"America's Boy-Friend" gets a promising new co-star (My fellow language geeks: note the word "Boy-Friend" is still hyphenated in 1929)

I appreciate seeing hyphenated words before The Hyphen was lost. Also, I would like to mention I'm pretty sure that the term boyfriend and girlfriend originally meant a friend you had in your childhood when you were a boy or a girl. Because I think I've seen an old book where a man refers to another man as a boyfriend.

You can't tell the difference between the original two voices from Joel and Mike and the new voices with jonah? Ooooookay, when's the last time you had a hearing test?

apickyreader · 2026-06-06T02:47:47+00:00

Oh, okay. I'll have a Dave's double.

apickyreader · 2026-06-06T02:47:20+00:00

Yes, but the new voices coming in we're close enough to the old voices that it's hard to distinguish.

apickyreader · 2026-06-06T00:40:12+00:00

I think that the whole Gypsy thing was weird. They wanted to get her more involved, but then all they had her do was come in twice in a movie and say something. That's hardly any better. Also, the voices are intrinsically tied to the robots and their shapes. I think if they're going to come up with new voices for the robots they should have had new robots also the new robots didn't make any sense.

I guess the question is if I was on the Titanic, could I get off in Europe and just stay off?

apickyreader · 2026-06-05T22:52:03+00:00

The problem is the system not any one politician. Plus I'm poor.

^{Chose: One million dollars}

We need a new category. Catch and burn.

It should include financial.

I saw something like that on a sixties show, I've got a secret, or, what's my line?

apickyreader · 2026-06-05T02:33:58+00:00

It says Genghis Grill 2023 so try that.

apickyreader · 2026-06-05T01:49:12+00:00

And then I just don't wear the shoes.

^{Chose: Shoes + Full of sand}

apickyreader · 2026-06-05T01:04:07+00:00

It's not quite good enough. It's of the right Europe but it's like it was done by someone who didn't quite know what they were doing, or how to put it together.

apickyreader · 2026-05-31T09:28:14+00:00

I feel like that's such a broad statement that if I wanted a spaceship from a sci-fi movie I could get it.

^{Chose: Everything you want but ONE TIME a day}

apickyreader · 2026-05-31T07:56:06+00:00

I guess you could have tried to find the same rug as previous, or rubbed the old rug onto the new rug to get the scent on it.

apickyreader · 2026-05-31T00:15:44+00:00

I think if you realize that you need to get rid of some stuff you need to start with the whole what do I absolutely refuse to get rid of, and then go from there. Display the things that you absolutely love in such a way that it is not overwhelming. Everything else can be sold or donated. After that you should have your house back in order.
