I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Oh poo poo rip 90s cringe rock. your final post was a finally a good one

There were like 5 pages of posting Dune memes and also just posting about Dune in the Simpsons meme thread. I wouldn't call that disdain.

There's a new one coming out next year and they're clearly trying to make it a mega-franchise, thus the sudden renewed interest in the property.

And you should be, but I feel like the pun is too perfect for some people to leave it alone like by adding a third leaf that doesn't take the pun aspect into consideration and goes off in an opposing direction.

It's two jokes at once, which can feel like an overreach. I recall reading this in a later chapter of Ettinger, Ruiz & Richtman, seminal graduate-level text on comedy and joke construction, and furthermore

Someone at work showed me the incel/excel meme today and I got to not say that I was there as it was birthed AND point out that it is technically incorrect - an incel would never believe anything was a date since in their worldview they’re undateable. I am incredibly fun at parties.

I dunno I actually like the three one particularly because it has the added wasp/W.A.S.P joke which I appreciate a lot. Like wasp/WASP is a very good pun by itself.

True, it does make it feel like having a pun per combination is an important part of the overall tapestry. I may be swayed to this line of thinking

I think that type of incel, the fatalistic type who believes they are doomed to never have a girlfriend because Chad and Stacy are in league against them, is technically called a "blackpill." They are different from regular incels, who are simply frustrated that they can't get laid and ascribe it to women being bitches instead of something about themselves.

This has been your daily briefing on incel taxonomy.

in case the other half is confusing; figs are basically inverted flowers. In order to actually be pollenated, a particular type of wasp needs to enter the fig, wherein it is trapped and dies. The fig breaks down the wasp carcass long before you eat it tho.

Yeah they're usually "bubble" kids whose worldview was largely shaped by pop media, in the way that they always feel they're the protagonist of life and are "owed" a hot girl per the terms of self-actualization shown in every boy protagonist movie from 1980-now.

Here's how a good DM can roll with it.

DM advice: *at end of first verse* You hear machinations within the door moving. The door does not open. I wonder if more singing would do more...

Bard: *Sings the rest of the song with the rest of the table joining in*

DM: The door slowly opens. Behind it, you see a wall of shields and spears because the silent door was opened with song, raising alarms. Roll initiative.

I'm currently new-DMing the 5e starter set, specifically Phandelver, and the first time Wave Echo Cave got mentioned by name a party member supplied "far away in time". We just had a bit of a laugh, I didn't know I was missing out on tumblr clout
