  • I like the interpretation that the dog is an allegorical representation for a sort of goofus bodyguard.

    The point of security detail is that they just chill and stand by, right? All discrete and such, like the ancient version of the Agent 47-lookin’ dude with an earpiece who fades into the background.

    But because this schmuck is loyal but a dumbass like an ancient Golden Retriever, he opens things up to try and get a better view, so he can find and subsequently protect his peeps like a Good Boi.
    …In a space that historically likely could also function as a brothel.

    NSFW Dudley Do-Right kinda shenanigans.

    IIRC, this is the video that more or less had that interpretation in it:

    I, too, was bothered by the joke for years, and this is the first explanation that has adequately satisfied me.



  • Nah, I never got into Twitter.

    I have real American problems, like the fact that Americans have abandoned the most patriotic beverages ever!

    Tea and Cider!

    George Washington would never have been general or president without cider! Tons of Cider! (NOT beer- that wouldn’t get as popular until later!)
    Johnny Appleseed was NOT planting eating apples, either.

    And now, most cider is kinda crap, and is going to give you a hangover. Its so difficult to ensure that you get a good drinking experience for your friends when trying to share with them the wonders of America’s first brew of patriots.

    And What about the Boston Tea Party?

    The South at least keeps the dream alive with iced tea that it doesn’t oversteep. (that’s how you can tell if somewhere is Southern, btw- if they both have iced tea and don’t brew it to bitter hell) But its still not a proper American fixation on reasonably priced tea!

    THIS is a true American issue





  • I use Gboard with the one handed option always enabled, so I can keep my keyboard exactly where I want it on the screen.

    Some health issues make excessive keystrokes painful, and my phone is big enough already. I have it adjusted to about the keyboard size of a Galaxy S2 on screen keyboard, and to the right.

    I keep Hacker’s Keyboard if I ever wind up playing something old school, though I usually wind up playing Pathos if I get an itch for NetHack on the go.

    If anyone has a good option for keyboards you can force to keep on top for Accessability/gaming purposes, though, let me know.
