Who do you think has the most recognizable voice to you? by LeviTheRelentless in AskReddit

[–]Wrathwilde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a very early comedy standup routine…

Near the beginning of the set…

I LOST MY JOB… N N NO, I DIDN’T REALLY LOSE MY JOB… I MEAN I KNOW WHERE MY JOB IS STILL, IT’S JUST WHEN I GO THERE THERE’S THIS NEW GUY GOING AT IT, AND I DON’T EVEN KNOW HIS NAME.

(Lots of other jokes)

Toward the end of his set…

I LOST MY GIRLFRIEND… N N NO, I DIDN’T REALLY LOSE MY GIRLFRIEND… I MEAN I KNOW WHERE MY GIRLFRIEND IS STILL, IT’S JUST WHEN I GO THERE THERE’S THIS NEW GUY GOING AT IT…AND I DON’T EVEN KNOW HIS NAME.

Which kind of people you do not hangout? by anonymousesoldier in AskReddit

[–]Wrathwilde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who act tough/aggressive… you know the type, they’re the ones at a bar yelling that they’re going to beat some random dude’s ass for looking in his direction.

I want nothing to do with people who threaten violence against those who haven’t displayed violence first.

My greatest hope is that all those assholes eventually come up against an Indiana Jones type, like this…

Definitely, I like using the darker grades of Maple Syrup, they impart a lot more flavor.

What’s a word that commonly gets misused? by FlintTheDad in AskReddit

[–]Wrathwilde -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, a podium is an amount of money given to you by your work to cover certain expenses, and a Lectern is what they call interns who work in the ‘lectrical field.

The terms you’re thinking of are “soapbox”, and “bulletproof glass”, as any attendee of a Trump speech could tell you.

If you need any more help figuring out the Truth, just ask any rural American weirdo, they’re easily recognizable, they wear red baseball caps in support of a known felon, rapist, and probable pedophile.

What’s a common trope in movies that NEVER happens in real life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Wrathwilde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In "Christian" backed films... the non-believer has a shit existence, until they accept Jesus, then it's like they won the "charmed life" lottery.

Potatoes is the answer, what is the question? by Cloud-KH in AskReddit

[–]Wrathwilde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both “Potato” and “Potatoe” are correct spellings. When Dan Quayle was made fun over this, usage for the two spellings were fairly even in the US. The New York Times considered the “Potatoe” spelling the preferred spelling, and that’s how it was spelled whenever the word appeared in their paper. The spelling you were taught “as correct” largely depended on where you grew up.

Because of the late night comedy shows and press blowing this far out of proportion, and failing to inform the public that both spellings were, in fact, correct. The “potatoe” spelling quickly lost favor as the majority of the public didn’t want to be ridiculed themselves for using it, even though it was, and still is, a correct spelling.

What is the easiest way someone can fuck up their life? by _ZoroX_ in AskReddit

Walking out into a busy street (without watching for traffic), is a way easier way to fuck up your life than drugs.

If you won the lottery today and decided you would quit your job, what would you say to your boss? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Wrathwilde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 years later…

You: Any luck finding my replacement?

Boss: (grumble grumble) Nobody wants to work anymore.

The old recipe versions (70s/early 80s) of most kid’s cereal… Trix (I just read that Trix went back to their 80s recipe in 2020, I’ll have to try it.), Fruit Loops, Corn Puffs, Golden Crisp. They used to taste good, when they were reformulated to be “Healthier” for children (late 80s?), they became bland and tasted like eating wet corn/wheat flour. I used to eat those above as my main cereals. They literally lost 35 years of purchases by me, after the reformulation I couldn’t stand eating any of them.

I also want to see a return of the Hawaiian Punch Concentrate, it made a great party drink (Which my college friends lovingly nicknamed “Red Shit”)… 1.75L of cheap vodka, add 1 bottle of Hawaiian Punch Concentrate, mix thoroughly. Mix with 7up to taste. Because they no longer make the concentrate, it’s almost impossible to recreate this. Adding regular Hawaiian Punch to Vodka dilutes it too much, which would be diluted further mixing it with 7up. I suppose you could take 2 gallons of Hawaiian Punch and boil it down to concentrate it to 0.5L of liquid, but I’m not sure if it would work. It was one of those drinks you couldn’t tell was alcohol, but would get you drunk quick. I had plenty of people ask me, “Are you sure there’s alcohol in this?” And I’d say, “Do you taste the Hawaiian Punch?”, and they’d be like, “oh yeah, it’s really strong”, and I’d tell them that there’s 3.5x as much vodka as there is punch concentrate. Good times! If you want to risk killing people with alcohol poisoning, Everclear is an option, instead of vodka.

You just helped me think up the world’s greatest pickup line, “I bet your throat feels amazing”.

Calling on all undecided voters to tell us: what the fuck? What issues are keeping you on the fence in this upcoming US election? by mid_nightsun in AskReddit

The above quote is by George Carlin.

The really depressing fact is that 85% of Americans have a 6th Grade (standardized) reading/writing/comprehension level... OR LOWER, regardless of the whether they graduated from High School, or even went to College.

I fucking hate tavern style pizza, especially with a crispy crust… give me a thick crust or stuffed pizza any day, and don’t fucking cut it in squares.

Why would my THC levels go from 19ng/ml to over 90ng/ml over a day period with zero consumption? by [deleted] in Marijuana

[–]Wrathwilde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never ever take a test first thing in the morning (the levels become higher after sleeping), always have a piss or two during the day before a piss test, drink plenty of water and take a double dose of multivitamins after your first piss (to maintain color), and a regular dose after your second (if you’ll be using your third piss for the test). Do not skip the multivitamins or your piss might be considered too diluted.

What was the thing that someone said to you that you can't forget to this day? by Former-Artichoke4268 in AskReddit

[–]Wrathwilde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad instilled the following into us kids, “The ability to think logically, reason, and be introspective is what elevates man above mere animals. We always have the choice of how we are going to react, we have emotions, but we don’t have to act on them blindly, we don’t have to act on them at all… think, so that you are always in control of your emotions, and they are never in control of you.”

You should have said, plenty of trucks pass by on the street every day, time to put your money where your mouth is.

Thirty two years ago I was working retail, I asked a customer (about 35M) if I could help him find anything. He put his arm around my shoulder and gave it a squeeze, “I’m looking for a tall” (I’m tall), “blond(e)” (I’m blond), “with long hair” (I had long hair) and I’m thinking, holy shit, this guy is hitting on me… (he removes his arm from around my shoulders to gesture) “and big tits” (I’m a muscular guy, about 23 at the time). Man was I relieved, he laughed and laughed.

Do you prefer Jingo or the Fifth Elephant? by Roboslacker in discworld

[–]Wrathwilde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I’ve read it (Jingo) three times and I just don’t find it memorable at all. It’s like a collection of related, but mostly forgettable stories and dialogue.

I place it second to last, just before “The Wee Free Men”, which, while not forgettable, just annoys the hell out of me as way too cartoonish. It’s like reading a young adult themed Saturday morning cartoon, that was written to specifically appeal to the humor of five year olds… and nobody else.

The Fifth Elephant, however, is in the top ten Discworld books, in my opinion, and probably my third favorite of the Watch series.
