That's really nice, I like that interpretation a lot! Sort of "This man wrote so well he might as well have been a Klingon."

That line always annoyed the fuck out of me. They couldn't make up an equally vitally important Klingon author and then compare them?

Nope, just a throwaway joke.

TK = transitional kindergarten, kind of a pre-kindergarten, for anyone confused.

Of course the complaining parents are clearly in the wrong here. Nothing about sexuality is being discussed, only pronouns, respect, and learning/responding to social cues.

But the 'extreme' young age of the children will be the focus to most, unfortunately.

Sounds like 'Free Guy', and I'm curious to see what they're doing with the premise.

Could also be "those words sound similar, are they also spelled similarly?"

Regardless I think the joke was "Remember when your worries were so innocent and minor?"

It looks like they're in the Dreamatorium.

I ordered my wife's gift a few days ago and over the weekend we planned what we will gift to family members.

In years past I've gotten gifts as much as eight months early if I found the perfect gift.

Back in 2002 or so I got the perfect gift for my now ex-brother in law. He was a huge Hitchcock fan and a coworker who collected life masks ended up with an extra Hitchcock.

Now life masks were made for special effects in movies, and were essentially a cast of the head used to make models.

For most of a year I had a paper bag on my living room table, the top neatly folded over.

I got to experience the joy, over and over, of people asking what was in the bag, telling them it was "Alfred Hitchcock's head," and seeing the shocked reaction when Hitchcock stared back up at them.

And the jerk of my ex-brother in law loved it too.

Edit: I figured I'd put in an image of an identical life mask, what people would see when they peek into the bag:

That would've been so much funnier if you'd used the backslash.

Smuggler, or kink?

Are you sure about that? Billionaires have a lot of reach in hiding shit they don't like.

Wasn't even employed for a month. What a total piece of shit.

I will never regret having been a good person. I get to keep that even when all else can be taken.
