I rented this just to make my friends watch it, and they loved the ending.

But it definitely isn’t a good movie.

Yeah, if I got that many calls, you’d be 100% correct. I get maybe five calls a week.

Similarly, my ringtone is the dun-Dun-DUNNN from bad mysteries, aka Professor Professorson’s ringtone from Community.

I’ve never seen someone annoyed when mine has gone off in public. I am rarely in public though.

The hobo code and hobo nickels made it into the game too. It was fairly comprehensive.

John Hodgman wrote the book The Areas of My Expertise, which has a list of hobo names for some bizarre reason.

Kingdom of Loathing, in making a multi-player clan hobo dungeon, used that list of names as a random hobo name generator, and then named the boss of the whole place Hodgman, the Hoboverlord.

I went to a standup show where Hodgman was supposed to do a set and he had cancelled, replaced with Brian Posehn. Brian was also awesome but I really wanted to tell John Hodgman how he inadvertently saved my life.

Now the details of how you get that specific item are even weirder but I’m done phone typing.

I once helped someone get a Hodgman’s Imaginary Hamster and in return he gifted me a few IRL pot plants (Super Lemon Haze, a damn good strain) that I used to pull myself and my Dad out of a pit.

Game inadvertently saved our lives, and I still haven’t gotten to thank John Hodgman.

(Yes, the game is that insane and silly. Getting that damn hamster requires at least 10 people working together.)

Very good and very silly game.

To prove it’s safe, he will have… Don Jr do a line in a live conference.

I’m 50. I was playing M:tG back in high school. Revised was the unlimited set out at the time. I thought they were overdoing the expansions back then.

Now it all seems remarkably silly to me with all the licensed stuff, and I’m glad I gave it up 30 years ago.

It was fun at the time but now it’s too exhausting to keep up with.

I knew that and it took all day for it to percolate that I’d learned it from Kingdom of Loathing.

I think this is because he was still learning how to act and taking it seriously.

In his later classics, he had developed his persona, which included maintaining his Austrian accent that was so key to his brand.

In a sense, he now mainly plays that character, and any other roles are seen through that lens. But with Conan, he was more flexible of an actor.

It really doesn’t help that most people use /s not when they’re being sarcastic but when they are mocking those with opposing views.

Unfortunately it’s hard to employ such mockery in text as you just end up repeating the arguments you’re trying to refute.

I’m always amused at the downvotes it collects. People hammering a button to acknowledge their dislike of something they are choosing to not block.

My only problem with these bots is that I don’t want them counted toward comments - I hate going in to find the only comments are bots.
