Quote from: Slurpee on May 03, 2026, 12:41:36 AMI don't understand the Groucho Marx joke, "well either he's dead or my watch has stopped",

I think it's like:

His watch has stopped. He is not paying attention to the real pulse at all. The pulse only exists when it is measured by a watch in his mind. As his watch has stopped, it has stopped ticking, which transitively he associates with the heart, which also ticks, and assumed he is dead, instead of do what it seemed he was doing, a tachycardia test.

he's a tool/process-first, patient-second doctor,

total pulses over seconds

division by zero error

conclusions: patient dead, or, watch malfunction

it takes a truly great artist to blame the brush. you can dissect his work all you want but you need to both ascend and transcend to see him eye to eye

not content to sell the same games over and over and over, nintendo has announced a remake

they misunderstood when people said "why don't they just make starfox 64 again?" somebody's definitely already made this joke

in the original star fox for snes peppy was named peppy because he had a very peppy personality, but then in every subsequent game he's tommy lee jones

actually saiyans are all named after vegetables so it's just a slant-non-rhyme for pepsi

そおですか

i think you use う when elongating o-sound in hiragana

also pepsi is a soda, not a sodé
