Sure but he probably wants to stay on earth and just send a ton of brown people to the moon.

You know what, I like ski jumping, I like bobsled, but am I the only one who really just wants bobsled jumping?

After heroic levels of binging we got to the end of Stranger Things. And it certainly wasn't worth it. Season 4 was annoying for how much of it was just the main characters yelling at each other, but Season 5 was just plain dire.

How expensive were your trainers? Why are you paying that much when they're lying idle all the hours that you're, e.g., asleep in bed? DM me to get in on the ground floor of an amazing business opportunity - the TIMESHOE industry. Your shoes could be off having adventures even when you aren't.

Maybe not the biggest, but definitely top ten.

West coast + Canada + selected Canadian adjacency works very well…

Damn you Humble Bundle! I might never actually read or even download this mountain of electronic versions of Call of Cthulhu tomes, but at $30, I couldn't NOT buy it. That's how they get you.

Disappointing that we couldn't have waited another 7 years to celebrate the 100th anniversary of 1933 with all these reenactments.

After the murders of Good and Pretti, consultation of my copy of The Pilgrim's Progress indicates that the next death at the hands of (White) Christian could be Help, Goodwill, Piety, Charity, Faithful or Sincere.

Last laugh is on all the people who hire me after advertising for a "rockstar developer". Just as Spinal Tap's amps "go to 11", all my bits can be 0, 1 or 2. Causes a LOT of bugs

My crack about "Nelson Mandela was in this band wasn't he" went down like a lead balloon in Division 3. Tbf it would have done the same anywhere

I really wanted to tell a guy on Facebook who was fulminating about people "not knowing the past tense of 'wreak'" that he shouldn't have frought out about it, but he'd already disabled the comments :(

Nice streak you've got going here. Shame if something... were to happen to it, if you catch my drift. *green owl knocks vase off mantelpiece*

Maybe we need an electoral choice beyond "the Republicans" and "pretty much the Republicans, maybe a little less heavy-handed about it"

I'd rather have a Dorothy Parker quote in front of me than give a paratha naan to a docker.

Justin Fletcher who began working at CBeebies in 1999 just misses out on being part of this.

I really enjoyed Blue Prince but not enough to fully complete it. Seemed like there were more Easter eggs to find but at a way too high effort cost in many cases.

And this is why you will always feel like a foreigner in the UK, simply too unawkward when eating seafood to completely fit in
