People who live in big cities will say stuff like Well if youre bored why dont you take the public transportation to your local artisanal cheesemonger

And they're right

Rainy Day Ghost

We're just going to keep getting stronger and kinder and weirder, okay?

last poll of the quarterfinals!

Gene Wilder (Bonnie and Clyde, The Producers)—Gene Wilder's first starring role was a pathetic little guy who was lured into committing crimes and panicked about it, then continued committing the same crimes in prison!

Peter Lorre (The Maltese Falcon, Arsenic and Old Lace, Casablanca)—to me he DEFINES scrungle hes the first person i think of every time the term comes up! i want to fold him up like a paper accordion and put him in my pocket. guy that spawned a million voice artists and impersonators. they made a ghost version of him for halloween cereal staple boo berry. bewitched by his nervous mania and tooth gap <3 (for the purposes of propaganda im linking a photo from his extremely short appearance in muscle beach party bc ive been obsessed w it for years and i couldnt find any video for it :/ anyway imagine youre frankie avalon spending the whole movie battling a bodybuilder faction thats taking over your beach and your girl and then you find out this fucking guy is their mastermind mystery leader and hes stronger than all the bodybuilders combined. like Huh. What.)

These are the the quarterfinals for the scrungly little guy contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you’re confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

Last Saturday was seventeen years from the day we found the best cat I've ever known.

Next Saturday is a year since we lost him.

My phone is trying to make me cry at work.

every opera production would be made funnier/possibly better if you had one of the characters give a powerpoint presentation

Litterally Leporello when he's explaining to Donna Elvira the statistics of Don Giovanni's seductions.

So i made a thing...

Happy Whan That Aprille Day!

So, as every right-thinking person does, I follow LeVostreGC on Twitter, and have been a huge fan of the blog that he hath for years now. Plus, several weeks ago, I bought a bunch of badass 3D printed cookie cutters off of Etsy, including this one. I knew I wanted to do something with it for the festive day in question, but I didn’t have time to make cookies, so I decided to make a Grilled Chaucer instead. Just pressing it into the cheese didn’t work too well, but I had some blue food coloring powder left over from my Mario Bento, and that wound up giving me a tolerably serviceable image of the great man and his little woolen hat. (It’s better in person than in the photo.)

I filled out the box with a variety of spring foods that I thought Chaucer might enjoy. Though I wouldn’t attempt to claim 100% authenticity, I did consult A Chaucerian Cookery for inspiration, and came up with spiced honeyed walnuts, a lady apple, some fresh spring peas with Criseyde watercress, butter, salt, and nutmeg, some berries and edible flowers on a bed of sorrel, plus a honey cake with figs, almonds, cinnamon, anise, sesame, and muscatel, which I figured worked better for the obligatory Swich Licour element than my wife’s original suggestion, Red Vines soaked in Amaretto. (Ew.)

So join me in celebrating good ol’ Geoff and all his works. Lat us maken melodye!

Idea: shapeshifting Papagena who's actually been popping up on stage in various bird forms throughout the play.

She's been keeping an eye on Papageno for a while now. Also she's the real reason the Queen of Night needs so many birds: she wants to capture her but doesn't know what she looks like because Papagena keeps shifting to different species. So the Queen just has Papageno bring her birds every day until she finds the right one.(Papagena keeps escaping him)

Um, LOVE THIS, but will also add that this whole headcanon makes me want to read Papagena as some sort of internationally wanted criminal mastermind whom no one can actually manage to identify and arrest. The Queen of the Night can't find her, despite the ongoing efforts of her best bird-catcher! Sarastro has no freaking idea she's wandering around his kingdom, bothering people who are undergoing trials! She's like the Carmen Sandiego of this weird fantasy world! And sure, Papagena is genuinely *thrilled* to settle down and play cottagecore for a bit with her cute goofy guy, whom she's finally created an excuse to approach and court. But in a few months, when she gets wind that all the powers that be are on her trail, she's going on the lam and dragging Papageno off on a bunch of insane adventures that will make Tamino's quest look like child's play.

BRITT PLAYING THE SEVERANCE THEME ON THE TRUMPET <3333

if i was a pole dancer i would have a routine called "rat apocalypse" where it starts normal but then a swarm of furious rats is released onto the stage and i have to perform elaborate dance moves in order to stay high enough on the pole so the rats dont bite me

I'm afraid I have some bad news...
