Opening Task Manager to scare the programs into behaving again

just so you guys are all aware, the only reason gritty exists is allegedly because the NHL made a rule that every team HAD to have a mascot and were apparently assholes about it. so the fliers made him as a chaotic fuck you. hell the first tweet made on his official account was a “sleep with one eye open” threat towards another mascot for making fun of his design

are we not going to talk about how he launched an entire sheetcake into that man’s face, probably killing him?

I fucking love Gritty.

the best part about Gritty was when he was unveiled, the entirety of Philadelphia reacted with “wtf is this shit” until the rest of the world reacted with “wtf is this shit,” whereupon we lashed back with “FUCK ALL Y'ALL HE IS THE BEST FUCKING MASCOT EVER AND WE LOVE HIM WITH EVERY FIBER OF OUR BEING” because Philadelphia.

I’ve seen this video so many times, and I just now processed that Gritty is playing Duck, Duck, Goose, and the third guy is literally wearing a shirt that says GOOSE on it. Amazing. No notes.

It’s like. bread and water is the barest most basic and primal way to nourish yourself and stay alive even if you aren’t totally healthy. but if you somehow manage to take these essential modes of nourishment and add warmth (bread plus fire is toast) and flavour (water plus fire and spice and leaves is chai) then you can create a safe haven for yourself as is implied with the combination phrase of toast and tea. when we say ‘bread and water’ we think of stereotypical medieval feudal prisoner in a tower food. when we say ‘toast and tea’ we think of coziness. the difference between the two is just 5% an extra mile, just some more warmth. and the warmth you find in life can come from anywhere. you, or others, or the world as a whole. anything that feels warming to the heart. when you are unhappy and feel like a prisoner in your days, your life, it is a sense of ‘warmth’ that will take you out of survival mode and put you at ease. Do you see
