Cortana receiving your one-star review of trying to rename this folder. Preserved Fish. Morris Morris, Jr. Experience Burt Merrick. Preserved Fish writing his own Wikipedia page. Signing in to leave a flower. Leaving a Blingee on your ancestor's grave. A door that is shut but it's not flush with the doorway and the "door ajar" alarm goes off. A car upgrade where if you partially close the door it closes it the rest of the way for you. Why don't they make two planes out of the black box material, one on top of the other.

Trying to make Shitty Shut happen with Gen Z by getting on TikTok and using a filter that makes you look young and doing meme dances. Teaching your three year old to call it "shitty shut" and when grownups tell him he shouldn't use the word "shitty," whispering from the bushes "yes you should!" Euphemism withdrawal.

Watching a 40 year old music video and then tracking down the director and asking if you win a prize for being the first to notice a specific joke. The falling yellow liquid spilling forth within the billiards bar. Go low, Ken and sons. Whether people say that they have some "bad" "boys" on the "grill," why don't you "pop" on "over." The thing where you carve a hot dog into an octopus shape. A hot dog that is too polite to burst if you put it in the microwave. Why every dog is a "good boy" but none of them are great. The Go West Music Video Cinematic Universe. Bad boys who are also bad dancers. The Ultimate Good Boy. Running out the time rewind potion. A puzzle game with story except for the enormous lore dump at the end. Bob's Game. Being really into the story of the development of Bob's Game except for all the pain and human suffering. ARGeez. Renaming your game to "OK" so nobody can search for it.
