BANG! That's funny shit right there.

Kyle

Anyone else?

Edit: New thread started here for unrelated/adjacent convo about my friend in prison.

Kyle

So I have this friend who's serving 25 years in prison. He's just finished his first year. He's middle aged (46?) and a total nerd, but he's made himself valuable in prison because: (1) he's a maker, and can pretty much produce anything out of anything; and (2) I sent him a bunch of Pathfinder core ...

Yes! More points for me!

Welcome to Season 1, Episode 28 of the long-running and very famous thread idea called: Guess the Garfield Punchline. MAIN GAME: Here's how it works. I'll post a Garfield strip with the punchline missing. Everyone try to guess what it is. One guess per person. Whoever is closest wins a point. If no ...

You're all kind of close! Points for just me!

The U.S. House is so pro-Israel that they just passed house bill 6090 which defines anti-Semitism to include any criticism of Israel's government. Thus, publicly disagreeing with Israel's actions would now legally be hate speech. Allowing hate speech is grounds for withdrawal of federal funding... ...

I'm going to give Eli the point for being closest. Mike gets a bonus point for what the typical Garfield punchline should have been, but wasn't.

Tahlvin's closest and Mike's is funniest! But you know what? POINTS FOR EVERYONE!

An interesting article I read in the Washington Post this morning: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/04/29/campus-arrests-freedom-speech-dc-police/ While other police forces are providing highlight reels of enforcers marching on university quads in riot gear (from California to New York, ...

Holy cow. I made split pea soup with ham hocks in my instant pot and split it into four lunches to eat through the week. I just ate the first one. Oh. My. God. Not only is this healthy (lots of fiber and veggies; low fat ham), it is the single greatest tasting thing I've ever made. Now hear me out: ...

Students (both high school and college) are supposed to protest. I hope they protest. When you make rules on the "right" and "wrong" ways to protest, you're missing the whole point of protesting. Shut down roads. Shut down schools. DISRUPT. That's the point of a protest. It's not...

Kyle

Yeah- and after she shot the puppy, that wasn’t enough to slake her thirst for blood that she had to go grab the goat? I read her actual text and it was disturbing.

Kyle

We had a hail storm last week. Jen took a video of it (with my cussing in the background saying, "No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop.") and the next morning we woke up to people messaging us and saying the Today show was showing our video- with the audio muted. How come I only make it on nationa...

Our Share of Night - Mariana Enríquez; translated by Megan McDowell. My favorite book so far this year by a long shot, but it's a weird one. The basic premise is a generational story, set in Argentina, about a family of sorcerers that worship a Lovecraftian god. But it's less about that and more ab...

Yeah- dark meat is definitely better, but the American consumer by far prefers chicken breast. My wife won't eat dark meat. But I also know from my kids that work at grocery stores, that they have trouble selling the dark meat because of the overwhelming popularity of chicken breast. Which is why wh...

I try to judge how correct my answers are by how well they match the expressions. In this case, I was sure I was off, because Garfield looked amused. The only way he's amused is if Jon has humiliated himself. But in context, that expression says, "Good one, bro." Because bonding over miso...

Kyle

Mike nails it! And what a good memory. The only reason I included this is because I thought the punchline didn't make sense.

Kyle

So Facebook now has an AI that lets you create images. I was screwing around with it for an hour this morning to try to come up with some surreal images. It was pretty fun, but as I got done, I realized that even though I don't know where I'm going with these pictures as I'm fine-tuning them, when I...

Kyle

Fucking ridiculous. So now if you’re critical of Israel killing Gazans, then you’re a safety risk and not allowed to exercise your first amendment rights. Fucking bullshit.

Kyle

Yeah- I do the same thing. I say "LAHT-in" with a de-emphasized "t". But the phenomenon I'm talking about puts a full stop of breath in the middle "Lah. [slight pause]. In."

Kyle

I was talking with another lawyer in my office and we realized that, while we are both Gen-X, we're outnumbered by Millennials three-fold. We have a bunch of young lawyers. How much do you buy into generational differences? While I tend to think they're horseshit, there is something to the fact that...

Kyle

I forgot to post up at the end (because it was the end). I did great! I stuck to it and lost 9 pounds! Now I'm eating reasonably and on a good track to eating healthier!

Kyle

TAY-Luhr And on this dropping of t's in the middle of words- it's all over Youtube. I'm really wondering where it originated. Also, I learned a couple of weeks ago that in parts of Pennsylvania they say "Yinz" as a form of "You all." I like that. I use "y'all" all the t...

Interesting side note, I was watching a youtube video earlier this week that talked about weird Texas accents and one of the accents was the "Hill Country" accent (I live in the Texas Hill Country northwest of Austin). It pointed out that these weirdos pronounce the end of days as "de...

Kyle

Is one Tay-lur, and one Tay-lore? No- they insist that one is Tay-eh-lore and the other is Tay-lore. Honestly, at this point I just say it the same way twice (Tay-lore) just to fuck with them, and then they go bat shit convinced I said it two ways. Edit: Now that I think about it, with my Texas acc...

How dark is this? And it shows the cultural shift on mental health and suicide. Back in 1988, this was considered safe, "soft" humor. I don't think it would be received as well today.

Kyle

No one was close, but Mike gets the funniest post.

Kyle

Yeah- we have an ongoing bit in our house where my kids insist that "tailor" and "Taylor" (as in Swift) are pronounced completely differently. I can't hear it. But they are adamant.

Kyle

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed to CNN that it carried out a strike on Al-Maghazi refugee camp in Gaza on Tuesday — which killed 14 people, including eight children. The IDF said it is unaware of the number of casualties. The Israeli military’s response came 48 hours after CNN first reached out...

Also- all of my kids say "clothes" with a very audible "th" sound, and I pronounce it "close" (as in "close the door"). We constantly argue about who sounds stupider.

Kyle

Other ones I heard in my audiobook this morning:

gotten
forgotten
smitten
important

And now that I think about it, this is the same narrator that's read three books this year that I've listened to on audible. That might be influencing my perception of its prevalence.
