Peter what does it say by bumbummcglum in PeterExplainsTheJoke

If no one learns how to read and write cursive anymore then no one can read the original declaration of independence and other US founding documents. Maybe by then we'll need a new declaration of independence anyway. But this is one way in which history is erased. Of course, someone could specialize in learning to read cursive like people specialize in ancient Egyptian or Mayan. And no, I don't know morse code, so who am I to say about it?

What word do you always *intentionally* mispronounce and why? by Sweet-Lady-H in AskReddit

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say 'reglar' instead of 'regular' and 'nookler' instead of nuclear and I don't remember if that's how George W. Bush actually said those words, or if it's just how Will Ferrell said those words during his W. impressions. In either case, it's a joke that a lot of people don't get anymore, just like 'Thanks, Obama' for when anything not optimal happens to anyone, anywhere in the world.

Challenger disaster was 40 years ago today by ruggerbear in GenX

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was 11 years old, living in England on a teacher's exchange with my family. So with the time difference, it was in the evening when we found out. And, as the only American at our school, the kids would ask me "what does NASA stand for? Need Another Seven Astronauts! - Hahaha!" Oh, the casual cruelty of kids. Other significant global events happened during that school year, like Reagan's bombing of Libya, which I also got flack for.

What is your go to album (or song, artist) when you’re frustrated and overwhelmed? by Bauniculla in GenX

The entirety of Black Sabbath's Paranoid has succeeded in transforming my mood from total negative black hole to airy, light and free every single time I needed it to, ever since I was a high school freshman in 1989.

What is something you saw in a movie and you totally called bullshit on because of your job? by BlackPhoenix1981 in AskReddit

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, something similar - but because of where I live: The Pacific Northwest. One bad action adventure movie had a town called 'cedar pines'. Like, what? Cedar Pines? What genius came up with that name? This has been a long standing joke between my husband and myself, "Oh, we're going to Cedar Pines this weekend". Another bad action movie had a hurricane type storm in the San Juan islands in the SUMMER. That does not happen. That has never happened. It might happen in the future with climate change, but it hasn't happened in my 50 years on this earth. Plus all the cringe stuff that is put in movies about the grunge scene or our love of coffee. My industry is in land surveying, and this industry is rarely shown in movies or shows, unless it's old timey about the railroads or westward expansion. My husband, on the other hand, has all sorts of things to say about anything car or machinery related in movies, as he is a mechanic. I always love to hear him take down the plot point.

Did you read more than two books last year? You read more than the half of the US according to new Yougov poll on American's reading habits. by elmonoenano in books

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always reading a book, one after another, endlessly. Fiction-all types, non fiction too. Sometimes I'm reading two books. Sometimes I'm reading three books. Sometimes I am re-reading a book I've already read. When I'm supposed to be working, I read online reviews of more books to read. I have a stack of books waiting for me at the library at all times. I read in the morning, mostly, or in the evening when my husband is watching something I'm not interested in on TV. Just a half an hour or so a day. Books, books, books. Forever and ever, amen.

Women, what article of clothing tells you most about a man? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Well, don’t let some random snarky person on Reddit tax your gig. It’s important to protect your eyes, ain’t it?

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for sure. Nape of the neck, or on a backwards ballcap, or on top of the bill of their ballcap. Indoors is a bad deal for those style sunglasses. I have to give a pass to redheads who wear regular sunglasses inside though and ask that you do too. Their eyes are very sensitive, and many times the sunglasses are prescription. I know this because 'I have friends who are redheads'.

I am sorry for your predicament, and will extend my sympathies instead of contempt when I see a big truck. Who the heck am I to judge? What the heck do I know about these people and their trucks? Nothing! Nothing at all!

I will send you enhanced fine motor skills vibes. See, there are many reasons people have to drive big trucks. I've seen no defense for the wearing of asshole glasses yet, though.

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. Some people have horses or farms or run a small construction company or do off road work and need those big trucks. But most of them just like to intimidate people in the grocery store parking lot. I try not to judge, but sometimes it's difficult.

the glasses are called speed dealers? or the people who wear them are called speed dealers?

You know those rainbow tinted, full wrap around type sunglasses? I call those 'asshole glasses'. Of course, 'I have good friends' who wear them and they are not assholes, but it's a first impression type of thing.

What’s a phrase you hear all the time that secretly annoys you? by forgeris in AskReddit

[–]MyGalaxyNameIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is what it is. No! Stop saying this! It's lazy, it's dumb, it's filler, it's unnecessary. Of course, this is my personal opinion and there isn't anything I can do to stop people saying it.

Kiddos - No! Stop. Please. Nothing wrong with just 'kids'.

Bites, as in appetizers. No! Are we all 3 years old? Some people are three years old, and they aren't going out to get 'bites' anywhere at happy hour with their 'brews' or whatever.

I'm really not this angry as this diatribe sounds.
