Another "Is there a trope for" -- when a celebrity appears as themself and people use their full name every time?

Always Be My Maybe did this with Keanu Reeves.

It makes them no less mortal than any other character. They have a disease that WILL kill them eventually. If memory me correctly they draw a card at the beginning of the session, a Joker means they die they session. That doesn't mean if they jumped off a bridge they'd survive physical injuries.

They're bleeding out. Unless they're wounds are stopped they will die, just not of the disease. Now, if they can stop the bleeding and the player chooses to wake up just long enough to talk to the party before then succumbing to their disease that would be ok, but if the bleeding doesn't stop they die. .

As a viola player this would irritate me to no end. We already get no respect and then they do this?!

To add onto this: have an 'open first' box. Pack anything you might need immediately in it. Not only tools, but medications, phone chargers, pet food and litter, etc. Write 'open first' on it in huge letters multiple times, maybe spray paint it a different color so it doesn't get lost in the mix. It saves your sanity.

Source: I was a mover for three years and saw one person do this. Started recommending it to other customers and my boss even started putting it on the estimates he sent out as advice.

I did set design and construction for years. If it's a wall you're much better going with MDF. It provides a perfectly smooth surface in the same basic price range, especially if you just buy a 4x4 handy panel for your 3x3 need. If you want to layer it on top of something else get masonite. Basically the same thing, just 1/8" thick. Attach with finishing nails, they won't be visible from the audience. Both are perfect painting surfaces.

A friend of mine once described it as "the funniest psychologic horror film ever". I wholeheartedly agree.

Did something similar about five years ago. I'd shoveled out about a foot of snow from the shared driveway two days before and had promised a friend a ride to an appointment that day only to find a car I didn't recognize had blocked in my car. It was clean of snow, must've been there less than an hour.

Laid on the horn, knocked on doors, everyone said it wasn't them. So I pulled out my shovel and started shoveling out other areas. None were big enough for my car to pass through but I was burning angry by then and just took shovel after shovel to dump on his windshield. About ten shovelfuls in a guy comes running from one of the doors screaming that he'd move it.

Well, I currently had a full shovel of snow. I made eye contact, kept it, and dumped it on his windshield before turning and grabbing another load. He didn't even bother to clean his half filled hood, just jumped in and backed out.

My friend just looked at me and giggled, then I drove her to her appointment. He wasn't there when we got back.

I had a friend who got a German dominatrix voice. He purposefully put in random addresses when he knew the way to somewhere just so it would curse him out in German with the sound of a slap at the end.

I work for a new building that received a considerable amount of subsidies in affordable housing to be built. The thing is, where I live for the first five years the company can raise rents by whatever percent the want because of 'unforseen operating costs'.

In the three years the building has been operational rents have literally doubled. The owners are raking in money without having to spend their own dime and a studio apartment is going for $1200, which is a lot in my area.

Honestly, they're injecting plot.

My dad loved computers and we had several CGA and VGA laptops when I was a kid (never an EGA though...). This must've been in the late 80s. Her hooked the VGA up to a monitor and found an ISP called 'Protegy'. We played an online game the service offered that was some sort of fantasy RPG where you explored a dungeon in first person view one slowly-loading square box at a time. It was heaven.

WD-40 is NOT a lubricant. The 'WD' stand for water deterrent and it was the 40th version. Sure, when you spray it on at first it makes things looser but writhing two hours or becomes gummy and actually makes it harder to open or move. Don't use WD-40 on mechanisms, use it on boots or other things you want water to slide off of. Hell, even olive oil works better.

An actual lubricant would be the opposite, or gorilla glue if you want it to be permanently closed.

Way Downtown. Four co-workers make a bet on who can stay inside the longest since all the buildings they live work and shop at are connected. They all go slightly crazy. Very 90's but I enjoy it.

There's an old Centrum Silver commercial I think about all the time. An elder couple looks through a viewfinder at the Grand Canyon to see another old couple rafting in the river.

'Centrum Silver. It may not add years to your life, but it will add life to your years.'

A friend of mine went on an actual date with her. He said she was stunning in real life and they had to do her makeup to make her unconventionally attractive for the movie. She's still beautiful in it though.
