It’s crazy how ubiquitous those were. Anyone with a mic for their PC had that exact mic.

Hell, I’m a millennial and I had a professor at college maybe five years ago who used an overhead because he refused to figure out how to use PowerPoint with the computer projector.

It’s a show called Mystery Science Theater 3000. It’s about someone stuck in space by evil scientists and forced to watch bad movies with his robot companions (played by puppets). The show is made up mostly of them watching the movie with only their silhouettes in the bottom of the screen as they make fun of the movie, like in the comic, with occasional segments where they leave the theater and usually do some kind of skit related to the film.

It’s kinda corny but it’s a fun show. They have a channel on YouTube where they upload some of the episodes and play others live, and an app where you can watch most of them ad-free.

I think it depends on if you’re correcting people to better understand them, or correcting them to be correct. Or, to put it another way:

Of course that’s not a tie, it’s a cabbage.

I have altered the file path. Pray I don’t alter it further.

An excruciating number, yes

What do you say if you want the trees up?

True. It seems there are different versions of the puzzle, but from a quick search it was popularized by the movie Labyrinth, and there they get around it by having a second set of guards who don’t know the answer explain the setup.

Glad to help!

Yes, but you’re not asking him what his brother likes, you’re asking him what he would say he likes, which is what flips it. You’re basically making sure the answer is a lie regardless of which brother you ask.

It works the same as the original puzzle. If you ask the lying small butt brother, he’ll lie and say his brother would say he likes small butts. If you ask the truthful big butt brother, he’d say his brother would say he likes big butts, because he knows his brother likes small butts and would lie about it.

Essentially the negatives work out so that each brother answers with the kind of butt they themselves like, which you can then use to determine which is truthful (though at this point that somehow seems less important).

“If I were to ask your brother what kind of butts he likes, how would he answer?”

Thanks for clarifying, I thought it was odd considering the octopus doesn’t seem like a rare piece.

Russian puppet spouts Russian propaganda, more at 11

To be fair, I think just living on Tatooine does that to you:

Not to mention, when shooting scenes for a show, actors are often only there for the scenes they’re in, and they’re not even necessarily shot in order, so he often had no idea what was going on until he saw the completed episode, which he mentioned in the podcast he often didn’t bother watching. So it wasn’t uncommon for the things he had “forgotten” to be things he actually wasn’t aware of in the first place.

He asked, “Be you angels?”

We said, “Nay, we are but men!”

ROCK!
