We are in a restaurant and the family next to us is talking about a family recipe for Beef Stroganoff and ever one of them, including the children, pronounce it, completely innocently, as ‘Beef Strokin’ Off.’

1/
The first time, it was funny and adorable. Now it hysterical.

The dad said there was NOTHING like his mom’s strokin’ off and that almost killed me.

2/
Help me help help they won’t stop going on about their strokin’ off.

Help.
I want to go ask, innocently…”excuse me, I couldn’t help overhearing. How exactly DID your mom do her strokin’ off? What made hers so special?”
Oh, it turns out that grandmama brought HER strokin’ off technique from the old country.

Bless her heart.

Hope she’s with us for a long time, sharing that good strokin’ off with neighbors and friends for years to come.
Good night, grandma!
I bet granny was very popular in her village…
YOU GUYS!

It turns out the secret ingredient was love.

I just realized that every Alfred Hitchcock film title sounds like a a Transformer/Decepticon if the series was rebooted by the Game Of Thrones guys,

I bet H.R. Geiger’s meat loaf looked like vaginas.
He could have a game show where contestants play for cash prizes by guessing, MEAT LOAF OR VAGINA?

Everyone keeps talking about how the Get Back footage shows a happier Beatles, more like brothers. But the clip I just saw was BRUTAL.

George, clearly anxious and nervous, asks the rest if they would like to hear the new song he just ‘wrote last night.’

1/
The song is ‘I ME MINE’ which, while perhaps not amazing in the big picture, still turned out to be a banger and an album highlight.

But he’s nervous, his voice on it is thin, the odd rhythm changes are a little tentative because he just wrote it…

2/
Only Paul seems to really be paying attention.

John is an absolute douche about it, making jokes about dancing girls and barrel organs.

Then he says this thing, that is just so pointlessly cruel…

We are at a restaurant next to a couple going out on their first date and good LORD the guy is blowing it so BAD.
He is German and he asked what she did and she must have a great job, and he WILL not stop asking about, and talking about money, non-stop.
Actual quote: “YOU MAKE MORE THAN EVERYONE IN GERMANY.”
