mods asleep post Trans Popeye

Popeye in a pretty dress walking down a cliff side with his horse, saying "CAREFUL - HORSH - IT'S STEEP - WE'RE GOIN' DOWN INTO BLACK VALLEY NOW"

A cruel man and his henchman -- the hench says "Boss, that gal I was tellin' you about got a job at the 'Thirst-Killer' dancin'" while the man says "SO? HMMM..."

Meanwhile, Popeye is in an incredibly short skirt and tank top, with one of his legs so far behind his back that you can't see it, saying "HERE'S A STEP I LEARN'T WHEN I WAS IN THE FOLLIES. ME LEF' LEG IS STRAIGHT OUT IN BACK OF ME"

The tough guy, at Popeye in his short skirt, saying exasperatedly "YOU DISH-FACED, SCRAWNY, LITTLE, ONE-EYED, HALF-WITTED SPECK OF DIRT - I SAID - WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

To which Popeye replies, in a cutie-pie pose, "I wouldn't marry no man wich is willin' to marry a gal as arful as I yam!"

we all are taught to fear certain mythological monsters from a young age - boogiemen, freddy kruger, spooky faces, the british - but we have to accept that they're just not real if we're going to become reasonable adults, you can't be scared of spooky faces every time you take the trash out at night

There's nothing wrong with Hooters per se, but only a deeply sexually repressed society would be capable of producing Hooters. It's wild that it existed alongside Applebee's and Chilli's. Yeah man let's go to the psychosexual chicken wing place.

"I want to watch sports and eat chicken wings but I also want to constantly be aware that every waitress in this restaurant was hired for her fat tits. No I want them to be clothed the whole time. I just wanna know that like, in the background."

Any upstanding pervert could come up with a strip club. That's good honest fun. But even a normal pervert couldn't come up Hooters. You gotta be a pervert who doesn't even know you're a pervert.

Poorly edited version of the original image replacing all instances of the word "2004" with "24 karat," and editing "FELL OLD YET?" to say "FEEL GOLD YET?"

"The Monster Club" (1981) is an insanely goofy horror anthology with some of the dopiest lore you will ever hear. Vincent Price has to do an exposition dump early on about all the various mixes of monster species that includes words like "vamgoos" and "shadmocks"

🎶Well Mr. Burns had done it,
The power plant had won it,
With Roger Clemens clucking all the while,
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile,
While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the barroom tile...
We're talkin' softball...
From Maine to San Diego.
Talkin' softball...
Mattingly and Canseco.
Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw.
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law.
We're talkin' Homer... Ozzie and the Straw.🎶

A PSA: If you own a PSP, check on its battery! Mine was dangerously swollen and I wouldn't've noticed if it weren't for the fact that it was SO swollen it forced the battery cover off on its own. Crisis Averted!

Swollen PSP battery from the side, the bottom is notably not flat against the table

This was one of the coolest things about working on the Lord of the Rings Magic set. Need another setpiece? Well there's one sentence where Treebeard says Galadriel solo'd an entire orc army so let's depict that shit.

one of my favorite lord of the ring-isms the movies carry over from the books is that tolkien isn't really an action writer, so we're always hearing about the coolest shit gandalf and saruman did that sorry you just missed it but it slapped it was real anime

imagine never having to hear hakeem jeffries talk again. he could campaign on that alone.

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)
