My third day of my current job a coworker asked what I wanted my nickname to be. I told him my name would be preferred and he decided that my nickname would be "cum dumpster" because I apparently didn't care what he'd pick for me.

Had a guy introduce himself to me on set with the statement “Hey, my names Steven but everyone calls me Twitch. I hate that though.” He had a noticeable tick. Buddy, we’re in our 30s you don’t have to keep introducing yourself like that. Self inflicted bullying at its finest

Chunky Spewster

After Remember the Titans came out some guys on my football team called me Sunshine, probably because of my long beautiful hair and no other reasons

Sort of Scorpion

Hey, I got that Boards of Canada joke, and I much appreciated it.

Frank

Almost used the word nonce in a very unfortunate setting last week thank u Ben 🙏

Shouts out to Cocos Annerley. Great spot for strange snacks and interesting drinks. Go ahead, try the dried plums or the chinotto.

Boonta Vista

do they teach you that world war 2 started in 1941 in american schools

Grant

They might, but I wouldn’t know because I was homeschooled. And I was obsessed with World War II as a kid. But yes they weren’t there at the beginning, but they joined earlier and played a more significant role than they did in World War II. But yes they did join later than the European and Pacific nations. Not trying to stick up for the US because I truly despise my country with my entire being but this is also my hyperfixation lol

You're correct Ben, Zap Brannigan only wears shorts, formal and otherwise

I've been pickled egg curious for a while but I think I'll be making them at home

Scott Otis

"Have the boy lay out my formal shorts", that exchange took me out.

Declan Kennedy

"The 'boy', sir?" "You, Kif. You lay out my formal shorts."

Steve McPhail

Called me McFailure in school. Pickled eggs are good. Pickled quail eggs are best.

nickibis

What about a tshirt with the Boonta Vista logo and under it, the words "it's diagetic"

Joseph Oswald

When I was little I used to eat so many pickled quail eggs from the local Mennonites.

Sadly, vinegar makes me feel poisoned so I seek out methods of flavoring boiled eggs without suffusing the egg with vinegar. The leftover juice from an olive jar is good.

my sub was worth the Gen X theme song alone 😍😍😍😍
