Reminds me of being out in the desert and seeing a sandstorm rolling in

That’s nuts!

Add up all the snow I’ve ever personally seen in my 40+ years and it still wouldn’t be as much snow as this.

A big reason why I’m glad that I’m no longer in IT is that I don’t have to be in an on-call rotation any longer.

If the job offers to pay for your cell phone, it’s because they will expect you to answer at 2am.

• regular vigorous exercise - I do this five or six days per week
• no caffeine after about 2 pm
• mostly consistent bedtime
• heating pad, for nights when my lower back is stiff or sore
• white noise in the form of a fan (though I’m going to need something more powerful, as my neighbor has started the lovely habit of watching tv at 330am with no headphones)
• on nights when I’m really having trouble, I have a small stash of chewable 5mg melatonin tablets on my nightstand

Is there any possibility this is done just to make it blindingly obvious to the viewer that Breakfast Is Happening™?

Seems like someone grabbing a couple breakfast bars and a canned beverage might plausibly finish the task quickly enough that a viewer may not notice, particularly if it’s not the foreground of the scene.

Or maybe it’s for the same reason anyone coming back from the grocery store will have a paper bag with celery stalks and a baguette poking out the top? No reason other than that it’s the conventional way of demonstrating the trope.

When I was in middle school, on an organized camping trip to a lake where we would work on our canoeing skills, another kid and I started to horseplay. We were struggling over who could take a specific canoe paddle. My opponent held the handle, and I the blade. We each tried using the paddle to shove at the other & cause them to lose control, thereby securing the paddle for our own exclusive use.

Nevermind that there were a dozen other equally good paddles laying around unclaimed, we had to fight over that specific paddle.

I wound up losing my grip right as my opponent shoved. The blade hit me square on the bridge of my nose. I bled like crazy.

It wasn’t until several years afterwards that I realized how perilously close I had come to losing one or both eyes.

More plausible than him being in the North American Marlon Brando Look Alikes.

If you marry a barracks rat, don’t be surprised if she hooks up with Jody while you’re downrange.

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

“Jared from Subway is such an inspiration!”

Now that you mention this, I can just make out that it’s an  and not an A on the packaging.

Actual swords or mall ninja stuff?

Dungeon grinding in your favorite MMO is a valid way to spend the day….

Provided that by doing so you’re not falling too far behind on life maintenance (laundry, grocery shopping, etc).

This would totally be Brick from The Middle

One of the weirder experiences in my life was taking a ghost tour in a haunted mansion and having this album spontaneously play in my head.

I think it’s supposed to be bird food

I wonder if this is the base structure of a parade float.
