It is a better movie than Three Men and a Little Lady.

in another example of "live your life so that" Live your life so that when you die, people remember that time you told an asshole to shut the fuck up, and not so that when you die, everyone recounts the story of that time a hero told you to shut the fuck up.

I think I have the objectively worst movie in my story than anyone's, but my experience seeing it with friends was an experience full of love and camaraderie that I'll never forget.

You can’t “pin” a post like on the old bird site so new followers, I maybe said something interesting to catch your attention but my goal was to use social media to talk about Magic The Gathering.

You can put Trump into old Calvin and Hobbes comics and change zero dialogue and it works

I think that’s the core lesson imparted by doing the rituals and routines so early. Catholic converts didn’t internalize the magic words while they crawled under the pews to flip the kneeling bench back and forth as toddlers, and it shows. They have a very different relationship to the Church.

"Well, I woke up Sunday mornin' With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad So I had one more for dessert Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes And found my cleanest dirty shirt" Jesus CHRIST. Imagine being able to write that.

Elvish supposed to be an elegant, lilting language, but hoo-boy “Celebrimbor” does not roll off the tongue. They say “read your writing out loud” and I wonder whether JRR did, here. (Though I also don’t think he ever meant him to be anything but a historical background character).
