Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love... 🎥🖤
On a movie poster for a movie called The Paper, a man sits in a chair with his feet up on a stack of newspapers. A pregnant woman, an older man, a woman in a taupe pantsuit and a man in jeans and a sports coat stand behind him.

Biopics never work, but they might work for us!
Four panels show a man and woman talking in a room. White text across the photos displays the following dialogue: The man says: “You know how every famous musician has had a biopic made about their life? Well what if we made not one Beatles biopic, but four separate Beatles biopics?” The woman asks: “Well did it work for those people?” The man responds: “No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but… But it might work for us.”

This is the year. The year I give my best friend’s kid a bunch of Calvin and Hobbes books. RIP to her coffee table.
A four-panel comic strip shows a boy using a hammer to pound nails randomly into a coffee table. In the second panel, his mother runs toward him saying “CALVIN! What are you doing to the coffee table?!?” He thinks about it in the third panel, and in the fourth asks her “Is this some sort of trick question, or what?”

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
The album cover for Murder Ballads by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds features a painting of a cabin in the snow. There is a Parental Advisory sticker warning of explicit lyrics.

And this is the Chairman Meow who liked being where he was not allowed and clean laundry. He had two bald spots right above his eyes that made him look perpetually grouchy because he liked to let Imelda lick his head.

This is Imelda, who loved nothing so much as sleeping like a shrimp and lazing on my roommate’s ratty brown sweater and sort of tolerated wearing hats.
A black cat is curled up on a blue pillow like a shrimp. A black cat with green eyes looks murderous while wearing a pink axolotl hat. A black cat is loafing on a brown sweater spread out on a bed.

I’ve started performing what my friend Mitzy calls the Pickwick Roll.

It’a when I ask her if she can answer a question and then say: “Which of the Pickwick Triplets did it?”

It works best like the Ring, where you have to pass it along to the next person or the song gets stuck in your head.
A blue text bubble says “Hey! So I have a very important question for you.” A grey text bubble responds “Fire away.” The blue text bubble continues with: “Sorry, I can’t chat on the phone but I just wanted to gauge your interest in something I have been wondering lately. And that is. Which of the Pickwick Triplets did it?” A grey text bubble says “Fire away.” The blue text bubble responds with: “Sorry, I can’t chat on the phone but I just wanted to gauge your interest in something I have been wondering lately. And that is. Which of the Pickwick Triplets did it? Like, who of the crew would commit this crime, you know?” A blue text bubble says “Tanis sent me a question and I don’t know so I thought I would ask you.” A grey text bubble responds “Sure, I can give it my best.” The blue text bubble asks “Which of the Pickwick Triplets did it?” The grey text bubble responds “Dammit Mitzy!”

Hot take: these should be in every store in the country. All the other drinks of the 90s did not last, but these, these are the shit.

I choose not to dwell on yesterday’s Jays loss, but on today’s potential! Happy Thanksgiving all! Hope you enjoy some pie and October baseball!

I would very much buy this:
A screen cap of an Instagram post shows a logo featuring a cartoon blue jay in a suit singing into an old-timey radio microphone inside a white circle with a red maple leaf. The words “start spreading the news, bitches” in white font is stretched around the white circle.

Post a fictional comedian who definitely would accept an invitation to the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

Saw Beetlejuice at a drive-in when I was eight and this scene scared me very badly!
Two mummified people wearing wedding clothes and lit with a spooky green light give each other a worried look. A mummified bride with long reddish hair and a mummified groom who is missing his jaw look alarmed.
