She’s compelling. I’d give her the part…
We started with one set so the everyday stuff is the good stuff, or that’s how it began. Relatives thought we were poor or something so they give us gifts thinking we need more…
The McCoy smiley face mugs from my youth have become a bit too treasured and were relegated to the HOF on an upper shelf…
The 1st one drove me up a wall- I was offended.
The 2nd one is absolutely priceless. The most relatable thing I think I’ve heard- I’m cry/laughing… hard. Love it.
The reason I hated the 1st- I replaced her fine-boned edges for elitist smugness.
The 2nd because I can relate- every time I open the cupboard door- lol
Pick me pick me!! And I do have my favorites- the ones that feel the best on my lips…
First one smiles, second one LOLs. Good ones, Anna Redhair.
at the risk of sounding like a guy...
i would Totally USE That mug; don't get me started on that Fine china
Women keep fine china for when she invites guests over, is why.
The point is impressing friends with what a good deal she's made for herself, and the clumsy slob she lives with isn't allowed to touch it normally.
"Are my handles to big?"
Each one is brilliant because they they express a profound truism in a funny relatable way.
I've been using the same white porcelain) coffee cup with a coffee-residued crack down the side for three decades.
She is adorable. I just want to buy her a farm and put babies in her.
There are thousands of inanimate objects in people's houses, and I'm already bored with this genre after watching 1/4 of one video.
Thank you, Ann!
There’s some truth to this…
After 30 years of marriage hardly ever using the china (and inheriting a second set of china that the in-laws never used) we said WTF and started using it whenever we had friends over (which is a lot). We also put it in the dishwasher like anything else so it’s not a PITA to hand wash…
That's fun. The first video goes well with my having just emerged from a Tennessee Williams rabbit hole I fell into for an hour after reading a quote of his from Follies of God.
Restaurant supply stores have provided me with my most-used plates, cups and glasses. A neighbor who was a chef decades ago suggested this to me, when I admired his table settings. Inexpensive and high quality. What could the TikTok performance artist do with that, I wonder?
"Every meal, I wonder when the bill will come, but it never does. No tips, either."
Good find. Very well done.
I enjoy the retelling of story from the POV of a peripheral character. My favorite of the genre is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.
Here, the "original story" is pretty thin. The cups don't do anything but talk. Perhaps the cat will bust out a fiddle, sing "Hey Diddle Diddle", and a cup & a spoon will be discovered under mistress's bed.
Ms. Rudegeair is clever, I look forward to the next episode.
Like the plight of the silent letters in so many words. Sometimes, I pronounce the silent letters so they know they aren't completely forgotten.
Was just listening to some Chaucer with the original pronunciations, and, boy oh boy, once upon a time they used to pronounce all those letters. Must have plumb worn themselves out doing that. I can see why they stopped pronouncing so many of them.
Wonderful. Clever, funny, and well stated. Another one from you that makes me think I should rethink my attitude about TikTok and give it a look.
Maybe.
We have too ... much ... stuff. Anyone who has sorted through the posessions (detritis?) of a deceased relative or friend knows that most haven't been touched, let alone used, in years.
Do your heirs a favor -- donate, give away, or throw away anything you haven't touched in the last 12 months.
Marie Kondo's philosophy as inspiration for humor.
Looking forward to privacy so I can watch these - didn't bring my earbuds out into the world today.
My husband's grandmother willed me (not my husband) her sterling flatware, because, she said, she knew I would actually use it. We do: for at least two months a year, my husband's birth month and from Thanksgiving to New Year's, they are our everyday flatware. This year after my husband's birth month I just never got around to putting them away - only to find that my husband and son don't like using them because they are scaled wrong for their modern sensibilities (and apparently hands).
Oh well... Back to two months a year.
Really good. Though I have a different cupboard because all my favorites break and the clunkers, which are always unbreakable somehow, rule for awhile and then I tire of their banal rule, donate them and get new ones I really like - and they break. Then the ones it turns out I didn't really like rule for awhil
It's not about the china. She's wondering why she isn't getting laid. I've heard the claim (which I don't really believe) that some especially beautiful women have trouble because men they encounter think they are above the men's "pay grade."
Watchability and click through rates.
You can make anything compelling with good presentation. People like to see emotions. Something to connect to.
Hot chicks have an advantage on click through rates. But creating good solid click bait is just as much an art.
IIRC our Blog Mistress spoke once of preferring a coffee mug with a slightly out-turned lip, which she said somehow felt better when sipped from.
I have one such mug in my kitchen cabinet, and every time I reach for it I think, "This is the kind Althouse likes".
(if I'm wrong, no need to post this comment!)
I have to second the comments of Mr. Wibble and Gilbar. She is too adorable for her own good.
I always thought my GI Joe must get sad in his footlocker if I didn't play with him for a while.
Now I need to worry about my dishes. *sigh*
Gingerific!
