I would definitely try that game.

I’ve never seen Gowron in an episode that I can recall (I’m getting old and never had a great memory), but when he showed up in that 70s hairstyles image, I absolutely lost it.

On top of that, if I’m stopping at such a stand, it’s more because I want to encourage them than because I want their weird lemonade!

I remember, Sammy Jankis!

There’s a book called The Botany of Desire, by Michael Pollan, which is about this. Looking from the plants eye view of things, they have manipulated us into growing them in a huge variety of environments. The book focuses on tulips, cannabis, apples, and potatoes, iirc. Fascinating book.

Two quick examples from the book:

Pot gets us high, now we grow it in closets, warehouses, yards, basements, attics, etc.

Apples don’t reproduce true from seed, so Johnny Appleseed brought readily available cider to the Americas. (You need a cutting of an apple tree to grow that type of apple.)

And it won’t be recreating the mammoth, just giving mammoth-like features to an elephant.

It’s a truly strange project.

After a long day at work, I love being around my wife. That isn’t all the time, but it is pretty much every day. And it’s weird when we’re apart.

You might be able to buy a candy bar.

You’re one hell of an ally.

It is definitely not too late for that.

I remember the original getting a lukewarm reception.

It was beautiful, played well, but extremely short and not very challenging.

But it was a long time ago, I could be misremembering.

This is an absolutely brilliant edit.

Well done.

That’s really nice, I like that interpretation a lot! Sort of “This man wrote so well he might as well have been a Klingon.”

That line always annoyed the fuck out of me. They couldn’t make up an equally vitally important Klingon author and then compare them?

Nope, just a throwaway joke.

It looks like they’re in the Dreamatorium.

Look, it’s a fascist influencer!

I looked and didn’t see a family connection. And he would’ve had to have been at least an uncle.

Edit: And David’s last name is spelled Sedaris. Oh well.

My buddies and I would play on the Playstation (2?) and I got very very good at ninja roping across the map to drop dynamite on someone’s head and swing back to safety in time.

Nothing more I loved than that maneuver, except maybe getting a concrete donkey.

As another commenter pointed out, I was thinking of the 5200. But yeah, I was also doubtful.

Ah, you’re right! Brain failure. Thank you.
