My grandma, a high school English teacher, drilled that into my dad’s brain, who in turn drilled it into me. It works so well.

Or it serves as a way to dissipate the smoke smell when breathing out. In my college days, we called it a “sploof.”

Before I watched the GIF, I was thinking “I bet this is in Turkey.” Pretty sure I’m right.

"Shortly before the Patrician came to power there was a terrible plague of rats. The city council countered it by offering twenty pence for every rat tail. This did, for a week or two, reduce the number of rats—and then people were suddenly queueing up with tails, the city treasury was being drained, and no one seemed to be doing much work. And there still seemed to be a lot of rats around. Lord Vetinari had listened carefully while the problem was explained, and had solved the thing with one memorable phrase which said a lot about him, about the folly of bounty offers, and about the natural instinct of Ankh-Morporkians in any situation involving money: “Tax the rat farms.”

Ever since I read through the Discworld series, I always think of this when I see comments like the one above. GNU, Terry Pratchett.

For those of you who want to hear how that super long city name is pronounced. Or, you can learn how to say it from this catchy song!

Makes me crave a regular human alcoholic beer.

…and making your partner cum on Shabbos is a mitzvah

It’s not just a mitzvah, it’s a double mitzvah!

For serious. I was wondering why there were so few comments on this post, but with that first one there’s no need for other comments.

What a cute traveling companion! Lucky you.

Haha, this is perfect. You encapsulated Shadowrun combat perfectly. How does the Darkness fair in the matrix is my question.

This is the correct answer

You mean Tux?

How do you know my inner thoughts, OP?

And now I will leave Earth for no raisin!

I thought the same thing

That dude is everywhere. Yes, he became iconic for his Joker voice in Batman: The Animated Series, but my god he’s in so much TV. He was hilarious for his brief appearance in “What We Do in the Shadows,” and he killed it in Adventure Time. I mean seriously, look at his IMDB page.

Reminds me of an old joke. “How do you know if someone runs Arch Linux?” “Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.”

I freaking love Apocalypse World. It’s one of my favorite systems by far. The world has so much potential to be as expansive as you’d like, and can fluidly adjust to the players actions. I’ve been running a game for a while (which is currently on hiatus because I have a new baby), and it’s a blast.
