The show was “Zombie House Renovations” in case anyone was curious.

Trying to make her a zombie for the show, what's the issue?

I'm guessing he had some other issues aside from that.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably some loose floorboards and bad sheathing.

And no hurricane clips. That one works as a mental health analogy, too.

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

I suppose if you know what hurricane clips are.

Sorry, while part of my state deals with hurricanes, I am VERY inland.

Now tornadoes? Yeah, when the sky turns green its time to go outside and meet your neighbors.

Wow. That is crazy. Glad he is guilty.

[–] HerbalGamer@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Glad he is guilty.

you're glad he did it or just that he was convicted?

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Nothing like a little domestic homicide to perk up your friday

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

I think you mean, "Glad he was found guilty." I don't think you are glad he is guilty of killing someone.

And we thought the "dinner is pizza" ad was stupid.

The guy who got pissed at his wife for getting pizza for dinner. Any normal person would be like "hell yeah, pizza!"
