionally manipulating her to gently caress you) where it's a super popular old thing that upon further reflection is actually pretty terrible? I'm still catching up in the thread, so I don't know if this has been addressed, but I don't remember the movie being anything quite as... rapey as that, thankfully. While it's been a year since I've seen it and my memory isn't perfect, I think it's something like this: Rich Dad wants his sheltered daughter to get married to the guy he's chosen, but she doesn't want to, so she runs away. She buys a bus ticket and on the bus meets Clark Gable, who's a suave, down-on-his-luck con man of sorts. They can hardly stand each other at first, but once he finds out the girl's dad has put a big reward out for her safe return, he starts trying to get her back home while keeping her in the dark about his plan. Then of course they fall in love as they're traveling together, and I won't spoil it beyond that but everybody should watch it.

Yeah, he doesn't really detain her, they just end up traveling together kinda like an old-timey Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

Ema Nymton posted:I've never had a book published, and yet even I can see how stupid and immature Les is being. The thing is, I assume he's trying to do a soulless movie studios who're only in it for the money!! thing, but even then it doesn't make any sense. A movie called "Lust for Lisa" with Les's weepy script intact is just going to (a.) scare away any people who would actually want to watch a generic "inspirational" cancer story like that, and (b.) disappoint anyone who would watch it expecting smut.What I'm trying to say is, if this studio is supposed to be run by money-hungry sharks who are in it to make a quick buck, they just seem... really stupid. Which means that an awful, incompetently-run studio was the one to buy Les's script, which I guess is the closest this whole dumb story comes to realism!

I'm sorry but I think I identify with the joke in the last Zippy panel here more than anything in the newspaper comics ever. Not recognizing that your TV's bad aspect ratio makes people not look human anymore is the most American thing in the world. "I'm gonna spend $8k on a TV and I'm basically loving blind!"

I visited my mother and stepfather last summer, and got to see their hdtv in action. He has an irrational loathing of letter and/or pillarboxing, probably along the lines of "we have a wide tv, we need to use all of it!" It drove me up the goddamn wall.

Gil It's a good thing Yoshi's Island DS wasn't a console game because it was basically the epitome of this... Retail  ...customer service? We don't do that poo poo here. We don't give a poo poo about customers. The only people we care about are other retail employees. Actually, that's not true either. Let me amend that. We only care about other retail employees who are exactly like ourselves with the correct(TM) opinions. Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  First, Star Wars Day, and now this? Bleeker is really up on manufactured dork holidays. Dustin  I was gonna say the ripped jeans style is years old but I just looked up a couple women's apparel sites and sure enough they still sell them. Ugh. On the Fastrack  Uh don't they both work directly with the CEO of the company? Like, right outside her room? Heaven's Love Thrift Shop  Yeah, and Willy Wonka said: “Mr. Wonka: "Don’t forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he wanted." Charlie Bucket: "What happened?" Mr. Wonka: "He lived happily ever after.”

The answer posted:
Slylock Fox  You know, I'm kinda curious how this keeps happening. Did Slylock and Max go over to Weirdly's dungeon of horrors one day and Weirdly welcomed them in as guests and invited them to sit down and served them a couple glasses of lemonade? And then Slylock and Max drank it? Again? I'm really starting to question Slylock's claims to super sleuth cunning here.  Kinda really disappointed Moose and Molly did such a generic mother-in-law joke. Also that guy looks like Jack. If it was, and Jack finally got hitched, I think that would've been a far more interesting development. Midnight Moth fucked around with this message at 06:41 on May 25, 2014 |
