        I recently learned some people never learned phonics. They were taught to just learn words based on how they look or something. Isn’t that kinda fuckin crazy?

      Cause, then English would make sense, and that’s less fun then getting half the world to follow your silly spelling rules.

    There was a movie about Lucy and Desi that came out sometime in the late 1900s.

    It was being advertised heavily on one of the over the air television stations that we would watch on our cathode ray tube television that picked up signals from a type of antenna called rabbit ears. Back in those days, they’d sometimes have voice over commercials where they’d talk over the end credits of a show or movie, and apparently sometimes they did that live (I guess)?

    Family and I are watching a show and when it ended, they did the voice over thing talking about the Lucy movie. The announcer started out strong but totally fumbled a line, something along the lines of “join Ducy, Lesi, and little Licky”. I just know we all heard it, we all busted out laughing.
