And the general term for it is "kitsch," of course

Is that a kitchon or a kitchoff?

As a Hoosier, this is a truly *bonkers* map. It's too bizarre to even be mad at. I'm just befuddled.

Yeah, I am also too old for it and only know about it secondhand. But as I understand it, it's played as a joke.

"Strong floors. The ceiling is 20x the poverty line."

"With a strong safety net, the sky's the limit."

That's good.

How about "Strong floors, and we raise the roof together"?

Maybe too clunky, but I like the idea of everyone being uplifted simultaneously better.

There was an episode where he and his friend were warming themselves around a fire. The under-the-sea-ness of the show wasn't exactly a priority for the writers.

Nobody has ever picked up a drink coaster thinking it was a piece of pie.

Oreos? Fine with milk, "eh" without. Peanut butter cookies? Fine, at best. Sugar cookies? Mediocre. Then you get into the Chips Ahoy realm of "barely eatable," and eventually totally crumb-y, dusty, inedible nonsense.

You want to talk a dessert with a ceiling of "fine" and a median of "bad?" You are talking about cookies, my friend.

Fresh, warm chocolate chip cookies break the curve as "delightful," but other than that, you're talking "fine" through "mediocre," followed by a *very* steep dive into "bad."

The person who invented cake, taking it out of the oven and tasting it: "mmm...well, that could be better...maybe if I slather some *more* sugar on it?"

The person who invented pie, taking it out of the oven and tasting it:

(nothing, because they just dropped dead from pure bliss)

And I haven't even made my way over to savory pies yet. Pot pies, of course, and hand pies, mm yes. But you know what's also a savory pie? PIZZA, MY FRIEND. Modern ambrosia. Have you ever had a truly bad pizza? CHECKMATE

In fact, this so-called "Nick" is trying to say, 'oh, cheesecake is way better than pie...' BUDDY BOY CHEESECAKE *IS* PIE

Yeah, it's got "cake" in the name, but news flash: there's no ham in hamburgers either.

CRUST, FILLING. CHEESECAKE IS PIE.

You're gonna sit here, on Beyonce's internet, and tell me that lemon meringue, key lime, pumpkin, apple, chess, coconut cream, chocolate cream, banana cream, pecan, and peach pies are *all* as good or worse than a basic, moist confetti cake (the most "fine" dessert)?

I don't honestly think I've ever had a truly *bad* pie. The median pie (apple) is better than all but the best cake (german chocolate). The worst pie (sweet potato) is still better than the best bad dessert (angel food cake).

Oh yeah, VFX. That really sells it, I can totally see it now

The only reason I don't believe it is that I doubt Trump is capable of anything approaching good posture
