places in oven

"Honey what's that awful smell?"

"Who knows. Probably the neighbor's leaf blower"

Five minutes go by

"It smells like cancer"

"Maybe they are sealcoating their driveway, I don't know, stop asking me"

Twenty five minutes later

Opens oven

"Fuck"

Retching, coughing "Sweet baby Jesus, what the FUCK is that?! Melted plastic? On my new casserole dish?!"

"Open a goddamn window"

"Open all the fucking windows"

"Mommy why is the house stinky"

"Charlie go play outside"

"But Daddy--"

"I SAID GO OUTSIDE CHARLIE"

from outside "Daddy it smells out here too, the neighbors are doing something black to their driveway"

Nah. Dr. Pepper is from the 1800s. I don't think women were allowed to be doctors back then, so Dr. Pepper being male is a fair assumption.

The USSR had great success in many areas

The PRC struggled during the Great Leap Forward

You seem to be papering over the part where a shit ton of their own people died, so I don't think this really works as a pitch. You'd need to find a way to ensure that mass death wouldn't happen again, and then succinctly express it.

Mao was only about 70% good

Anyone who does mass executions is a fucking monster. Probably better to leave this out of the pitch.

In the original Broadway poster and the fan edit, it looks like they're up to something--there's some mischievousness at play, some wickedness.

I don't really know what the full-face one is supposed to convey.

No miming, no eye signals, one. Word.

Oh interesting, we always allow miming in Round 2. It's a good way to "prime" your teammates for Round 3...but I could see why that'd be undesirable

roughly $100 million to market and distribute.

And yet this is the first time I'm hearing that it's out

Could you imagine it, though? Imagine dragons?

Even the individual days go by so fast though

E3 2004! The HYPEST

We met Reggie, who's about kicking ass and taking names.

And the DS is revealed...and it COMES OUT THAT YEAR?! Whaaaaaa

I was so hyped. I started saving my pennies right away.

The multiplayer experience was unbelievable. No cables, no square box thing to play more than 2 players. And you didn't even need multiple copies of the game! Just all play Mario Kart!

The thumb strap was a neat idea, but not the easiest in practice. Though I did find it great for aiming in the Metroid FPS game, much better than the stylus.

And OF COURSE it was backwards compatible!

Loved it. Beautiful machine. I still have 2 DS Lites that work.

 

Received this email. Blech.
