a screen from donkey kong jr featuring donkey kong jr chasing after a yellow helicopter that is carrying donkey kong sr in a cage. the text reads: KEEP GOING TO MARIO'S HIDEOUT

thinking about the fact that mario owning a golden helicopter, a personal hideout, and being willing to imprison an ape indefinitely are some of the very first things we learn about him predating other character traits like "being a plumber" or "luigi"

Severance clears all of these, and I’ll add the first two seasons of For All Mankind as another contender

Dead To Me was so great!

My wife has a plan to do something similar and then be put into a medically induced coma for several weeks

Can't think of a name for it, but is "Mind the gap" an example?

Finally! The tip of that juuuust got me, Odell.

Her full name was Lorraine Florentine and she could also make a mean omelette.

Age verification? My first browser was NCSA Mosaic.

"hose drinkers" as a pejorative for Gen X is so good

Wolfgang, a little black cat, yawning with his legs stretched out in front of him

Marcelline, a sassy lil’ torbie looking eepy

Marshall, a long-haired orange boy stretching wayyyyyyy out

Michael, a black and white cat perched on my (not pictured) shoulder

You also have to pick one of three "rap" breaks to know by heart: "One Week", "Hook", or "Radio Song"

(I'm "Hook")

Luckily I work at a veterinary school, so random blood stains aren’t *that* unusual

I make a mess of myself with a frequency that requires it. One time I had a minor medical procedure in the morning before work, and somehow bled through the bandage, meaning that I walked into the coffee shop with blood all over the back of my shirt.

I have desk deodorant, toothbrush, razor and polo shirt, and each have saved me on more than one occasion

a receipt for a $10 donation to the pastor's church

Get those littles $10 of Uncrustables and Capri Sun on me.

In the funniest universe this ends with you getting a backyard chicken that neither of you want, but you both think the other person wants.

wait, what?

Happy Birthday to my favorite Bsky kitties!

Secret Base always makes me curious to try a prepackaged meal plan, but I’m never sure which one

Oh, for sure it is! I think she was thinking more like building trades and whatnot (my stepfather was a carpenter).

Oh absolutely Rax. My mother had a theory that in high school, everyone should be required to work one summer in retail, one summer doing manual labor, and one summer in food service.

Oh, I have been watching the Slate....

I had one in high school and it helped me land a hot girlfriend... who I have now been married to for 27 years, so I have to agree.

Put an electric motor in this and they would sell 1,000,000

got some real breakfast ninjas in here

Haha, that was my daughter’s favorite restaurant when we lived on the Cape

I always think Channing Tatum’s name should be Tanning Chatum

And you knew you were going to get good performances out of Moore and Bacon, and Meghann Fahy has been sneaky good for a while, but Milly Alcock was a revelation

Exactly the same. I kept repeating “I am so impressed by this show!” I loved the way it absolutely refused to make anyone the villain.

Sirens was SO GOOD. I can’t remember the last time I saw a show with such real characters
