for NHL fans only: without looking it up or asking anyone, do you know what "dick trick" or "rooster" means in a hockey context?

yes

Voting ended onJul 26

if "yes" I would appreciate additional info in the replies/tags about your age or generation, how long you've been an NHL fan, and whether or not you were active on hockey twitter back in the day

(trying to figure out how much this joke broke containment—I wanna put a reference to it in my superpowered-hockey novel and I think it might be too obscure by now but I REALLY WANNA lol)

(here's the answer btw)

#i'm 46 #became a hockey fan in 2012 #Was very much on hockey twitter #(and was at the game that led to the phrase's creation)

everyone who is not currently in the process of moving please pause and take a moment to be grateful that you're not currently in the process of moving

#I have an at least weekly practice of being thankful that i am not moving #and asking the universe to protect me from having to move any time soon

Can you remember the 90s?

Yes

Voting ended onJun 14

As in, do any of your memories take place during the 90s (yes, a single memory from 1999 counts).

I can remember about half of them. My earliest memory was probably 1995 and they go from there.

Do you have any memory of watching The Wall come down on the evening news? Was anyone on Tumblr there?

#My clear 'i remember this' not just 'i've been told this story' memories start around 1984 #And we watched the cbs evening news every night as a family #and listened to a lot of npr #so a lot of then current events just seeped in #being exposed to coverage of the savings and loan crisis was probably the foundation of my financial fuckery interest

People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.

#sparkling water with Torani sugar free black cherry syrup.#About to go make myself another sparkling water.#But this one will be orange creamsicle.

Happy Holidays, friends <3

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is an ancient movie that we’ve talked about as nauseum, yes, but if I may continue post nauseum I do still absolutely love Jessica Rabbit and how if you watch with your eyes the first time and see how she’s animated as this impossibly seductive caricature of allure and lust that is OBVIOUSLY giving off all the flirty and come-hither signals in the world, you are sympathetic to the men around her who can’t help but fall for her invitation-

but then you watch it again and close your eyes whenever she appears and just listen to her voice, you can hear the words and emotions and sadness of an average, tired woman who has accepted that no matter what she does, she’ll always just be seen for how she looks. That the way she has been animated and the way she is seen and interpreted by the world is beyond her control, and there’s not a thing she can do about it.

And suddenly the men aren’t very sympathetic at all, because you realize that while they LOOK, they haven’t at all been LISTENING.

I’m sorry I just still think that the dissonance between her animation and her VA was an incredible stroke of genius because yeah. Yeah that’s what it’s like

ralfmaximus

Nobody can believe she's with Roger, the total opposite of a manly man. But unlike all the Real Men, Roger listens to her. He loves her for playing patty-cake and all their silly shared jokes. Of course they'd be in love.

katiegeeks

Important to note that Jessica Rabbit's voice actor is Kathleen Turner. She was, herself, a certified bombshell of the 1980s who first made a splash as a femme fetale in a "Body Heat," a neo noir. Like... she could deliver that exhaustion because she was a good actress, sure, but she also directly EXPERIENCED that kind of superficial assumptions about her as an actress.

ok chat I got another question for you.

my coworker recently told me "it's normal for your bedroom to not have a door lock".

to which I looked at him with abject horror.

Were you allowed to lock your bedroom door growing up?

Not even allowed to have it closed

No. parent's house, parents rules, etc.

This wasn't a problem for me

My privacy was respected (yes)

#my door theoretically had a lock #but the doors were from like 1920 #so we're talking stereotypical keyhole and big iron keys #and the house had settled so much #that most the doors didn't close properly #So neither me nor my parents had doors that locked
