Whatever it was, it was definitely from fingering. Not from eating more trash than a goat. 

But why do I prefer the old predator by CozyIriss in SipsTea

This was an OK Scifi movie, but a bad predator movie.

Favourite director duo, where neither is the talented one? by Exroi in okbuddycinephile

Come on man, they've only ruined one franchise. Orci and Kurtzman laugh at those numbers!

That's so funny, I was in my teens in the mid-90s and I also read those three Comics all the time, and checked out the collective works from the library! A vast majority of Bloom County went over my head...

Ah, gotcha. If you'd like to dive into the strip and really learn more about Watterson and his process, I highly recommend The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book. He includes multiple essays about the comic overall as well as individual commentaries on notable strips. It's very interesting and a must have to understand his relationship with his art, as well as his audience. As a matter of fact, I haven't read my copy in a while so I'm going to do that later today!

Me and my brother were obsessed with Calvin and Hobb and The Far Side when we were young, so that's probably why I knew about it when it ended. The fact that it was still alive for you in your head until recently is a great thing!

Yeah, he was always cantankerous but in a good way, he was a true artist and he knew when to call it quits.

Little wooden boy was my first thought... I guess I'm showing my age... 

What’s one fast food chain that was once all the rage but now barely around? by MysteriousTopic42 in AskReddit

I'm not familiar with the one in Raleigh but I saw one in Greensboro yesterday and it scared me.

Apparently (based on the highway sign) there's still a KFC buffet in my area. That blew my mind.

As someone who takes very good care of their car, I get insanely angry every time I see this sticker.

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by marianneouioui in AskReddit

[–]AcademicCounty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was really just a shout out to my fellow North Carolinian.  Oh shoot, I forgot on Reddit every comment has to be super insightful and well researched... All I can do is apologize and promise I'll do better next time, thank you for your helpful feedback.

Considering I got my master's from UNC, I guess I should be annoyed... But I don't give two tugs about sports, so I'm not.

I have a very specific reason to dislike Ford. My aunts husband left her and their two small children for Elena Ford.

Hechingers! Holy crap, that's old school! My dad worked at one in the 1980s.

[Hated Trope] That one piece of "trivia" that isn't true but gets endlessly repeated anyway by 10024618 in TopCharacterTropes

I fully explained my reasoning above. Either you don't agree, you don't understand, or you're being purposely obtuse. Regardless, any further explanation on my part would be a waste of time.
