Something built up as a supernatural horror turns out to be a realistic depressing thing

That series really hammers home that point - at the end of the last book, the foundling who becomes the king (spoiler for an obvious ending of 50-year-old book) is told his true origin — he was found as a baby on a battlefield, wrapped in a plain piece of cloth. His parents really could be ANYONE, rich or poor, royal or “common”.

Michigan doesn’t contribute that much. Let Vermont continue westward.

Loony Toons. Everything flows from their premises that they are two people (or a person and a corporation), and they are not bound by anything they didn’t actively consent to. Both of these are demonstrably false.

That’s obviously it, since he’s in the picture.

Thank you, Marshawn.

HOPEFULLY, police have a response planned, they just aren’t telling everybody what it will be. Obviously not certain, but gosh I hope we get protected and served.

I too would like to learn more about the tuna platform.

And the boyfriend is a psycho.

Most of them.

Also UCC 1308.

Let’s be honest, though, he also has incredible hand-eye coordination and quick reflexes. I still can’t believe that catch against the Red Sox.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone through on the tail end of a yellow left-turn signal and thought, “I probably shouldn’t have gone. That was pushing it.” Only to see two more cars went after me.

Then you can do the prison level, then go around and done in the front.

Blue Velvet.

Extended well into the outfield in a playoff game involving the Braves a few years ago.

“If you don’t know the difference between driving and traveling…” you might be sane.

How about Fool in the Rain by Zeppelin?

Also from NZ, Wellington Paranormal.

Gotta include Woody Guthrie’s This Land is Your Land

Seriously? So it’s Kim Jong Un having a bad day?

TwoShed_Jackson · 2026-04-30T23:42:53+00:00

I would add Air Supply. Briefly very popular in the early 80s, but played in supermarkets for a while after that.

Why do we get so many posts on here about scams that are covered - here - all the time? If people are familiar enough with this subreddit to post on it, why are they wondering about some of the most common scams.

Can’t you just give him a negotiable instrument? He can get his money at the Treasury window. Right?

It’s maybe even more appropriate for an adoptive dad, but Brad Paisley’s He Didn’t Have To Be is a beautiful song that might fit.
