I just want to say that "SBUDNIC" is a fantastic name. Have you considered making a NASA-style arm patch for the mission? I'm picturing an orbiting potato.

Reply to LPT: Stick an old receipt under your windshield wiper. It will resemble a parking ticket and you may avoid getting one. by [deleted]
This shit hasn't worked since the 80s. Parking enforcement knows if the car has been ticketed before they even look at the windshield.

Reply to comment by KosmicTom in We're scientists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the world's largest animal rights organization, here to talk about the Research Modernization Deal, the first comprehensive plan to phase out animal experiments. Ask us anything! by [deleted]
It's hilarious. PETA puts the "pet" in sockpuppeting.

The people of Perth are very sensible about names. That's why they call themselves Perthlings.

I can relate to this because I also have a problem with an excess of ass meat.

This comedy video will help. It's about 20 minutes long, by Boy Boy, featuring I Did A Thing and some dudes from The Chaser I guess.
How Much Money Can We Launder In A Day?
Basically, a dude was a whistleblower pointing out how casinos and slot machines are incredibly easily used for money laundering. In response, the casinos tried to utterly ruin his life, both via the legal system and by firebombing his house.

Reply to TIL that Norman Lear has produced, written, created or developed over 100 shows, including "All in the Family", "Sanford and Son" and "The Jeffersons". He's now 100 years old, and still actively producing television shows - most recently, a revival of "Good Times". by TelescopiumHerscheli
There was a brief time in the 70s when he had 6 sitcoms on TV at the same time.

Reply to A few days ago several unaired TV pilots were leaked on Internet Archive. Have you watched any from the list and what were your thoughts? by HRJafael
Holy shit, this is awesome. I remember some of these, like Saint Francis, which is a comedy starring Michael Imperioli and Paget Brewster.
The writing is painfully terrible.

This looks prehistoric, before grasses evolved, when ferns dominated.

I'm gonna use this guy's name as the protagonist for my 80's style karate revenge movie. In one of the fight scenes, Keith Creel crane-kicks a dude's head clean off.

Reply to LPT: If you want someone’s attention and they seem to be ignoring you, getting reasonably close to them and whispering is much more effective for getting them to pay attention to you than yelling. It gently grabs their attention and their curiosity. by [deleted]
This trick has been used by kindergarten teachers as well as bar bouncers. Speak softly, and they have to shut up in order to hear what you're saying. Also, if you need to remove a toddler and/or drunk guy from a situation, it gives you an excuse to say, "Let's go talk over there so we can hear each other."
But this only works if the drunk toddler actually cares what you're saying.
