i complimented an old lady customer’s little round glasses and she said “why thank you! someone told me they had a ‘steampunk look’. i haven’t been called a punk in a long time, much less a steamy one!” i’m flatlining
Oh, shout out to the girl I saw in Leicester today wearing a t-shirt which read “always be yourself, unless you can be Clara Oswald, in which case always be Clara Oswald”
shoutout to the guy in charge of the train station at my hometown, who doesn’t limit himself to announcing trains but also:
comments on interesting birds he sees on the platform
gives completely unofficial weather reports on what he thinks the day is going to be like
refers to very crowded trains as ‘friendly trains’
regularly congratulates everyone on having gotten up on time on Monday mornings
basically seems to use the tannoy system to amuse himself and try and brighten up everyone’s morning commute
refers to himself as ‘the fat controller’
what magical land do u live where there’s something other than a robot in charge of the train announcing
There’s a guy like this at the station near my office, he does the evening shift when the trains are always late so he tells us little stories speculating on what they’re doing
Anyway someone just called the store and asked “is this the Krusty Krab” and I of course said “no this is Patrick” because they were maybe ten years old and I heard like 5 kids start laughing like they were going to pass out. The one on the phone told me “you really know your cartoons!” And hung up
Do you ever start bullshitting a paper, and then look over it halfway through and think, ’…Wait a minute, I could be onto something here.’
this is the definition of college.
Literally I was writing a paper on Asian salt water crocodiles, like a simple about them paper for a college class, and I started noticing some inconsistencies in the scientific papers I was sourcing and I accidentally discovered that the crocodile has been misdiagnosed as least concerned on the endangered species list when they should be classified as endangered and now my professor is having me write a formal report to the international Red List to have them reclassified and all I wanted to do was write this paper on an animal I thought was cool and now I’m considered an expert on this species…
