happy birthday gromit

it’s february 12th happy birthday gromit!!

Madames and Monsieurs. Poirot has seen much evil in the world, but the evil of this man is in a category all it’s own. His crimes are those of which Poirot cannot speak of in polite company, and they stretch the limit of discretion and manners. And he flees his persecution but cannot resist to remind the world of his existence. To brag about the money his filth has brought him. To try and, how you say, “flex” on a girl who’s concern is for the future of this planet by touting his many fast cars. But she is not so easily cowed and came back strong against his crude message with one of her own. Poirot may not condone the language, but he cannot deny it may have been called for. And there, there he let his hubris lead him to make his mistake. In his video, there, there is his pandora’s box. It does not look like much, it is after all a pizza box and such food is popular among the masses today. But this box…this box proved where he was hiding away. What hole this rat crawled into!

I claim no deductive prowess on my part, Watson. Our quarry is a braggart and a fool and he has proclaimed his location for all the world to see. But the prey is still afoot, dear doctor, and we must be swift. Bring your pistol.

anyone else fucking CRYING at alan alda’s marriage on this saturday night

I WAS SOBBING AT HIS WHOLE LAMENT

In memory of Kevin Conroy, I'm reposting his story in his own words. We were so lucky to have Kevin share a piece of his soul with us through playing Batman for over thirty years, and his loss is heartbreaking for an entire generation who grew up with him as our Batman. I'm incredibly grateful to have lived in a world where he got the opportunity to play that role for us for so long and in so many different productions. RIP to a good man, a legend, and one of the most iconic voice actors of all time.

‘Our Town’s Libraries’ which I drew for the @nytimes recently… Speaking of libraries, I have a new book out titled REVENGE OF THE LIBRARIANS and I am visiting Brooklyn NY, Philadelphia PA, and Columbus OH with it in the next week. Visit tomgauld.com for details…

seeing star wars characters in ponchos is so good. their natural habitat. warm and safe

this is like just a fourth of a whole musical medley addressing that you can’t live like the simpsons anymore. harsh :(

DID MODERN SIMPSONS JUST DROP A WELL PRESENTED TRUTH BOMB

Huh. This is weirdly Classic Simpsons.

oh and that’s hugh jackman singing btw

wait. waitwaitwait i am having thoughts.

there is no way charles did not have very strong (negative) opinions about contemporary classical music

he gets a tape from honoria in fall 1952 telling him how some guy named john cage composed a piece that is performed by. not playing your instruments. instead it calls for the audience to consider the music that's always around them. it's called 4'33''

he is outraged. he sends her a tirade detailing how these new age thinkers are intent on destroying one of the last forms of truly civilized culture and he would sooner attend a crooner concert than any symphony that would stoop so low as to feature pieces by modernist hacks

and then

he can't listen to music anymore

he goes home and he can't listen to music anymore.

but one day he's sitting with honoria, looking at the new england autumn stretched out in front of them and he hears the leaves rustling, and the soft rush of water of a nearby stream and he feels the sun on his face

and honoria glances over and asks for the time; maybe they'd better be getting back to the house

he checks his wristwatch

it's 4:33

and maybe. maybe music isn't gone from his life.

katara is one of those impossibly cool people who “has a guy” for everything. like run into any sort of problem and she’s just like “hang on i gotchu. just contact this number and they’ll know what to do.” but half the time that guy is just sokka

incredibly in-character

a rainbow of van gogh—

teal and orange truly is the greatest color combo in the world. like name one better combo

this is spiritually healing to me

a platypus palette?

PERRY THE PLATYPUS PALETTE???

Sorry for who-posting in the year 2019 but the Doctor is actually so named because he wrote and successfully defended a dissertation at an accredited university whereas the Master completed a 2-year graduate program in his chosen field, which points to the existence of a third less-advanced and less-specialized counterpart, the Bachelor

The Bachelor is never seen in the show because he’s still living with his parents on Gallifrey, listlessly applying for jobs and stress-eating

I thought the bachelor was being fought over by 12 women in a big house

galaxy brain:  The Bachelor Tv show has featured the same man for every season but he regenerates like the doctor

obsessed with the idea that the bachelor is ritually killed at the end of every season

When the whole party is down but your bard is up

jack had absolutely no right to go this hard

um excuse me Jack not only may but must go this hard

I love the moment where the band is like “oh, yeah, let’s pick this up!”

Everything he does is joy

Always reblog…
