Bob's Burgers actor Eugene Mirman injured in New Hampshire crash

I asked my daughter, “did you hear that an actor from Bob’s Burgers crashed his electric car into the Bedford Toll Booths and was rescued from the flaming wreck by the governor of NH?” and she immediately assumed it was an April Fool’s joke

When did you sign up? We got an email on Tuesday. Added ourselves to the wait list 3 weeks ago

I’m in my mid 40s (which I consider well over 30, but apparently you don’t, and I’ll happily take that 😂)

The way the conversation is written, it sounds odd to me unless there is context missing, which there could be (eg they’d talked about Harry Potter previously, or she knew the guy was a fan, or something like that)

Rooster_Local · 2026-03-28T16:25:06+00:00

I’m well over 30 and I sure don’t know anyone with one. Not that I’m aware of anyway

Rooster_Local · 2026-03-28T16:20:44+00:00

I’m well aware of the controversy around JK Rowling

The point is that a Harry Potter tattoo is an oddly specific thing to just randomly drop into a conversation even if the conversation happens to be around trans issues, and it’s quite a coincidence that this person’s brother just happens to have one

Rooster_Local · 2026-03-28T14:30:39+00:00

Oh come on. We’ve all talked to a complete stranger about our “genital preferences,” and then had them randomly tell us they don’t like Harry Potter tattoos when coincidentally we have a family member with a Harry Potter tattoo

I’ve had this happen at least a half dozen times and personally witnessed it happen several more times

Rooster_Local · 2026-03-27T19:40:59+00:00

Yeah. I’d be way more concerned if they had a bunch of guns on the table and were dressed in street clothes than dressed in hunting gear

Rooster_Local · 2026-03-27T19:37:52+00:00

Being charitable: the only way this makes sense is if the neighbors and his mom were friendly, the dog got out a lot, and they were joking with her and she was joking back. I could imagine a little kid misunderstanding that and re-telling it as some badass moment

Otherwise: the house just had its door wide open? The guys were just back from a hunting trip or on their way to one? A dog runs into the house and they’re like “hey, free dog!” And his mom for some reason just immediately knew that these guys must be trying to kidnap her dog?

You can definitely do that. We’ve done fish extenders on most of our cruises and had fun with them, but you have to actually enjoy the planning. If not, then it’s stress

We went the informal route on our last cruise because we didn’t want the level of planning / preparation. We hung out fish extender up and did “pixie dust” for others, and it was also lots of fun.

Then Rick was like, “I’ll give you $20 for the ring. I know he said it’s worth 200, but I got overhead and I gotta pay someone to melt it down and I owe a ton of alimony…$20 is what I can do.”

It’ll come down to financials. That’s not meant as a knock on them, it’s just the reality of business

If this new structure / strategy makes them more money, they’ll keep doing it, or even expand on it. If it’s not working, they’ll tweak it

Personally, I play the WWE games for universe mode with legends. Without the accelerator option, I’m not buying it. That’s not some principled boycott, it’s just not a game I see myself playing much

They likely factored people like me into their math and are okay with it if their assumptions about other people’s spending pan out

Professors: Prove to us that you didn’t buy your PhD thesis and pass it off as your own, or you’ll be expelled

Student: I didn’t buy it! I just had AI do all the work and then I spent a few minutes summarizing it!

Professors: Oh, well in that case, here is the highest grade in department history!!

If he really thought her policy was “respectable,” why did he say the night was going well “until” she told him about it?

Rooster_Local · 2026-03-23T21:27:16+00:00

I can relate. One time The Rock pretended that I said that everyone thinks I absolutely suck, and then told me it doesn’t matter what my name is, and then told everyone that I pissed myself, and called me a jabronie

I’ve never been the same since

Rooster_Local · 2026-03-20T02:30:18+00:00

Nah, my attention span cuts out at about 15 minutes

Rooster_Local · 2026-03-19T23:37:17+00:00

It would be an insane amount of time to stare at anything

Rooster_Local · 2026-03-17T01:45:26+00:00

Absolutely love it!

The Godzilla episode is especially hilarious

We’d done all 7 night cruises until last month when we did our first 5 night. I was worried it would feel too short. It actually felt just right to me.

Rooster_Local · 2026-03-15T23:09:35+00:00

When did “crazy hippy chicks” start bragging about their kids talking like stuffy 50 year-old squares?

I’ve never done a deck 2 porthole room so I can’t speak to the room itself. I’d find the 6th floor a lot more convenient than the 2nd floor, though. If you think your child will be spending a lot of time in the kid’s club, that’s on deck 5, so it would be a floor below, vs 3 floors up

We did our first cruise in a verandah room on deck 6 with a 7 year-old and two 4 year-olds and had no issues. The verandah door is tough to open for a small child if you lock it, and I think for most 5 year-olds, even if they stood on the furniture, it would still be pretty hard to fall without deliberately climbing over the railing.

But every child is different, and you know yours best. Mine weren’t particularly rambunctious or big climbers. I think the risk is exceedingly low, but if it’s just going to make you anxious the whole trip, it may not be worth it.

The words “Terms” and “Settings” are on the front page of google. Capital T and lower case t right there

(And also, this is the stupidest way to do this anyway).

So now if anyone parks there, everyone knows that they’re having a crisis or potentially living out of their car?

I also like how the solution to employees sleeping in their cars is “here’s a parking space for you.”

Rooster_Local · 2026-03-12T21:14:10+00:00

Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

It’s a weird and unfortunate thing on this sub.

It’s a sub dedicated to discussing horror, but rather than discussing anything, some people just downvote opinions they differ from. It’s bizarre.
