“Okay everybody, call off the search, we’re leaving now!”
/walk in place, noisily stomping feet, less noisy, softly, gently fading into silence
“Gotcha!”

In video games that strategy totally always works.

Maybe we’ve figured out a crime we really can pin on video games. Finally! Yay!

Deputies removed tiles from several spots in a five-hour effort to catch Perkins. The news release says she ignored commands to come down and instead moved to other sections of the ceiling.

This kind of sounds like that game, Battleship.

You know, like…you just have to go with whatever works, until it doesn’t.

Yipee-ky-yay, m----------r!

She also probably got quite a few Floridian spiders and other tropical critters in her hair.

Yeah I know, but whenever Die Hard is shown on TV, the m----------r word becomes Mister Falcon.

It’s what we had before Netflix. We actually had two. The one that worked sat on top of the one that didn’t, and the one that “worked” only barely worked. Its picture was green and was usually just weird horizontal stripes. There was a coathanger sticking out of the top of this thing, and whenever the picture went all stripey, whoever was the youngest or had the least social status had to get off the couch and futz around with the hanger. Although this whole setup might not have been actually as heavy as a full grown adult human, it was certainly twice as bulky and awkward.
