A pic from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis"  (S4.E2)

Dennis is pointing to a hand-drawn graph labeled "gas prices" and the graph is going up dramatically. Note that both axes of the graph are obscured by cartoon drawings of women.

No matter how many times we live through this episode, it manages to keep getting dumber and more poorly planned.

True or False, the "s" in this character's name is pronounced like a "z".

My father occasionally references the "real estate" he owns back in the city where he was born. He is talking about the grave sites they purchased 30 years ago.

For decades now, we have needed a clearer, more enforceable, legal definition of the word "war".

But as a nation, we have no legislative will to do so.

Swiss Cake rolls could almost replace Nutty Buddy on mine. That's a quality snack.

I love that your colleague asked about who Elvis Presley is, not who Elvis was.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

If I ever run into Tony Hawk in the wild, I'm going to say:

β€œHey... are you?? Do you know who you look like? Do people ever say you look just like...

...Ralph Macchio?"

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

β€œHelsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Each morning I wake up, take a hot shower, make coffee, and open my laptop to Al Jazeera, hoping that it will NOT be this news.

Goddamnit.

It would be so much better if at least it were funny.

I recommend trying "As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride" by Cary Elwes.

He does a wonderful job narrating, and there are guest appearances by most of the rest of the major cast, reading the parts they had contributed to the book.

Plus it's a good story!
