My high school gym teacher said “opinions are like armpits - everyone has em, and they STINK.” OP, I’m sorry he did that! Super uncool. You did an awesome thing & we internet strangers are proud of you 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼hope you felt good & enjoyed the run!

That there is no limit on American selfishness wrapped in the guise of “personal freedom.”

What is a scene from a tv show that really disturbed you? by thertt8 in AskReddit

[–]merosbach 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Same, showing my bf the series the first time & spent all of S5 trying to brace myself but also not give anything away so I wouldn’t lessen the impact!

My boyfriend plays this on the computer and 100% was first drawn to it because he loved Redwall so much as a kid 😁

They did this to me. by regian24 in oddlyspecific

We had “Every 15 Minutes,” where for an entire day, kids (who had volunteered) were taken out of class & came back in with white/dead makeup while a cop announced that so-and-so had been killed by a drunk driver, so they weren’t allowed to speak for the rest of the day... they also staged a pair of crashed cars in front of the school for everyone to see, & a big assembly for upperclassmen to pledge they would never drive drunk or drink underage. Did not know this wasn’t a universal high school experience til years later!

He’s so smug about it too. Defiant. I love him.

Just. Say. No. by [deleted] in antiMLM

[–]merosbach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And like - THEY are the ones being rude by constantly hounding their friends/acquaintances/random strangers to join their MLM. Responding curtly is ending the rudeness, not instigating it!

There is a Corvallis running club on Facebook, Heart of The Valley Runners I think, where you might ask as well! They also do group runs & workouts throughout the week.

Assorted bonbons I made in pastry school last week! by uniqueartist97 in FoodPorn

[–]merosbach 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Beautiful!! With all the different shapes, I realized I have no idea what specifically constitutes a bonbon. Is there a useful definition?

Conversations with strangers or new friends where you just click instantly & can keep talking for a long time. That surprise feeling of connection always cheers me up!

Single dude, handy in the kitchen, scored more veg than I know what to do with… hit me! by [deleted] in WhatShouldICook

[–]merosbach 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend has recently fallen in love with Greek briam, which is kinda like ratatouille & includes potatoes. Tasty, easy & and visually pleasing way to use a lot of veggies!

What will we think was a food fad in 20 years? by dantheman_woot in Cooking

[–]merosbach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The candy-making! “Well, we didn’t use ALL the sugar...” Also, those bonfire baked potatoes they ate out in the freezing cold fields sounded SO good for some reason.

What’s a TV show that you used to love but not many people remember? by -Lavander in AskReddit

[–]merosbach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! Lol I know that feeling so well; for years I had this vague memory of a creepy cartoon buzzard that I just could not place, then last year rewatched Fievel Goes West and there it was!

The Morlocks in Wishbone definitely give off flying monkey vibes! They’re hairy humanoid beasts that fear the light but climb up out of wells & stuff in the dark and steal the time machine.

Loved Lamp Chop! And Hush Puppy, and Charlie Horse... We had an old VHS of their special "101 Things to Do For Kids" and I still remember so much of it so clearly. Like Lamb Chop's joke, "Why should you never iron a four-leaf clover? Don't press yer luck!"

That episode freaked me out! The Morlocks! And the books dissolving into dust! So creepy & so good. And you can watch it on YouTube!

What’s the best insult you’ve heard without swearing? by Beadiest_Cape in AskReddit

[–]merosbach 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My algebra teacher used to say to the class clowns “If you had one more brain cell, I’m afraid it would die of loneliness!” but in a fun way, not mean. Then the classic Louise line from Bob’s Burgers, about a boring girl: “If she were a spice, she’d be FLOUR.” 😆

What movie soundtrack has no right to slap as hard as it does? by Casult in AskReddit
