Great work!

In your position think I would have put Spencer Tracy as the first one, and probably Burgess Meredith in there somewhere as well.

Vincent Price, maybe.

we all know I have no life, so:

Kaiju (but make it haiku)

a fiery sigh
Tokyo isn't going to step
on itself, is it?

With the honourable exception of the Charlie Cale regeneration.

In a similar vein, I used to joke that the perfume blasted out from branches of The Body Shop did a good job of masking the smell.

Depluralize a movie:

Lion & Prejudice

Samuel Johnson once wrote that patriotism was the last refuge of a scoundrel.

He might have changed his mind if he'd ever seen someone claim to have read classified government documents confirming contact with extraterrestrials.

He looks like someone tried to make a waxwork of William Shatner from memory.

If someone writes three or four paragraphs of invective about how

(a) something isn't funny, and
(b) that they know better about how to be funny,

...I would have thought, if the latter was true, they'd put a joke or two in there. You're certainly correct about the bitterness.

Perhaps better: Brian transplant

I've got a pet grooming joke, but it's kind of a shaggy dog story.

"Drug inquiry smokes out Blunt"

"Blunt passed to Director of Public Prosecutions"

John Harvey Kellogg would have been a good fit for that crowd of nutjobs.

For what it's worth, I've always thought Len Deighton's anonymous spy got a name for the movies by, broadly, the following process:

- "He doesn't need a name, he's just... some wanker!"

- "Hairy Palms?"

- "Hairy Palmer?"

- "Harry Palmer."

- "Close enough, that'll do."

I've always assumed it's a pun on "Hairy Palmer". He's just some wanker or other.

There are unconfirmed reports of chuckling from the graves of Anthony Eden and Guy Mollet.

❌ Mohawk
❌ Evenmohawk
❌ Waymohawk
✅ Moshawk

I wonder if Diss Town FC walk onto the pitch with The Specials playing.

Anyone else expecting that when this LLM investment bubble pops, a bunch of cultist loons will claim the collapse was a plot to thwart a sentient AI that "they" don't want you to know about?

Absolutely nothing!

Say it again!

It's not just a jar of condemned olives, it's a metaphor for the impermanence of life.

A pimento mori, if you will.

I enjoyed reading this, and you might too.

Is "Squelchy Belgian Welder Penguin" a tongue-twister?

I'm part way through watching Star Trek: Discovery and really, really hoping Reno and Stamets never warm to each other.

I expect the producers pitched some saccharine episode where they learned to like each other. And if sanity prevailed, they would have been told, in not so few words, to fuck off.

Trying to work out if it's a healthy attitude that, having encountered a bit of mainstream entertainment that vibes remarkably well with me, my next thought is "hey, am I being pandered to?".

Jackson wore a glove to hide his vitiligo, this asshole is wearing a glove to hide his hand turning black.

Time to wheel this one out again.
