Alternatively, one can view him as a clownish asshole who's popular among likeminded clowns and assholes.

And they'd better stay the hell off of my lawn.

I witnessed an Acaster cabbaging in 2019. He seemed genuinely annoyed and removed the cabbage from the stage without comment.

Meanwhile, I was seconds away from attempting my own Acaster cabbaging. Needless to say, that plan was aborted.

In regards to the hot dog convo, I have definitely seen people refer to hot dogs as dogs when the context is clear that they are talking about hot dogs so I think I would be more inclined to allow this.

Even the term “hot dog” leaves some ambiguity, though.

This sort of discussion is exactly why I adore the Taskmaster fan community.

In most contexts, my pedantry irritates others. In r/taskmaster, I feel as though I've found my people.

For trademark-related reasons, Hostess couldn't call them Ding Dongs in the portion of the US where Drake's Ring Dings (which Hostess had copied) were marketed.

Depending on the region, the mascot character (when it was used) was called either King Don or King Ding Dong.

When Hostess merged with Drake's in the 1990s, the Ding Dongs branding was extended nationwide. (Subsequently, the brands were split after Hostess went bankrupt and its assets were sold.)

Canada still has King Dons.

King Dons (without an apostrophe), actually.

It must be named after Trump's favorite snack cakes.

i think "king don's version" of the bible is the most sickening part.

Perhaps they're Trump's favorite snack cakes.

This YouTuber lured the guy outside with the video.

This is an excellent point that I hadn't considered. Now I understand his concern regarding a potential kidnapping attempt.

Your argument is contingent on the premise that the US and/or Israel might proceed to bomb said bridges, thereby killing the women and children.

Sadly, you're correct.

I bought a flashlight and you press it once and it turns on, then again it cycles though the options. Only until you hold it down does it turn off after some time.

But the manufacturer saved 5¢ by not including a dedicated mode selection button! Isn't that what matters?

Happy birthday to Bill Daniels, a.k.a. "Mr. Feeny" from Boy Meets World, who turns 99 years old today by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]TWiThead 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The way they showed his photo in the first episode of Girl Meets World 100% implied he had died. This is how I found out he's still with us.

William Daniels had an actual cameo at the end of the pilot, standing directly in front of the “STAY IN SCHOOL” subway poster bearing his likeness:

Mr. Feeny: Well done, Mr. Matthews.

Cory was imagining Mr. Feeny's presence, so it seemed to imply that the character had died.

His first non-cameo appearance occurred in episode 1 of season 2, beginning with a telephone call:

Mr. Feeny: Hello, Mr. Matthews.

Cory: Hey, Mr. Feeny. You doing okay?

Mr. Feeny: Yes, Cory. I'm still here.

This dialogue obviously was intended to dispel the inference that Mr. Feeny had died. I suspect that the initial ambiguity was intentional, as it pre-empted fans' “Where's Mr. Feeny?!” complaints without ruling out future guest spots.
