I simply must immortalize this text conversation I had with my friend here:
Yes, the “We can’t just not look, can we?” scene in Those Old Scientists is hilarious but imagine the Department of Temporal Investigations began to refer to that as the “Boimler Maneuver” or alternatively the “Shy Pisser Maneuver”.
Because that’s very much what it is. It’s an entire room full of people standing in a corner of the room, trying not to look, while you do your business. It just so happens that that business is utilizing methods and technology from the future
It would be very on brand for Boimler that when he finally gets a maneuver named after him it’s also called the “Shy Pisser Maneuver”, forever branding him a shy pee’er regardless of whether he is one or not.
We might just have to “There is no live action adaptation of ATLA.” the entirety of K2’s whole deal. Nothing against K2. She’s a great bit. I just think it would also be a great bit to be like:
“How again did the bad kids get the Hangman through the giant Nightmare King Storm to return to Elmville in time to stop Porter’s ascension?”
“I think it was the gold tornado.”
“Yep, definitely the gold tornado and nothing else.”
In light (haha) of the recent eclipse, I’d like to point out that it was during an eclipse in 1868 that French Astronomer Jules Janssen observed an unusual spectral line produced when he pointed his telescope at the partially obscured sun. He assumed that it corresponded to the spectrum of Sodium.
Observation by English astronomer Norman Lockyer later that year revealed it to be a different element. The first one discovered on a distant celestial sphere before it was discovered on Earth. He chose to name it after the sun.
In 1968, one hundred years later, a space probe was launched to orbit around and study the sun.
For those who missed them — look who were on the balcony!
The nature of humanity is that, occasionally, we will reinvent Naruto.
Fun fact: while doing research for this post (a perfectly normal thing to do) I learned that to make prune juice, you must first dehydrate the plums, rehydrate them, and then juice them, meaning both Boimler families would have to dry out fruit regardless. Do with this information what you will.
I’m imagining a scenario in which Boimler meets Worf and introduces himself as Ensign Boimler, and Worf says he recognizes him and Boims gets excited for a second until Worf explains that he recognizes the name Boimler from the brand of prune juice that comes from Bradward’s family’s vineyard.
You’re all wrong. It’s—
