I was going to correct you and say that two words starting with A aren’t alliteration but assonance. But when I looked it up to make sure I was right, I wasn’t. There might not be a word for the same vowel letter in successive words. shrug

• alliteration – repeated initial consonant sounds in multiple words
• assonance – repeated vowel sounds within multiple words
• consonance – repeated consonant sounds within multiple words

p.s. I support any name that conveys the obvious nazi connection.

I’m honored!

I bought a reusable tote for like $3 in the section at the front of Target where they stick all the cheap stuff. It looks like it’s made of woven burlap. It says “Going to Market” on the sides. It’s shorter than the standard reusable tote, but a reasonable width.

I bought it on a whim and thought it would sit in my trunk after I forgot about it. I use it all the time, and I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on it at checkouts of various stores.

Great. I’m a millennial. I’ll never be able to afford a home. And I’m certainly not at all bitter about it, as I’m sure you can tell.

I would say mowing lawns, but I don’t know if that’s in as much demand either since no one can afford a home (at all, let alone with a front yard).

He and Kevin Hart did a half hour Olympics recap comedy show last summer for Peacock during the Olympics. Since the Olympics were in France, they brought this bit back at one point.

Sidenote: I highly recommend that recap show. It seemed like there were absolutely no rehearsals, and they were surprised by the content of every clip they showed. Some awkwardness in some moments, especially with guests they clearly didn’t know, but a lot of funny too.

Fun fact: it’s very rare for possums to have rabies! Their body temp is too low for the rabies to live.

I still enjoyed your musical parody. :)

Better Off Ted

The workplace comedy about Veridian Dynamics, the company that can make anything, whether it’s a good idea or not.

It was on a major network, but the timeslot kept abruptly changing and the final two episodes were preempted by a live sports event, and never even aired in the US.

Veronica: Ted, we need a mouse that can withstand temperatures of up to 300(?) degrees.

Ted: Live mouse or computer mouse?

Veronica: …I’ll get back to you.

An attempt at creating an artificial meat:

Jerome: It tastes familiar…

Ted: Beef?

Jerome: No…

Linda: Chicken? We’ll take chicken.

Jerome: [Shakes head.]

Ted: What does it taste like?

Jerome: Despair.

Ted: Is it possible it just needs salt?

The movie Castaway. This gif is sped up, which is making it more comedic looking then it was intended.

This is not how you spell tequila or ethanol.

My job here is done. Spellmaster away! flies off

The number of people who are “knitting” in a movie or on TV…maybe 40% of them are actually doing it, and that’s a high estimate (shout out to Miss Marple!). The rest appear to be wrapping yarn around one of the needles and then moving it vigorously, lol.

That’s not how you spell lettuce.

This is what I’ve said since I learned of this experiment. I’m only waiting for the second marshmallow if BOTH of the following statements are true:

1. I want two marshmallows.

2. I trust the adult to keep his word.

Maybe if he came straight at it, his people would object. If he was going to do that, it probably would’ve been after the assassination attempt. So it feels highly unlikely. But he’s got some options.

Option 1: “Folks, we need you to donate your guns to the police. They’re so underfunded/under attack, they need as much help as they can get.” And I bet a lot of people would do it. Now, would it be ALL the guns they own? Probably not. But they’d be giving them up voluntarily.

Option 2: He targets a specific group that conservatives hate, and claims he’ll only take guns from them. “We’re only going to take the guns from the ____________ (illegals/terrorists/minorities/atheists/jews/liberals), not you good folks.” The cops proceed to confiscate (steal) them from anyone they happen across, including people who voted for Trump.

I agree, but how do I find that special doctor? My bf’s insurance is shit. Every visit to a new doctor costs at least $200. We can’t just trial and error this until we find a good one. He’s likely to run out of money first.

This is why I posted. In hopes of getting some direction toward that doctor without a lot of money going down the drain.

Nope. Yawns are only covered if at work, or somewhere with a fancy dress code. Definitely not when alone.

Stone is a common British weight measuring unit, and this is a bbc article, so… That’s why that happened.

This is actually highly dependent on the state you’re in. Not all states keep the plate with the person. Some keep the plate with the car. FYI.

I read books. Always fiction. If I want to escape humans (almost) entirely, fantasy books.

If you want something light, usually fun, and almost guaranteed to end happily, there’s supernatural romance.
