Things you should know by now, but only just discovered

It'll have to wait until after the search for vengeance.

It’s quite hard to write when your cat is using the top of your fountain pen to scratch under his chin.

I was. I was half way down a page! That cat has no respect for the craft of writing.

But it does have great taste in pens!

Sometimes I wonder if I am mildly dyslexic because I read "pens!" as a different word and had a WTF?!?!?! moment before I re-read it.

"Gussy it up however you want, Trebek. What matters is does it work? Will it really mighty my penis, man?"

That shirt would look better in Comic Sans.

A guy I know bought the URL for that, back in the day after seeing that sketch, and every year or so his site shows up on a "check out these websites with unintentionally dirty URLs lol lol!!!" list.

I am glad my joke of pens! Brought so much joy to all your jouvenile brains!

Not gonna lie, I saw it when I posted it and was curious if anyone else did. Glad we're all stick down at this level of humor.

Speaking of sophomoric humor. This is one of my favorites.

That website is such a tease. They really could have knocked it out of the park with a few “pen is” lines. Really a shame none of the testimonials were fun, as I’m sure they must get some that are. Best part other than the business title is
“Q: Can I provide my own wood?
A: In most cases we can handle your wood.“

I think they had to keep from going too hard, so that their corporate customers would not be suspicious that maybe they wood not deliver the product as promised.

Pen is large as promised.

I've watched Temple of Doom several dozen times in my life and only just now realized that Dan Aykroyd is the airport guy.

A 39 year old Donnie Yen is in Blade II.

It's not a stretch to say that Donnie Yen is the best thing about Blade II.

Don't forget him making Adrian Paul look good in Highlander: Endgame.

Wow, I never noticed that. Probably because he puts on an English accent, he gets 10 seconds of screen time, and they never show a close-up of his face.

Even with the (terrible) accent, the voice is what tipped me off.

For some reason, I guess I was really paying attention during that scene this time.

Been watching Indiana Jones films since they were new, and I still have no sense of the timeline; something about one being a prequel or something. Oh well. Now if only we hadn’t lost River Phoenix so we could have had good follow-up films and not stopped at just being a trilogy.

My wife and I have watched the first two films recently.

The second one (set in 1935) was a prequel to the first (set in 1936). Supposedly this was so that they could use someone other than Nazis as the bad guys.

It also explains (kinda) why Jones is far more mercenary in Temple of Doom.

There are no other Highlanders. There can be only one.

Hot take: I hated Temple of Doom. So pointlessly gross. The other two in the trilogy were fantastic, of course.

Obvious take: Oh man, Donnie Yen is so awesome. Iron Monkey*, Hero, even Rogue One.

Super obvious take: Highlander was great; it's a real shame there were never any sequels.

* Seriously, see Iron Monkey.

So, you know Mollag Baal didn’t really pull Idie’s heart out of his chest, right? And I’m not talking about movie special effects, I mean that Baal used psychotropic drugs and stage magic sleight of hand to convince his followers and victims that he had super powers.

It's not the heart. It's all the gross out food and bug sh*t. I hated Temple of Doom as a kid and it's never grown on me as an adult.

I'm pretty much in the "there are only 2 Indiana Jones movies" camp and still very happy there.

I've always preferred Temple of Doom over Raiders of the Lost Ark, but my favorite is by far The Last Crusade. And since I'm upsetting people, I'll confess I also like Crystal Skull.
