Before you block me, know that I was "a pleasure to have in class" on multiple occasions

I put public domain videos behind my karaoke videos because it's fun to watch while singing. And most of the time I can tell why I picked the video I used.

But sometimes, it's a complete mystery what I was thinking.

Thank you. I'll work through it

One time my parents were in Oslo and saw this hanging in a gallery window and were all, "What the fuck?"

Was rocking olive green for years, but the seams at the wrist started shredding.

I rarely buy myself any nice clothing, so when my last American Giant hoodie started to give up the ghost my wife went and ordered me a nice, fresh, hefty, comfy, new one.

My kids are getting old enough where I don't need to keep an eye on them every second or be at their beck and call.

Which means I can have time to myself on the weekends. It feels weird.

Welp, looks like JD Vance will have to make another visit.

I'm starting to enjoy Voyager, post-season 2.

It's true! It's like he pulled the emergency eject and that was that.

Kes said they needed time apart, but that's while she was inhabited by a warlord. And then, 2 episodes later, "Since you and Neelix broke up..."

aric @aghastronaut.com · 1d

Also, Neelix and Kes broke up. But we never saw it?

9-year-old: Can we go to the Wendy's tomorrow that was playing that adult show?

aric @aghastronaut.com · Sep 6

At Wendy's with the kids. They're sitting down in a lounge area while I'm ordering. I come over and they tell me, excitedly, "We're watching 'Law & Order!'" Which is so funny.

And guess who's the guest! Michael McKean.

You know, the last time I had fully loaded nachos was probably with @tomlommel.com

Damn, now I'm thinking it was Teenagers from Outer Space.

I don't know the first MST3K episode I saw. As a kid, I remember these silhouettes coming on Comedy Central and being drawn in during the random timeslots I'd catch them on.

But I think "Gamera vs. Guiron" could be considered my first. Or most vividly remembered.

What the...

Oswald getting shot by Jack Ruby, but one of those coin operated Chicken Machines is there. The one that gives you colorful plastic eggs with toys inside?

A meme including frames from American Movie. Jay is strangling Bluesky users. Mastodon users are sitting outside listening to classical music on their headphones.

Y'all I found it. The absolute most absurd, outrageous, bizarre, and fucking hilarious pearl clutching reason someone doesn't like people saying skeets.

Actually, yes, sorry, it IS ok to complain about using that word.

Absolutely inappropriate word. I'm with Jay on this.

Aside from anything else, it implies only men can post, as women can't produce semen.

Half way through season 3, a new Vulcan shows up as a crewmate. How did the son of sportscaster Dick Enberg and Voyager producer Jeri Taylor land a role on...oh.
