Is that what that was? I got a grey box with no text in it that popped up over Satisfactory and my mouse control went from the POV to moving a cursor. I was building and it was a brief interruption. I got the actual text via email.

I’m riffing on The Rattlin’ Bog.

A sort of folksy children’s song that builds to a silly degree with each verse.

There’s a man in the hole and a spider on the man and a frog on the spider in the bog down in the valley-o!

Got to be able to lick her paws 18 times a day.

That looks like a good kittening spot.

Roll that beautiful bean footage!

Best I could do on short such notice.

That cat has grey beans. My grey cat has purple beans, which is way more creative.

I forget where it comes from, probably a standup comedian, but “It’s no wonder cats and dogs are afraid of the vacuum cleaner, it’s a thing that can eat and scream at the same time.”

And then “Have A Nice Day.”

Trying to put the thought in my head into words…Let’s try this: Beetlejuice has an excuse plot like a lot of video games do. The plot is a framework to attach fun and amusing scenes together. It’s an excuse to go to the ghost DMV and to have the dinner and seance and wedding scenes.

At one point they do have a stated goal of scaring away the Deetzes, but they don’t achieve this goal. They scare off Otho, by making his…suit less trendy? Am I remembering that right? But the Maitlands and Deetzes end up living in harmony, Lydia gets the movie’s victory lap. Beetlejuice is the title character, but he’s really the closest thing the film has to an antagonist.

Really, the characters and plot don’t matter as much as the series of fun and interesting scenes. That’s why I enjoyed the movie; it’s built more like a haunted house than a feature film. It’s a series of loosely related vignettes. And if those are fun, then mission achieved.

Story cohesion

In one or two simlpe sentences, summarize the story of the original Beetlejuice film. In just a few words, what is Beetlejuice about?

But hey we now have checks notes Monica Bellucci, the worst actress the big screen has ever seen…

May I introduce you to Monique Gabrielle?

I prescribe one of those feathers on a fishing rod toys. Put that energy to some nice healthy play.

I think Sony is trying for bankruptcy. With that whole PSN thing with, which game was it, Helldivers? Just…who would ever buy anything from Sony ever again?

(I know you’re joking but the builder in me is genuinely curious if you can make a rubber-like substance out of polystyrene)

Latex is natural rubber and is indeed biodegradable though it is slow to break down. Polyurethane condoms will probably be found in the archeological record.

Asterisk: At 1 atmosphere of pressure. Lots of people forget that part.

Of the four levels of learning, rote memorization is the lowest, easiest to achieve, easiest to test, and least useful. The student can demonstrate the ability to repeat a memorized phrase verbatim, or given a couple seconds to think about it they can rephrase it in their own words using their mental thesaurus. Multiple choice and short answer questions test rote memorization, which happen to be easy to grade, machines can do it. Rote memorization will have little effect on the student’s overall behavior, if it’s all you teach and test for you’re not a teacher you’re just cosplaying as one.

Norm!

Casio is so chaotic.

Name any Steam exclusives. I can think of Half Life Alyx; you could get everything up to The Orange Box and even Portal 2 on disc.
