    I have an artist buddy who has 8 of those bubble guns rigged to the roof of his car, all shooting backwards. (Disguised in 2 giant, colorful ‘fun missiles’) Makes a pretty decent cloud of bubbles. Easily enough to someone drop back. Always hilarious when he goes through an intersection, and everyone has ro stop like 15 seconds to wait for the bubbles to fall before they can go.

    I called mine’s thing 1 and thing 2 for a while. TBF, their parents had let them temp dye their hair blue. I stopped by one evening, and the kids were wearing matching red PJs, with blue hair, climbing the walls in pre bedtime hyperness.



  • Im with you on this. I have 3 laundry bins and a closet for hanging.

    Dress shirts and pants that really dont want wrinkles get hung up. Otherwise, the dirty laundry bin gets washed, comes upstairs, and gets put back into the clean bins. I use 2 bins so I can shuffle things from one to the other to find particular things.

    Tbf, almost all my clothes are identical. Ive got 30 pairs of the same sock, all my underwear are the same brand, as are my pants. Its only really T shirts, over shirts, and in the winter, underlayers that I am ever looking for.





  • Does the aviator use their penis for flying the plane?

    It would be a lot cooler if he did.

    All jokes aside, it does have a purpose; it sets up the other person for using the correct pronouns to refer to the newly Introduced person in conversation.

    “The aviator has been flying for decades”
    “Oh yeah? I bet he’s really good at it then!”
    “Actually, shes a woman, but yes, shes one of the best in the show!”

    By properly using aviatrix, and having gendered terms like it, that faux pas is avoided.

    I agree with you on widower though, sort of. To me widower always sounded like its should refer to the deceased husband. He made her a widow by dieing, so he’s her widower.

    “Oh Janie’s a sweetheart, always helping out in the community since she became a widow.”

    "Oh yeah? "

    “Yeah! Bob, her widower, had a heart attack working as the auctioneer for the school charity, and ever since, shes vowed to volunteer for the both of them!”




  • For years, growing up, there were signs saying “adopt a view point” in the highway we’d drive out to see family over the holidays.

    For years, I thought they were saying something about road saftey, warning drivers to look at whats coming up instead of directly in front of them. Something akin to the picking a spot on the horizon to sail towards to keep the boat straight my dad had taught me for sailing…

    At some point i realized the blue signs were all guidance or info, not rules or warning. At one point I thought they might be politically motivated, like the “please dont litter” signs along that same highway- where they pleading with us to form and opinion, any opinion.

    I think I was in my late teens before I finally saw one that said “this viewpoint adopted by <company>” and realized they were literally asking people to sponsor the scenic pull-off spots along the highway.

    I still prefer to read them as some poor civil servant waging a private campaign against nihilism, picking the nicest bits of scenery for his message, hoping to shock the american public out of their unfeeling malaise.
