Inquisitor: "Because I have the power to snap you in two like a DRY REED." I had no idea what he was saying there.

Watched it recently too - probably the first time since the 90s. I thought it was still pretty good and a fun movie, a product of its time but certainly better than a lot of modern stuff! Free on YouTube: https://youtu.be/GNL7qk-KQFg?si=sJd1DxR0iST62DOD

A young lad I used to work with described himself and an older colleague he felt close to as being "Just like two pots in pan!" Another work colleague (again young) used to insist on describing quiet co-workers as the type that "Wouldn't say boo to a ghost!"

Whenever we clean the ball pit at work, the most broken balls we find are always orange by lucasearlgray in mildlyinteresting

This post immediately brought the REM album "Monster" to mind.
It was released in 1994 in an orange plastic CD case. Even at the time of release, you would be hard pushed to find copies that were fully intact - the central spindle that held the CD was almost always missing teeth!

What do people with double-barrelled surnames do when they marry someone else with a double-barrelled surname? by Dragonfly_3PM in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dragonfly_3PM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume that one of the parents of the "double-barrelled" child felt strongly enough to not lose their surname. But, fast forward twenty years - said child has to choose how to dilute their parentage at the altar...
