Are you not supposed to close the drawer because you're not supposed to return the card because the librarians don't trust people to put them back in the right spot?

given how internet services have gone to bespoke / customized results, google and co are probably worse than a grandparents encyclopedia set from god knows what decade.

You just unlocked a trove of lost memories in my brain. I wish all the episodes were available, I loved it. Were these shown at every school in the late '80s, or just in the South?

I guarantee every person sharing that picture (and the person who took it, and the person who put the letters on the sign) haven't read a book - or anything longer than a headline - since they left school.

I'm almost certain that they are referring to high school too, so lol at bragging about passing the easiest part of your life. The part where you almost have to actively try to fail or just not participate at all in order to do so.

I know for a fact I had to work way harder than my parents in school because I was doing advanced mathematics that my parents never imagined having to do. I’m sure my kid’s standards are being moved up earlier than I had to deal with.

I guess if you've been looking for a reason to donate to PBS, you can get them here: https://www.pbs.org/show/tomes-talismans/ I watched the series in Arizona in the early 90's, so it definitely got around.

WoodrowSkillson posted:possibly the best episode, even if pumaman is my favorite Near the end of the movie, when Reb Brown lets out a ridiculously feminine scream, and one of them riffs "WHO TOOK MY PURSE?" is I think the hardest I've ever laughed in my life. The best part of that episode is when I watched it with a friend of mine, the very first thing he said is "Wait, all this spaceship footage is from Battlestar Galactica!" which I had no clue as I never watched that show. I remember years later someone asked them why they didn't make at least one joke about that, and the response from them was just "Oh yeah, I guess we didn't make any jokes about that, oh well."

The Rifftrax live version of Space Mutiny is almost as good if only because by putting in the scenes cut from the MST3K version you get an even better feeling for just how loving *awful* the film is. They actually did it a favour by trimming out half an hour of mostly even more farting around in the Enforcers/mobility scooters and Obligatory 80s Movie Boobs. For me the funniest moment is another Reb Brown scream, at the end of the low-speed game of chicken, where he lets out what he's obviously convinced is a very convincing Stallone-style "YAAAARGH", then calmly exits the vehicle. It's up there with Samson's grand entrance for moments that they can't actually make any funnier, they're just so ridiculous on their own.

Not a forward/repost or a meme, but an actual honest-to-god article on a leading national news site. It contains the direct quote "I am taking my business elsewhere", and even ends with an unironic "Sad." https://i.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-drink/127161907/the-sausage-rolls-that-turned-me-into-an-excustomer If you're playing Boomer Bingo along at home, be sure to check these off:

Good lord the air of condescension here, as if the hourly wage slave puts heart and soul into the food, and you deign to grant them that you sometimes buy it even though it's gross crap.

What the guy was upset about wasn't the lack of a sausage roll, it was the absence of obsequious bowing and scraping of servile apology from the attendant to his betters They want wage slaves to be literal slaves

The article also says it was the third time in six weeks so at that point you have to figure the problem is "Oh, maybe there's supply chain issues or something," especially given that the employee's response was a shrug which most people are going to interpret as "What can ya do eh?" Maybe the employee could have outright said it but they were probably tired of saying the same thing repeatedly to assholes like that guy and they don't get paid enough to care.

 It's been said many times in this thread, but conservative "humor" is really just imaging someone they don't like being mad about the latest conservative provocation. Have Trump play Alec Baldwin! No, have Kyle Rittenhouse on the show! That'll show those libs, HAW HAW HAW!!!! You just wonder if these people are capable of enjoying the humor in something that isn't meant to be insulting or cruel, or if that's all that's left to them.

It's why I find the whole "Let's Go Brandon" thing hilarious. They think it triggers the libs but all it does is make them look like idiots. Go ahead and say gently caress Joe Biden, even if we support him we don't worship him.
