new no no, Cans and Brahms is Cats and Plants now

I accept your apology

i had completely forgotten about this thing and how much i hate it

I’m very sorry to do that to you, but I saw a needle felted Pikachu and it reminded me of him, but not in a way that was close enough that I could reblog the post and add it on.

My mom briefly worked in the school system and as a result we were on the mailing list for this amazing catalog of products for school counselors, and that’s where I first saw that little dude. Their catalog called it the Popping Martian or something so I was shocked to learn his real name was “Panic Pete”!

(This is the type of catalog where Mr. Frond would get all his puppets)

Sledgehammer is 100% about fucking and I listen to it…almost every day? Also I miss the days of jokes about how bad fruitcakes are and like, gilligan’s island. Why don’t we reference gilligan’s island anymore?!

I’m hijacking your reply to post this Edward Gorey fruitcake art I found on eBay when I was looking for that little book:

It’s from a greeting card with a pub date of, you guessed it, 1990! 

I really want to like that podcast in general but I get so frustrated by the dissecting of lyrics for a literal meaning. Like, we’re all aware that ALL lyrics to songs are mostly fun-sounding poetic garbage right? I mean Peter Gabriel said “open up your fruit cage” on Sledgehammer and the man is a GENIUS. Sorry my rant is over now

I tend to agree! Lyrics: 

We don’t need to deconstruct them or rip them apart like we’re cross-examining a witness. Mock Trial.

does the presence of Zouks make it worth it?

I would say just fast forward to his and/or Andrea Savage’s scenes.  There’s a good scene where she’s holding their toddler child and I got a good chuckle imagining the casting people seeing different curly-haired children that could play a Mantzoukas/Savage offspring.

In the context of Jason’s “They Came Together” role it’s very strange because as ~edgy as this writer tries to be, it’s very much playing straight the romcom tropes that TCT skewered. Like there was a scene between the Jasons where I expected Zouks to go crashing through the office window.  

this is me with using "gifted" as a verb. just say they gave you a gift!
