I remember one time I got a Shamrock Shake at a drive-thru, only to realize it hadn’t properly mixed with the base vanilla “ice cream”. It was just a cup of green syrup concentrate. I drank it. I DO NOT recommend this.

I think it’s cute that you call the voices in your head “coworkers”!

This headline from Salon cracks me up, like it was her fault. Rebecca Black, why would you do this?!?

Now’s your chance to make a killing by printing 250 versions with the correct schedule and selling them 10 feet in front of the main entrance.

If anything, the book titles seem like complete gobbledegook…

There’s literally no way an AV3 script would be rejected for recycling jokes from AV 1&2. That’s the least believable part of this whole premise.

Yeah I love that book. I waited way too long to read it and I was shocked at how crazy it is. Not just in terms of storyline, but Melville is just like “Fuck it! This chapter is a stage play!”

To be fair your profile pic is a skeleton so if anything it was a compliment.

Okay, sorry, that was a dick thing to say. I’m crispy this morning. I mean, I STILL think I’m right, but I’m sorry I was rude about it.

Seriously, draw me the lighting diagram that explains these shadows. I’m absolutely fascinated.

Cool man. I’ve got 12 years of experience doing film and video lighting. Lemme know if you wanna compare notes.

*Me, backing away slowly, as I just today realized that the lyrics to “Jack and Diane” were “Changes come around real soon, make us women and men” and NOT “changes come around real soon, leave you swimming in debt.”*

Nope. Because then the plant and dragon would be casting shadows along two different vectors.

Yeah, if there’s two sources of light, there’d be a secondary shadow from the plant and dragon as well. Even taking the inverse square law into effect.

Hey nobody who owns a copy of “bHoiL DAHON” would use AI.

You have my favorite book! I love… bHoiL DAHON (Sorry, my keyboard is weirdly missing the “backwards L” key… 🤔)
