The Bar is a physical piece of furniture, a low fence or wall with a gate in it, separating the audience from the court proceedings. Becoming a lawyer is “being admitted to the Bar” so you can be on the other side of it and practice law.
Not even John Goodman could pass the Barr exam.
“She skewers you.”
“We’re getting skewered again? Doesn’t she, y’know, ever change this up?”
“‘Fraid not. Stabby implements of various sorts are the focus of this love story. Anyway. Skewered. You.”
We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, sat down. Man came in said, “All rise.” We all stood up, and Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he sat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog. And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry, 'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American blind justice, and there wasn’t nothing he could do about it, and the judge wasn’t going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us.
And here I thought my English was pretty good, and I thought you just made this up!

I didn’t even question that this is the verb a fox would use to laugh with.
March of the Dreadnoughts, from Final Fantasy XIII!

I think it’s my favorite instrumental piece of music.
Portland’s done it too. If you want plastic bags, they’re big and reusable and fairly expensive. Paper is really the only option at most places now. That said, I really wanna see the reusable cheap plastic ones banned, cause no one really reuses them.
Submitting to the Journal of Useful Bullshit.
Some fancy academic website will charge us $40 to read our own work and we won’t get paid.
As someone who adores the thirteen trilogy so much that I play through all three games several times a year and model my wardrobe and aesthetic off of it, I can respect there would be people that absolutely hate the game, but it hurts a bit inside.
This thing’s so good.
Personal favorites include Campanella 2, Magic Garden, and Attactics.
Yeah but she’s a garbage human being.
This was the second act of Shion Sono’s movie “Tag,” yeah?
“The Savage Mouth” by Komatsu Sakyou, which involves
A man eating himself in a locked hotel room and relishing every bite. Very body horror, much terrifying, cops rule it a homicide
Or “Cogwheels” by Ryuunosuke Akutagawa, which
ends abruptly with the author’s real-world suicide. Story is the thinnest veneer of fiction, and at some point I think he just stopped writing a story and was trying therapy on a page, then gave the fuck up on everything.
I started out as a quizmaster, telling quiz for a night a week. I’d open my show with a new 45-second bit each week, built audience numbers over time.
Then I realized I’d been doing this for years, and was an incredibly prolific comic! I had enough material I could just walk out onto a stage and just lengthen out my opening bits, cause I no longer had a quiz to tell that night!
“I’m a stand-up comic.”
“Ooh! Heckle me!”
“I don’t know anything about you and don’t wanna say anything mean about you. Just enjoy the moment without getting a performer to do free work for you.”
“You’re no fun.”
“Don’t have to be on all the time, let me eat my burger.”
Jason Pargin is a goddamn hero.
