A Rockthrowing Butch

I feel bad that I'm not convinced that the superhero fatigue isn't a real thing or Marvel's back just bcs the new Spiderman did really well in theaters if only because Spiderman has basically been everyone's favorite superhero for decades now and Spiderman movies don't even have to be good to rake in ridiculous amounts of money. And I say that as someone who loves Spiderman and will watch just about anything he's a central character in.

Like dude...there have been enough Spiderman reboots in the last 30 years that we can have one Spiderman movie with 3 Spidermen and another where nearly every major character is a Spiderman of some kind as well as a major game franchise with at least 2 Spidermen in it. The people want one thing and it's a webby lad suffering more than jesus while cracking jokes like his life depends on it. Much like Georg, Spiderman is an outlier and should not be counted.

That's my friend Spiderman!! I saw a kid with a skateboard ask him to do a kick flip on it and he tried and tripped and slammed his face into the sidewalk. I'd die for him.

Come back 2 me….

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream. I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam.

Yeehaw yall. Gracie is on the run.

To answer some common questions in the tags:

1. How do you lose a Giraffe? She apparently scaled a cliff that served as part of the enclosure (which the other giraffes in the herd had shown no interest in climbing.)

2. Well it should be easier to find her, she's a whole ass giraffe? Yeah, you'd think, but Texas ranches are fuckin huge. The man has apparently hired a helicopter and several drones to aide the search, but no luck yet. She's been seen on some game cameras on the nearby ranches though. But she's sneaky.

3. Why does a random guy in Texas have a herd of giraffes? Because it's Texas and we have basically no exotic animal regulations. No really. If you have enough land out in the hill country, you can just own stuff. It's fuckin nuts.

there are people in the world who have never been to waffle house before. heartbreaking to consider.

In college, my friends and I would often be out quite late on weekends, for possibly the most nerdy reason a college student would be out late on a weekend, as we were ran the Film Commitee that put on screenings for students.

Each week, after finishing up with the late show, we’d all pile into my two decade old Oldsmobile and head to Waffle House for a late night/early morning dinner.

One night, we get a new server, a woman of ambiguous age (any where between 25 to 55, in that way Waffle House employees are), covered head to toe with body glitter and friendly as can be, with a standard, thick Tennessee accent. The kind that calls you “hon” and sits down in your booth when she takes your order. She offers us a “special dessert”: an Oreo Pie Milkshake. We weren’t stupid so of course we took this strange Waffle House waitress’ offer.

And, of course, it was delicious! Maybe the best milkshake any of us have ever had!

We went back next week and got the same be-glittered-server and ordered the Oreo pie milkshake again. Again, it was fantastic!

Then we went back the third week. The waitress wasn’t there. We got another server who looked at us strangely when we asked for an Oreo pie milkshake. She explained that that was not a menu item. When we tried to explain what we’d seen the glitter waitress’ process, she looked over at the blender we were gesturing to and explained that that blender was used strictly for raw egg and was absolutely not safe to eat anything else blended in it.

We never saw the glitter waitress again. We’ve all tried recreating the Oreo Pie milkshake again (I’m sure at least one of us has even tried adding raw egg) but it’s just never been the same.

And that is the story about how me and my college friends met the Waffle House Fairy.

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

out of the tags with you

happy pride my friends! <3

nhl goalie problems: like 3 teams have a legit great goalie. league sv% below .900 for the first time in a william years. every goalie streaky and prone to suddenly throwing a series.

pwhl goalie problems: every team has three goalies who should be starters. worst GAA in the league would be middle of the pack in the nhl. nobody can score a fucking goal bc they're all brick walls.

yeah.

Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.

Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.

No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?

From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.

80s and early 90s Rachel how I miss you.
