We had a political group dedicated to pieing people in the face here in Canada a couple of decades ago. I wish this would make a comeback but even in the 90s people's lives were ruined

when a dark secret from your past threatens to destroy the new idyllic life you've created for yourself

little yorkie named Rupert sitting in a big pinky beige-colored blanket, leaning up against a dark brown leather couch. there is a potted plant behind him, he's wearing a tiny terracotta sweater. he has a very William H Macy-in-Fargo expression on his face, like he's nervously smiling.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Personally, I blame the dude in the butt plug shirt. That’s some unserious shithead energy to bring into big game.
