One use for a phone book was to prop a little kid in a regular chair so they could eat at the table. Like, after they outgrew a baby highchair and could balance on their own. Also you could prove your strength by ripping one in half.

Listings were usually under the name of the adult male, for safety as well as sexism. A woman living alone would probably use just her initials for safety.

That’s great! Mine always turn gray as soon as the weather gets cool and moist.

Now dunk it in cold bourbon as you take each bite. Deeelishish and nutrishish!

Maybe correct the comtrail one. Or substitute Cumulonimbus, for when a storm is brewing.

And in certain tones and context, a man saying the last one to a woman could sound a bit predatory. I’m sure you’ll use good judgement.

Yeah I get that, literally blood money

If you want to practice compliments, a safe choice is often some version of “cute shoes!” Obviously some shoes aren’t cute, they’re “super” or “dapper,” or (some adjective I’m too old and out of touch to know) or “I bet you can run real fast in them.”

I donate blood at the UCLA Blood and Platelet Center because I know it’s going directly to the hospital. Of course I expect it to be used for others, but on a selfish note, it helps keep their supply of my blood type topped up just in case I need some one day.

Sad and horrible things have been done with babies. Don’t go looking for pictures or videos on the internet.

With the father’s history of domestic abuse I just hope this couple doesn’t produce another baby for the purpose of selling it.

Don’t forget Gosford Park!

Currently.

Probably the only reason it’s not written into Project 2025 is that they didn’t think of it

The show is clever and so is its name, which is indeed a pun playing on psych(ic)/psych (out). The bravado of calling your fake psychic agency “fooled you!” is perfectly in character for Sean.

Oh c’mon, we had a whole show, a very good one, that should have taught everyone how to spell PSYCH! correctly. I sentence you to go watch it, all of it, including the movies. 🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍

“cost deducted from employee’s payroll” is the most realistic part, IMHO. I worry this joke will give someone ideas IRL. And that part is how they will sell it to CEOs.

Make your own with a butterfly or something?

Despite the picture, in both marriage and PhD programs approximately 50% of successful candidates are women.

Cult and religious are archaeologist-speak for we don’t see a practical purpose and have no idea. I’m going to hold on to “they buried the god-tier sheep bone gamer girl with her wins.” Come to think of it, god-tier equals cult figure, maybe you can pray to her for wins

If it’s pronounced sequel why isn’t it CQL?

I like these Halloween orange guys! Their web lines look too thin to hold them. Took me awhile to find a picture where the web wasn’t torn, because they like to build where light is coming from a window or door at night, to catch night bugs, so people tend to find them by walking into it face-first in the morning. But they’re good guys!

Here’s a baby step towards spider tolerance: neither of those spiders can make a Charlotte-type web. So, any spider you see hanging out in one of these 🕸️ is not only not a danger to you, she’s taking prey and space away from the scary ones, so you want more like her to crowd them out.
