Seeing a lot of 30 Rock discourse, one of my favorite shows of all time, and I don’t think enough people realized one of the greatest jokes of the entire series. S2E5 “Greenzo” Al Gore starts a spiel and then says “Quiet! A whale is in trouble! I have to go!” 1/2
Then two seasons later S4E6 “Sun Tea” Gore randomly appears as a janitor and talks to Kenneth and says “Kenneth, encourage your lawmakers to take action and recycle everything, including jokes.” “I’m sorry sir, what?” “Quiet! A whale is in trouble! I have to go!”
@talleyberrybaby Check out the Dan Markel case next. There are two Dateline eps and it happened like two miles from my childhood home. My dad worked with the ex-wife. Absolutely insane conspiracy there.
@alibrooke4ever@offbeatorbit lol my first dog as a child in the 90’s was a golden named Kramer because he entered the room at the shelter like Kramer when my parents met him for the first time 🥲
@LRNROSE My partner loves my dog at least as much as I do, and when he travels for work Percy spends all his time at the front door looking outside, waiting for him to come home 🥲
@yellafellaAU@pat_dooley Hey so that’s not true. Ben Hill Griffin is built on what used to be a literal swamp, and there’s a significant irrigation system under it. My grandfather is the one who named it The Swamp 🐊
@brandonspikes55 One of my favorite Gators! I loved him so much growing up (in Tallahassee 😳) that, when I met my dog at the shelter several years ago and saw how fast and agile he was, I named him Percy. He’ll be 14 in April!
I was the historian for the National Senior Classical League & attended the annual convention at UNLV. When I landed in Las Vegas I saw a bunch of guys wearing orange togas at baggage claim. I asked if they were also going to convention (yes, we wear togas.) They were monks…
