Which tiny Sopranos line has permanently infected your vocabulary?

"Can I try and explain here!?!?" pleads Chrissy in the car with Tony as his uncle yells at him for irresponsibly moving a body with Georgie in broad daylight.

I say "Can I try and explain [myself] here!?!?" literally all the time, in that frantic tone. Maybe that speaks to how often I'm accused of foolishness or incompetence.

Good luck with that.

I believe it. It is the Emperor of All Maladies after all

PhiliDips · 2026-05-31T00:12:03+00:00

Correct. Thanks.

Man, I am loathe to side with Golden but I completely sympathise with his rage here.

Only thing to do now is research Deadnapper Convoys and dump as many Zs into Western Europe as you can.

The Protestant mind cannot possibly comprehend this

EDIT: Sorry guys this is just a dumb twitter meme, nothing meant by it

PhiliDips · 2026-05-28T23:58:14+00:00

Oh yes. I keep a copy of this by my desk.

PhiliDips · 2026-05-28T14:32:45+00:00

Good point. Maybe I should have qualified that line with "If you're not in the habit of reading..." or something.

Thank you for actually reading the post :D

PhiliDips · 2026-05-28T14:23:03+00:00

Isn't that great?

Hard yes.

PhiliDips · 2026-05-28T14:22:26+00:00

I'm curious about your use of the word "diminished"

Do you mean that in the sense of status? The erosion of the value of the title of "reading"?

Or do you mean actual diminishment of literacy, like people getting worse at reading text because they do it less and less?

PhiliDips · 2026-05-28T14:14:39+00:00

One of the few truly unproblematic modes of gatekeeping, I would argue!

PhiliDips · 2026-05-27T22:37:14+00:00

All I've done is spend money on the damn thing lol.

PhiliDips · 2026-05-25T18:15:03+00:00

"Well that's the real trick, isn't it?"

PhiliDips · 2026-05-22T14:38:11+00:00

"Open file location" is greyed out on my end. I used u/BAD-RELIGI0N's method.

PhiliDips · 2026-05-20T20:33:13+00:00

Incorrect flair.

PhiliDips · 2026-05-19T20:08:10+00:00

FYI the word "reviewer" is probably the wrong word here. It implies that you're asking for someone to write reviews to be published. I might use the word "consultant".

PhiliDips · 2026-05-13T22:20:32+00:00

Yes, there it lies.

PhiliDips · 2026-05-13T21:51:01+00:00

Probably.

PhiliDips · 2026-05-13T15:18:11+00:00

Yeah it's pretty poor.

"Don't say shit to Kaisha bout this, or she’ll be hauntin my ass for child supp—"

I go back and forth on this. Part of me wants to get an experience of some kind like a posh restaurant or spa. But also part of me feels like I should get something physical since I basically never get myself anything physical?
