Little Sayers Fan Things: While jotting down notes in a Google Doc on my technique for making chicken stock from the leftover carcase of a roasted bird, spellcheck pointed out that I had misspelled "carcass."

#I got my first slow cooker and am adapting my stovetop recipe #“Only needs enough water to cover the carcase” was the offending sentence #dorothy l sayers #lord peter wimsey

The first verse of "Super Trouper" by ABBA actually says "I was sick and tired of everything / when I called you last night from Glasgow," but for some reason when I was listening to it just now I heard "I was sick and tired of everything when I called you last night from Tesco," and that is an ENTIRELY different vibe. Immediately goes from "world-weary rockstar grows tired of their jetsetting life" to "I have absolutely lost control of my life and am spiraling under florescent lights."

#I'm American #I've never been to Tesco #I don't know why my brain is like this #Abba #super trouper

Gentiles welcome as long as you know what matzo brei is and you've made it or had it made for you at home. Please reblog!

tbh I hope "other" dominates and I find out you absolute freaks are all putting peanut butter or cheez wiz or kimchi on your fried matzo.

I just think this says a lot about the change in both internet humor and the state of the world in the last 17 years.

#41 #For the record when I first heard it I thought it was a portmanteau of “stalker fan” #Ok actually the VERY first time I saw it was on a post about the Winter Soldier so I thought it referred to Sebastian Stan fans #But as soon as I had a second data point I assumed stalker fan #I vaguely remember hearing about the song when it came out but I didn't run into the word until years later so I didn't connect them

#I love to see kids learning about their heritage #the top comment on that video is currently “damn it really wasn't a rickroll huh” #btw it's from a 2006 film titled “Virgin Territory” #Can you believe that insane segment is the intro to a film with such a basic-ass porn title???

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

To peel something means to remove the peel from it. To coat something means to add a coat to it. To dust something can mean either one. Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold; mere anarchy is loosed upon the English language.

In French they say "80 blaze it"

You children need to treat yourselves to the seminal 1995 French film The City of Lost Children (La cité des enfants perdus). It's sci-fi, it's goth, it's cyberpunk and steampunk at the same time. It has Ron Perlman, an American who does not speak French, in a lead role. It's amazing, and there's even an English dub out there if you absolutely can't handle subtitles. GO GET YOUR LIFE RIGHT.

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

#I honestly can't even wrap my brain around these pronunciations #“Mighty” doesn't even make sense in English! There are two Ts! #Do you pronounce “baguette” like “bag-oo-tay”???

"I don't eat meat 'cause I'm a veterinarian" actually makes perfect sense, since both behaviors indicate a love of animals. In this essay, I will

Thought, "Do churches all look alike, or do I know this one?"

Yeah, I know this one

The Librarians - "And the Dark Secret"

Leverage - "The Boys' Night Out Job"

My roommate and I watched all of Leverage twice through during the first two years of the pandemic. Then we watched The Librarians, and I kept forgetting Jacob's name and calling him "Smart Eliot."

Then we watched Almost Paradise, which of course stars Christian Kane as "Dad Eliot."

Gave in and started watching Librarians. I'm barely half in the first episode and El- I'm sorry, Jacob Stone feels like a grift persona Leverage Inc will cook up as a cover. I keep waiting for El- pardon, Jacob and Flynn to start talking through the comms randomly

#Also Noah Wyle plays two characters on Leverage: Redemption #Outside the cons he's a ex-corporate lawyer grappling with his immoral past #Then whenever he actually has to try grifting he just becomes Flynn Carsen #Christian Kane #Leverage #The Librarians #Dean Devlin
