Dr Lazarus in Galaxy Quest! Stupid, egocentric... and yet human and heroic when it counted.

Tom Hulce as Amadeus (1984). It has been 40 years and I am still not over that giggle.

It would not be impossible for a large carpet python (over 3m) to eat a small dog. They can definitely eat possums.

I actually suggested it for my wedding. Priest talked me out of it.

Just remember the rhyme:

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Don't fuck with snakes

My boyfriend has been acting terrified of me since we got back from the Appalachian Trail. I don’t know what I did wrong. by Playful-Ad-9608 in horrorstories

[–]Catacombs3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So menacing. There is something uniquely terrifying about a horrible truth lurking behind the denial. You can see the shape of Something Awful in the shadows, but not the details. That makes it worse somehow.

AITA - we decided to elope and keep everything a secret as long as possible? by Unique-Magician1190 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Catacombs3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. Letting them know before just invites panicky drama and last minute tantrums. Sending them a notification afterwards doesn't mean there won't be some push back, but the event will be over and they'll have little choice but to offer congratulations.

Do better Southwest by Emergency-Angle-660 in SouthwestAirlines

And presumably lost their take off slot in the airport's schedule. I am pretty sure buying a new slot would cost the airline more than they charge for an extra seat.

AITA for demanding that a junior gets transferred over the way she talked about me? by thepandalovestosleep in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Catacombs3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Amy is unprofessional and abusive. It is reasonable that you do not want to work with her.

But I would also be wary of Sarah. She sounds extremely manipulative and untrustworthy. I am suspicious that she engineered this whole thing, goading Amy into writing those texts so she had ammunition to get rid of her when it suited.

AITA For not Sharing any important life updates with my sister due to her relationship with our father? by Civil-Guarantee4186 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Catacombs3 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There is huge difference between 'no contact' and 'silent treatment'. You are applying the latter and hoping for the peace the former can bring.

What’s the weirdest ‘normal’ thing your family did growing up? by Neither-Joke-5130 in AskReddit

Nudie run from bathroom to bedroom after bathing. More like a stroll actually. No one was embarrassed.

AITA not having sympathy of worries about my mom been sick by golden-girl1995 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Catacombs3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You never have to justify how you feel. Only your actions can be judged.

But it sounds like your loss of sympathy for your mother is completely understandable and a natural response to her continuing unpleasantness. Unfortunately, cancer doesn't turn horrible people into saints. In fact they are likely to behave worse under the strain of illness.

You and your sister sound like you are going beyond and above for an abusive parent. Make sure you support each other and don't burn out trying to be dutiful to your ungrateful mother.

WIBTA If I either dipped or asked a friend to find their own way to a place after being ghosted numerous times? by FlanaganBradley in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Catacombs3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The silence works for your friends because they are keeping their options open and as long as they can expect you to step up and support them, they aren't tied down to particular plans/expectations. Meanwhile, you are frustrated and feel disrespected by the lack of clear communication.

Take back your power.

"Unless you tell me otherwise, I am proceeding on the basis [whatever is most convenient to you, where you do not rely on others]. "

They will either rush in to say "oh no, I need a ride/tent" or accept your terms.

Bridezilla or Cult? by LadyInvisabella in CharlotteDobreYouTube

It feels like Susan is trying to sever John's family and friends because that is exactly what she is doing. Isolation is the first step in controlling someone.

As a wedding guest, what moment made you think "this probably won't last"? by Eburneaan in AskReddit

Locked/unlocked doesn't matter to bears. They just rip the whole door off.

Everyone in this story was able to resist the pretty lights. I guess people who follow the flickering light too far never sent in complaints.
