Welcome back to Woodstone B&B where stunning sunrises welcome you each day!
As well as stunning surprises I guess, because as I discovered after last entry, the Lady of the Manor and the ghost that has no pants have a...thing going on.
Flower: Oh yeah, they're all over each other like jellyfish!
Uh...huh...
The Woodstone property is pretty massive and one of the nicest spots is our very own lake!
Thor: Thor is jealous of pixel self, it has been half a century since Thor was able to fish for that greatest of all foods...cod.
Alberta: Oh lord, don't get him started.
Trevor: Can we fish in the lake in real life, Jay?
Ahem...unfortunately after consultation with the EPA, we've been advised that the level of heavy metals in the water is slightly too high so in the interests of our guests, fishing is off limits.
Now here's something of interest, here at Woodstone we have a secret underground vault! It was constructed in the 1890s by Elias Woodstone, no doubt to hold all the Woodstone family riches.
Hetty: Which he didn't get the chance to use, instead he ended up locked inside it by the builder. Which is where cuckolding will get you, so take note.
I assure all prospective guests that the skeleton in the ACTUAL basement is fake, I mean, obviously we wouldn't leave a real skeleton on the premises!
Er, Pete, what the Hell are you doing?
Pete: I appreciate worksmanship, and this is fine workmanship! It looks almost real!
Yep, definitely a fake skeleton.
Thor: Why would there be rain in this mythical space? Thor cannot fish in such weather! The cod I could be catching -
Alberta: I told you not to get him started.
In the meantime, rain and even a lack of pants doesn't deter some of the ghosts.
Trevor: A fudgiscle! Man, what I wouldn't give for one of those...
Sass: This game is making me hungry....hey, Sam, can we have a pizza to smell tonight?
Thor: Seems game is not always correct...Trevor never wins 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' in real life.
Trevor: I swear, it makes no damn sense. How do you always know.
Thor: That is secret.
Is this more accurate?
Thor: Hahaha, small man would never dare such move against Thor.
Um, Alberta? That's uh...not safe.
Alberta: This ain't real, Jay, and these microwaves...damn, you modern people don't know how good you got it!
Alberta: I mean, look at this convenience! In my time it would have taken like half a day to get a dinner like this!
Well, I'll pass on your compliments to Swanson's.
Oh God, what are you planning now, No Pants?
Trevor: Wouldn't you like to know?
I don't think I do, to be honest...
Flower: Eee buttefly chasing! My favourite thing!!
Thor: And Flower doesn't even need to worry about boundary now.
Flower: I'm supposed to worry about a boundary?
Thor *groan*
Trevor: Cool, horses!
Looks like the feeling isn't mutual.
Trevor: Wow, you've been fishing all day, Big Guy?
Thor: A whole day is nothing to Thor, Thor once spent two days fishing for a much spoken of and legendary cod, it is all colours of the rainbow and is longer than -
Alberta: Just walk away, Jay and come back in an hour or two...he should be finished by then.
Trevor: Broooooo!
Thor: Broooooo!
Well, that's something you don't see every day...a Viking and a Wall Street broker doing shakkas at each other.
Alberta: Jay, you nailed it! Here I am lookin' ready to paint the town red! Starting with a drink at this speakeasy!
Isaac: sigh I am feeling isolated and unfulfilled, there's no Samantha in this game to write my story.
Well, you know, you can write your own story in this.
Isaac: What? Why didn't you say so?! Fetch me a quill and all the parchment you can afford!
Yeah, that's really not necessary, you just need a typewriter or a computer.
Isaac: Right! Lead me to it!
Trevor: Hey nothing to see here..
Isaac: What are you talking about, you've got one of those typewriters!
Trevor: Yeah, but...this is a secret room....which you guys don't know about.
Isaac: I have never actually seen that room before, what do you do in there?
Hetty: Never you mind.
Here's an interesting development, Sass's simself rolled a want to be a sculptor so here we go.
Sass: You know, I wanted to be a storyteller...but being able to create art that will last for eons...sounds good to me!
Thor: Meanwhile, Thor has decided to keep cod and other fish to admire. Also eat if famine occur.
Righty-oh, good thinking.
On that note, we'll leave our ghostly pals for now. What hijinks will they get up to next time? Stay tuned!

Just a quick reminder — the First Amendment freedoms don’t protect you and me from each other; they only protect you from the government.
That’s why Meghan’s argument that the First Amendment/freedom of speech protects her from Samantha’s lawsuit was laughed out of the courtroom. Samantha isn’t the US government. She can absolutely sue and hold Meghan accountable for what she said and Meghan can’t claim “free speech” to justify saying what she said.
(I got stuck on the jury for a 3 day civil case where two neighbors were fighting each other. The defendant counter sued the plaintiff and each of his lawyers for violating her First Amendment rights to free speech by suing her for slander and libel in the first place. I can’t tell you how many lectures we got about the First Amendment over those 3 days and I have never wanted to live under a rock away from the world like Ron Swanson more in my life.)
Thank you and this is what I was trying to get at myself. And let's remember that Cardi B won her defamation lawsuit, first amendment did not protect Tasha K did it?

Sometimes, I have my friends over and we roast movies together. I had planned on roasting 1997 together, but we ended up becoming so uncomfortable that we remained in a state of uncomfortable, silent confusion for the duration of the film.
I can firmly say, without an ounce of hesitation, that 1997 must be the ULTIMATE WORST adaption of Jane Eyre, EVER. When I first drafted this video review, it clocked in at 15 minutes. So there is a lot of content that I cut out for time. Most of it consisted of how uncharacteristically savage Jane was, and how extra Mr. Rochester was (but not in a good way).
I honestly have no idea what else to say about this adaptation, so I’m just going to let you watch the video.
youtube
WARNING: After the attempted wedding, Mr. Rochester becomes very violent with Jane. This video contains a supercut of the sequence. I cut most of it short and left a whole scene of it out, but it was so horrible I felt it had to be included in my review.
