"So?" Vince stared at Matt across the café table. Matt had just finished reading the draft post and was squirming in his chair.

Vince recognized the squirm. "Dude, do you have a boner right now??"

"What! A man can't read the words 'cheeky yet impenetrable' and get a boner? Oh let's all celebrate Vince, king of not getting boners!"

Used to this dynamic, the café staff ignored the pair.

Last time I ghost busted icicles was when I cranked it to that Anna Nicole Smith doc during a blizzard.

This set of words brought to you by the weird almost rotten banana I had for lunch.

It says a lot about our friendship that I didn't bat an eye at jerking it to a dead chic but eating a rotten banana made me say "Ew".

Poster of the Week: Coup de Chance.

I can picture the Cuck in the middle walking jauntily down the street whistling show tunes, doffing his cap to young women and giving conspiratorial winks to little kids. Then he rounds a corner and sees his wife having a laugh with this goddamn frog, and the photographer captures the exact moment when his life goes down the shitter.

Love it.

Also: you get 3 consecutive names that are certified French as toast, then you run up against the guy who lost German name of the year to Fritz Krautmänn.

Brian Cox is Scottish. I've seen him in some comedic/semi-comedic stuff on BritBox. "Coup de chance" I'm sure it involves young love, infidelity and maybe some crimes & misdemeanors or...le meutre.. It also features another actor with a supercaliFRENCHalistic name: Guillaume de Tonquedec (who probably plays a detective). Maybe it's got a "Match Point" vibe but with an old guy.

So this is the movie that Thor chose while complaining about Marvel movies? Huh.

Is that one lady behind Adam in Extraction 2 not shooty enough to be the poster’s focus? She’s at least focused on something in the image, unlike Adam who looks like someone ate the last of his favorite snack offscreen

As a childless adult, I thought Bluey had supplanted Paw Patrol as the dog-based children's property du jour.

Seeing Biosphere regardless, but do you think Duplass and SKB are gonna, you know...

My kid is definitely into Bluey, by which I mean he mostly likes to dance to the theme song before losing interest. Good show though.

Bluey is miiiiiiles better than most other forms of children's entertainment.

Also Paw Patrol is pablum, but people who go out of their way to get offended by it need to go jerk it in a blizzard.

You are giving off some mad "cold onanism fetishist" vibes up in here today.
