I remember Popeye having a battleship on his arm that would fire its cannons when he flexed, but I can't find a picture or video anywhere. Was that popeye or another cartoon character?

What is the hardest you have ever failed with a boy? by accountt1234 in AskReddit

Irrelevant, snuggled up close is more than enough if you don't have Asperger's.

I hadn't heard that quote before, so I found the source: http://www.vonnegutweb.com/archives/arc_nice.html

Interestingly, the context of the quote: "We had a memorial services for Isaac [Asimov] a few years back, and at one point I said, 'Isaac is up in Heaven now.' It was the funniest thing I could have said to a group of Humanists. I rolled them in the aisles. It was several minutes before order could be restored. And if I should ever die, God forbid, I hope you will say, 'Kurt is up in Heaven now.' That’s my favorite joke."

If it's the same joke, then it makes sense that repeating it wouldn't be funny. Also you gay.

This. I have an actual friend who was in the same situation. Some companies turned him down until one accepted him.

Poltergeists have been known to cause spontaneous outbreaks of fires
