If the spring breaks and all the tension in them is released and it unwinds all of a sudden, the whipping metal wire will chop your skull in half and make a big mess.

It’s just a slur. It doesn’t really have any great meaning. It’s kind of like calling somebody a shithead. Do they really have shit on their head, or is it really made out of shit? Probably not, but that’s not the important part of the message. The important part is the accusation, and that’s about all it means. Like the word woke, it doesn’t really mean anything, but everybody who uses it as an accusation is pretty sure what they mean by it. Everybody who would call a black person a jiggaboo (or cleverly cloak it in “peekaboo”) is the same. It has no meaning, but they all agree on what it means to them.

I remember looking at this box every time we went to the movie rental place.

Seems like they’re always looking straight out of the screen, just looking dead at you all the time. I hate it when people do that in real life.

It's so good. It's mostly just little happy musical chords that are inserted into the dialog. The tones give Rocky a great depth of character.

I feel like the version we had definitely had its name printed as Birdo and not Ostro. I have always called that thing Birdo.

The author of this comic strip came to our house one time when I was little. He was visiting some family at Pickwick Lake (I think) and somehow came over to our house with some of my stepmom's friends. I absolutely couldn't believe it that somebody famous was there with us at our house. He seemed like a really nice person and he left a couple of doodles of our dogs and an autograph for me and my brother.

Orange Vanilla Mio mixed with Key Lime LaCroix is a great drink. I feel like I almost got to where I was spending as much on that as I used to spend on beer and had to cut back on it too, but I don't mind it when I do!
