The Good Place season one: Haha, what if someone was sent to heaven by accident and had to pretend to be a good person!

The Good Place by the end: Morality cannot be measured in a vacuum. While people should be held accountable for their actions, people are a product of their environment and the results of our actions are often beyond our control. Bad people can improve when they loved and supported. Also, the reality of death is essential to the enjoyment of life.

Charlie Blackmon gives the greatest interviews

Mark Stout: Charlie, I really want to do the anatomy of an inside-the-park home run, because it's - it's your first one in the big leagues. I'm sure you've had one before.

Charlie Blackmon: Um-

M: At some level

C: I don't know, I don't - I usually get real tired before I get to the plate and I stop, but Stu was waving me early so I had to go.

M: So this one, you hit it right on the button.

C: I hit it hard, I guess. I hit it kind of at the guy.

M: Yeah, it's a wet night, things happen.

C: Um, yes

M: When did you see that? Did you round first and be like, "Oh, it's going to the wall?"

C: Uh, honestly I thought he was going to catch it - I was still running, you know like, doing the baseball stuff and, uh, you know, he missed it, and so then I was like, "Oh. Crap. I gotta run." so then I started running.

M: And you are a fast runner that's a good thing.

C: I'm a - yeah. Yeah! I'm supposed to be!

M: Tell me about-

C: and that's enough

M: Your slide a lot of authority to it.

C: Oh yeah! I was going to go head-first, but head-first is like, kinda risky, and I got these spikes on the bottom of my shoes, so figure if I go feet-first, that's pretty standard and that way I don't get hurt.

M: And it looked cool.

C: I guess. That's what I was going for.

M: Hey, Johnny Cueto's a tough pitcher. When you guys can get runs off him...

C: He's good, you know, he does a lot of things really well, and so it was good for us to get to him tonight after he pitched well in San Fransisco.

M: How strong is Trevor Story?

C: He's really, like, really strong. It's hard to hit the ball the other way, over the fence.

M: With no effort?

C: Nah, he's just, good at baseball.

M: This has been fun baseball for you guys, right?

C: Yeah! Winning is really fun, we should keep doing that.

M: I agree.

Trainability in cats is a funny thing.

My cats understand and will obey a number of verbal commands, one of which is “go away”. I don’t use it often, but if they’re bugging me and I’m trying to work or doing something that could be dangerous for cats, I can tell them to go away, and off they go - they’ll only keep pestering me if there’s a serious problem they need me to look at.

That said, their idea of a serious problem that requires my attention is somewhat eccentric. Previous instances have included:

There was an unfamiliar car parked across the street

Their water bowl was four inches to the left of its usual position

One of them had puked on the stairs and they didn’t want to walk past it

It was raining

One of them saw a weird bug

[giantgeyser]

To clarify:

Yes, he probably did “dissolve”, but that was more due to the extreme acidity of that specific area of the park. Norris Geyser Basin has some of the most acidic waters of the park. I think only Muddy Volcano has a higher concentration of acidic water. More often than not, remains would be recoverable (usually not much after sitting in a pool of ACTUALLY BOILING water), but the acidity broke everything down more quickly. The clothing and flip flops more likely sank if they didn’t fully dissolve.

And also yes, the water of the HOT springs is extremely HOT. There is nothing that should logically make anyone think otherwise.They steam, they boil - sometimes violently. Despite this, there are always people who ignore all of the literature they give you at the entrance, as well as all of the signs EVERYWHERE warning you not to leave the trails and decide that they just *have* to touch the boiling water to test if it’s “really hot”. Most of the time they just burn their hand a little, but occasionally someone is just so stupid that they end up dying. 

Check out Lee Whittlesly’s book “Death in Yellowstone” if you want to learn about all of the stupid ways people comport themselves in the Park,

The hot springs at Yellowstone National Park are brutal enough to completely dissolve a human being within a day. A man who had slipped and fell into the springs was found floating dead later that same afternoon, but his body was unreachable. By the next morning, not a trace of him was left in the scorching, acidic waters - not even his flip flops. Source Source 2 Source 3

I have some questions. Number one: how dare you.

[giantgeyser]

“GENTLEMEN, WE ARE AT WAR WITH THE GREEKS AND MUST NOT DROP OUR GUARD AT ALL”

“sir, the enemy gave us a giant wooden horse”

“oh rad bring it in”

[giantgeyser]

“In third grade”

did anyone actually ever read those animorph books

[giantgeyser]

I have a feeling this will become iconic in due time.
