As if anyone finished that book.

Multiple times. Sorry to hear your reading skills weren't up to snuff!

If we're sharing doggo memes the "They're good dogs Brent" one is my absolute favorite. http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/225/812/2b3... I always look at it if I'm having a rough day.

It's odd. On the one side, so many of these kind of things feel cringeworthy and weird. But then some things like this seem to go just that bit further and the effort and feeling behind them makes it all just wonderful and fun again. Either way it's quite fascinating just how quickly new languages or dialects appear and spread. Slight addition to the other things in this thread so far: I've really loved the descripti…

It's all cringe to me.

It's the weirdest thing with me, but I'm a parent of a certain age and though my kids are now teenagers soon to be off to college I still remember their pre-school years vividly and one aspect of those years was that I saw "The Emperor's New Groove" about 9,000 times, and as a result any time someone on the Internet ends a sentence with ", eh", my brain automatically attributes the whole thing to David Spade's voice…
