Not exactly misheard but what I came up with and which became canon to my household despite not really sounding alike:

Tape Five’s ‘Taxi to Bombay’ became ‘Text me Your Butthole.’ (And please do not.)

Edit: Just remembered an actual misheard one. I am a bit hard of hearing, and the They Might Be Giants song Subliminal I heard as Submersible. Considering that the lyric is ‘Subliminal… in an unnoticeable way,’ my interpretation was pretty damned funny.

Woot. Go us!

Don’t worry about the difficulty level and just play for the story.

If that isn’t for you, then definitely throw in the towel. I am truly biased though as I have played D&D for a good deal of my life.

Full blown stoner here.

I used to walk around my workplace during breaks for exercise and passed a few kids chatting.

I overheard “I’m not kidding, my brother can get everything he needs to make weed at Taco Bell!”

This name was made for a MUD back in 1994. The full name is Pronell Mordini, and he was a perrin (otterfolk) merchant king, a background character in the world.

I was tasked with making my own palace and marketplace but the game shut down months later.

I’ve more or less been using the name online ever since then, as it’s almost never taken. Someone did get to pronell@gmail.com first, but who cares, especiially now?

My wife sometimes goes by Mrs. Pronell online. I’ve teased her that it should technically be Mrs. Mordini.

She sells sea spells by the seashore.

Sheesh.

The US has air bases there.

Fair point, I was ignorant of their weekends. But I was also considering that their society has been in disarray during protests for months.

Even that doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be school.

I still distrust news that comes from any of the regimes at play here.

And any deaths of civilians would be tragic. Of course if a school was indeed hit that would be a horrific thing.

After months of protests, I truly doubt a bunch of girls were at school on a Saturday.

Just like the US said Iraq was removing premature infants from respirators in Kuwait. Bullshit.

Just like Israel said Hamas was beheading babies. Absolute nonsense.

It’s meant to generate rage first and foremost, to dehumanize the enemy.

War is dehumanizing enough.

I do not trust Iran one bit. Iranians, maybe. They’re the ones suffering here. But the regimes at play here can all get fucked.

Oof. Good meme.

I’ve had an idea for years I really want to try using this system.

The basis is the SCP story “What happened to site 13?”

And the answer is ridiculous, I won’t spoil everything but in the end they win by sending the site to an alternate dimension.

So I want to do that, have them win, then translate the end state into a dungeon in my D&D world for them to conquer.

I suppose that will have to be posted there and not here, hah.

The literal fun police!

We are very lucky there.

Our youngest cat, Maryjane, is the enforcer. Any new animals in the house get hassled by her until they meet her standards.

Doesn’t matter how unruly the dog is, she will patiently hiss and bat at them until they chill a bit.

Well, where are you?!

I’m in northern Minnesota and could likely talk my wife into adopting a homeless cat!

I often think of myself as a fuckup, especially lately as I am unemployed.

But when I look at my life honestly and with open eyes, I know I am a decent person who has grown and tried to make up for my past wrongdoing.

And I don’t know that there is much else to ask from anyone except that alone, to continue to try to grow and be better in some ways.

I can always beat myself up with would’ves and could’ves, but I can’t redo.

The only chance I have to do things differently is now.

Hey, I’m also having tummy issues, as is often the case.

For me it’s IBS, driven by anxiety and a bad diet. Just in case you don’t know what drives your bad tummy stuff, this was it for me.

I’ve made a lot of progress in identifying the foods that upset me and know that my anxiety triggers it getting worse, so I can work on both of those.

I am supposed to run a two hour d&d game in an hour, that’s part of the anxiety. But it’ll be fine.

“After recalling a memory, participants learned how to use a cognitive skill called mental rotation, which involves rotating 2D and 3D shapes using your ‘mind’s eye’. They then used this skill to play a slower form of the video game Tetris, which similarly involves rotating geometric blocks. This is thought to occupy the brain’s visuospatial areas, competing with the visual flashback, weakening its vividness and emotional impact – and critically, the frequency with which it intrudes.”

Well this is fucking fascinating. It’s almost like you’re symbolically working through the traumatic event in a way that it can actually be ‘solved’.

I will check them out!

Dan Harmon has said the producer did this magic for him. He would often tell Dan that, no, they were over budget when they weren’t, so he could then say yes to the best ideas, actors/cameos, etc.

I’m a huge superfan. My ringtone is Professor Professorson’s.
