Out of This World

This post shot me in the face four times.

NOT gonna say this again!! A CYBORG is something PARTIALLY ROBOTIC. An ANDROID is something that is FULLY ROBOTIC, MADE TO LOOK HUMAN. A ROBOT is FULLY ROBOTIC and NOT DESIGNED TO LOOK HUMAN!!

My dad and I have this whole routine whenever we serve each other tea, in which we act like a poisoner in an old movie anxiously and unsubtly encouraging each other to drink up. It’s become a whole Monty Python skit at this point—wringing our hands and standing over the other’s shoulders going, “Oh, yes, yes, how’s the tea, then, how’s the tea...? Aren’t you going to drink your tea? Your tea’s going cold, dear, better drink up!”

Do you also sometimes lift your cup to your mouth unknowingly and then, as if struck by sudden thought, put it down to say yet another thing?

Yes absolutely. We put off actually drinking the tea as much as possible.

But what do you do when someone finally drinks the tea?

Choking noises and theatrical falls to the floor.

don’t know why terror seems like the correct emotional reaction to this but it is

From someone who sails and reads a lot of books about the history of sailing? Terror is entirely the correct emotional reaction.

Most shows with overpowered supernatural characters always try to come up with elaborate excuses to explain why the characters can’t just magic themselves out of every situation. Good Omens doesn’t really do that, but you don’t really question it because you completely buy that these morons are so unequivocally incompetent that they straight up forget that they have the powers of fucking demigods. They’re like high-level d&d characters who only use the same three moves and have completely forgotten about the 73 magic items sitting in their inventory. 

“Gary, I realize it’s your first day, but we do have a dress code.”

I literally can’t tell who is talking to who, and I don’t want to change that for a second.
