What could possibly go wrong.

Remove the second H and the meme retains its original meaning.

Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra, On the Town, 1949

Chips represent sexual favors.

Scotty might be a space dwarf, but O'Brien is a space hobbit through and through.

I didn't get a slow cooker until I was an adult, and it was a life changer. I love a recipe that consists of "ingredients, plus 6-8 hours."

Aww, my suffrage. :(

Jaws. Stay out of the water.

Amityville / Overlook Hotel. Don't go inside.

The T-Rex from Jurassic Park, because on the one hand, I could probably just drive away at a reasonable pace and make it, but on the other hand, even if it gets me, the collateral damage alone will be a totally inexplicable story that will last forever.

I did my best. Do I get to vote?

I'm perfectly comfortable with taking it as far as "so long as it's all consenting adults, it's none of my fucking business, and I wish them all well."

If it's not my thing, no big deal. Some people like feet, and it's not my thing, so no big deal.

Even if I find it personally gross, again, consenting adults, no big deal. Some people are into watersports, but hey, so long as they're not leaving a mess or hurting each other, no big deal.

We've got enough trouble in the world without also trying to police what adults are doing in their goddamn personal lives. I yearn for a day in which more people could accept the "it's none of my fucking business" ethos.

I never have had to do one of these, and I promise I'm not deliberately trying to ask stupid questions. Would this system be fooled by holding up a mannequin head?

I wonder if they could get more people in there by having tables where you could play Smash Bros. or Red Alert 2 against house players for money. Every game of poker or blackjack I've ever played I lost hard and had no fun, but if I could pay a professional to absolutely crush me at Street Fighter, I might be inclined to go into a casino for that kind of treatment.

I'm not convinced it can be anyone. Trump is a remarkable combination of horrible, stupid, and snake-oil-salesman charismatic. Anyone less stupid, and the base can tell that he's just pretending to be like them, and they don't like it. Anyone less charismatic can't sell the con. Anyone less horrible would actually be less horrible, so that'd actually be better for all of us, but again I think then the base would turn on them for being insufficiently horrible.

About the only one I can think of on the public stage right now who checks all those boxes is Marjorie Taylor Greene, and she's a wOmAn, which also disqualifies her for a good chunk of the Trump base.

But then again, this is the stupidest timeline, so for all I know they'll just decide that Ron DeSantis is their new god when Trump finally exits the scene and deny that they ever hated Ron's stupid fucking guts.

"If you build it, they won't pull out when they come."

Hold up a photo of any random schmoe?

Unless you're a dragon.

I know they meant "worst" in the sense of "bad at math," but now I'm imagining the world's worst mathematician trying to figure out how to use math to commit ethic cleansing or poison water supplies or make pugs' noses even more fucked up or something.
