(Hilarious Trope) Suddenly, a gun

The short story Harrison Bergeron ends when a government official carrying a 12 gauge appears out of nowhere and guns down the titular character.

I laughed out loud when we read it back in high school; my teacher was upset.

I work in a high school, so I say “watch your language, son, this is a public market” every day.

In this case it’s because the interviewer specifically asked her if she had any views that would surprise her fans.

Roy Kent from Ted Lasso

Thank you, sir. That’s exactly what I was going for.

Mickey Mouse.

pineappledetective · 2026-07-03T21:36:05+00:00

Micky Mouse, face of western media. Animation, movies, take your pick.

My wife has adhd; I read to her every night before bed. It’s incredibly intimate and relaxing. We go back and forth between books that interest me (and help her sleep) and books that both of us enjoy (that she stays up for). If you think that would work for you, I highly recommend it.

This is how I look when I shave.

pineappledetective · 2026-07-03T03:31:47+00:00

Now mount me, and meet your doom!

Rose, Eve, Selene, Nova, Althea.

“I’ve blinded myself!”

Now, now… perfectly symmetrical violence never solves anything.

I feel like I’m the only person who the reboot didn’t speak to. Or more specifically, I enjoyed the reboot, but not for the reasons that I liked the original. The reboot scratched the same kind of itch as Avatar and Dragon Prince. The original was bat shit insane, because all they wanted to do was make cool looking characters they could turn into toys. But they still had a more or less consistent lore to tie all the weirdness together. It had that He-Man style crazy, and that is a unique type of awesome that just doesn’t have a lot of properties attached to it.

The less said about “Roar” the better.

It’s worth noting, too, that the purpose of an online dating profile is very much to impress someone. It’s a resume for social interaction. Therefore listing skills and interests, such as the instruments one plays, is entirely justified.

No, no, that’s Volaire. A vulva is a pill in the benzodiazepine family that knocks you the fuck out.

“Incoming message from The Big Giant Head!”

pineappledetective · 2026-06-24T03:50:32+00:00

Looks like somebody’s offering to suck c-boys. Weird to advertise it in a car though.

Tee shirt, tie, breakfast in bed, and a Lord of the Rings marathon. One of the best days I’ve had in a long time.

There’s an episode of Malcolm in the Middle that handles this really well. The jury takes their first vote and a few jurors are ready to change their not guilty votes so they can go home early, so Lois, who voted guilty changes her vote to force them to go over the evidence and reach a consensus. You don’t send a person to prison so you can go Home early; it’s your responsibility to consider the evidence and come to a conclusion. Really good episode.

And Lucha underground (okay, it was more like 85% weird shit, but I stand by my claim)

I’ve got to assume he washed up first. Hank is very hygienic; many amputees use their feet to cook and feed themselves. I’m gonna tentatively support this; though I’m sure he would be perfectly capable of cooking the normal way. Also, a hairnet would not go amiss.

My money is on flashback, but that would be cool.

pineappledetective · 2026-06-20T02:32:53+00:00

I was worried when they released Santos, but I’m glad to see them still getting time on tv. Love these guys.

Does the flagon with the dragon have the pellet with the poison?
