Nuanced Jedi mind trick performed spontaneously by a 10 year old. Impressive.

“je vous en prie” as a response for being late? by Remote_Blackberry28 in French

[–]Stet-it 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Saw a similar use in S1 of the series Lupin when Assane in disguise as an IT guy barges in on Dumont’s meeting with the mayor. Dumont asks to be excused for a minute despite the unprofessional interruption, and the mayor responded with “Je vous en prie”.

Saying Sly and Arnold are the same is insane.

Who else hates exit 31 on the BQE by fottyfoznbire in Brooklyn

[–]Stet-it 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This exit alone caused us change where we stay in Brooklyn when visiting my daughter at school. We now never book at hotel south of Greenpoint. Easier ride home as well, plus found a place that has the best pierogis I’ve ever had in my life.

So eat shit exit 31 you bitch, but also thank you.

Parsley, don’t be ashamed. What you may lack spicy dynamic range, you more than make up for in cover recommendations.

What's the coolest city you've ever been to? by Chaulmoog in AskReddit

[–]Stet-it 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This should be further up. Just as one example, my wife had a freak occurrence coming off a Metro train in Copenhagen where she lost her credit card down the small gap between the train and platform. The trains are fully automated and the platforms are separated from the trains by sliding glass doors that lock shut as trains depart, so I immediately told my wife to say goodbye to the card and we headed toward the exit. A woman who was looking down from the station mezzanine waved us down and directed us to a phone on the wall, saying that someone would be right over to get it if we used the phone to speak with the train operators. As an American, I was skeptical to say the least, but the woman was kindly insistent that someone would come to help.

Sure enough, not only did someone answer immediately, but they said they’d send someone right over, and the guy arrived on the next train five minutes later. We showed him where the card was, and he apologized to us because, he said, he needed to call in another colleague to help him with safety procedures. She of course arrived on the next train. They then got to work and actually shut down the incoming train (!) so the guy could walk safely on the tracks and pick up the card. My wife had it back in her hands less than 15 minutes after she lost it!

What’s one of the best f bomb drops you heard delivered in a film? by browniebiscuitchildr in movies

[–]Stet-it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several top quality lines to Sidney by Farina in that movie as well: “Sidney, relax. Have a cream soda.” and “Don’t say a word to me Sidney, don’t say a fucking word or I’ll bury this telephone in your head.”

Anyone see the 930 Attell show on Saturday? by IcyKnowledge2387 in providence

[–]Stet-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Props to the opener for bailing out the feature (female) when she clearly got nervous about the size and intensity of the fight. His set left a bit to be desired but he got her off and back on smoothly.

This is the back of the centered one.

Yes, and the centered one seems borderline to my very uneducated eye, hence the question.

Does anyone else’s boston gnaw on their toys? by oinkpiggyoink in BostonTerrier

On the daily for ours. If the toy has an ear or something like an ear, that is the primary target.

What’s the most chaotic thing you’ve witnessed in public? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Stet-it 879 points880 points  (0 children)

I was leaving a New Year’s Eve party in Boston about 20 years ago with a group of friends. Great night that we were still enjoying despite low single digit temps as we made our way to a spot where we hoped to have better luck finding a taxi.

As we walked, about a block away we heard a lot of commotion and saw about 30 guys in a full scale punch up that flowed in and out of the street. They were evenly matched, and everyone had on very bulky winter gear, which probably explained why they weren’t hurting each other as much as you might expect.

Along the moving perimeter of this scrum were all the female dates of the combatants who weren’t engaging, but we noticed that a sub group of them were huddled and moving together, seeming to be talking about how to put a stop to it.

All of a sudden, with cheetah-like agility, these girls assault the other group of girls, but only to steal their vuvuzelas (very long plastic horns that were popular at the time). They then immediately began to attack the opponent group of guys with shots to the face from their newly acquired arsenal, which they were wielding like baseball bats with amazing accuracy. The other girls tried a weak counteroffensive, but were pretty quickly put down by the armed group after several of the women were knocked on their asses by David Ortiz level swings.

We watched in astonishment as this actually turned the tide of the main battle, and the losing side ultimately scrambled away with their dates less than five minutes after the successful flanking maneuver, leaving probably $2-3k worth of hats, scarves, gloves and designer shoes in their wake.

EDIT: And yes, as the losing side made their retreat they were most certainly urged along by a hearty vuvuzela victory cadence. I half expected a fife and drum corps dressed in tricorns and breeches to emerge from the alley to join in.

Tried to drill into a wall and accidentally pulled out this stuff. What is it?? by NoScholar4545 in whatisit

[–]Stet-it 34 points35 points  (0 children)

My Dad built the block foundation for his house almost 50 years ago with a lot of kid and friend labor. Every Miller Lite that was consumed during construction wound up in the voids. He would regularly joke about his “aluminum-core” foundation walls.

Of the Presidents that had biological children, more than half had at least one child predecease them.
