The board game Orgy (which came out in 1986, according to Wikipedia, which is 20 years later than I would have guessed) came with a porron.

Don't forget the potty humor and lack of volume control.

ETA: It occurs to me it's not clear if I'm talking about the baby or YouTubers.

You could call them The Silent Generation.

No, wait...

Episode #93 - Stop Sign (www.almostplausible.com)
 

Apple // Spotify // AlmostPlausible.com

In 1957, a stop sign made from a high-strength alloy was accidentally launched into space during a test nuclear explosion. Now the stop sign has orbited the sun and is on its way back toward Earth. Scientists calculate it will hit the White House, so evasive action is taken, with disastrous (and hilarious) results.

In my last house, the previous owners left a folder with information about various known quirks, which came in handy. They also left manuals for things like the stove and fireplace, as well as contact info for contractors they had used over the years. It ended up being a sort of owner's manual for the house that we really appreciated. We did the same when we moved out.

My current house... There's an under-cabinet CD player/radio in the kitchen that I almost never use, and the previous owners left the soundtrack to the Trolls movie in it, so I guess there's that?

Whoa, that last sentence. 😬

Seriously. I'm in my 40s and this is the first time I've ever had any sense of scale for red blood cells. Very cool!

Washington would fit right in. Western Washington is already a lot like British Columbia, and Eastern Washington is already a lot like Alberta.

Hooray! I hope you like it. :)

A podcast called Almost Plausible, where a couple of friends and I take an ordinary object (such as a ceiling fan, a paperclip, or a toilet brush) and we create a movie plot based on that object.

You can find the show anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Welcome to Almost Plausible! (self.almostplausible)
 

Hey story fans!

Welcome to Almost Plausible, a podcast where three friends make up stories, usually in the form of a movie plot, where something unexpected takes a central or critical role in the story.

Each episode starts with a brief pitch session, where we take turns sharing the ideas we’ve come up with for each episode’s topic. After we’ve heard all the pitches, we pick one, develop it, and hopefully come up with a story that’s at least almost plausible.

It's fun, funny, and it all happens in under an hour.

The show is free, and new episodes drop every other Tuesday. You can subscribe wherever you regularly listen to podcasts, such as: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or directly via our RSS feed.
