Poor Foster with the lively imagination trying to bring levity to his boring job was chastised and required to toe the company line, else be relieved of his court reporter duties. As it was it shall ever be.
The Doodler. A man after me own heart.
Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989 and Internet usage didn't rise to 20% until 1996.
#6 proves Karl Pilkinton's axiom that Asians don't age well. Even Goldblum looks a little eastern tonight...
Forster’s the bomb! Makes giving my data to the Chi Coms all worth it
I succumbed to the 47 year old child and to the 'mediaeval doodler', which video I found fascinating. Foster, whose (albeit temporary) freedom bureaucrats everywhere will fantasize about: one cartoon too many and back to the ordinary clerk's drudgery he's sent.
What do we call the TT maker's English accent? I've never heard the Latin rotula pronounced with such serious... rhotacization is perhaps the word; it sounded like he'd added some K and some H and some CH, too.
I love Jeff Goldblum. So funny.
Poor old Forster.
Forster is so much more entertaining than CM/ECF.
Forster in the court records was pretty cool. But I liked the Japanese Grandmother's home tour. Great home.
Jeff Goldblum ad was a great ad for it's time. But then, Apple had great ads once upon a time when Steve Jobs was around.
What's wrong with being a computer person? I was telling some young people at work about the old (pre-internet) days and 8 1/2" floppies. Sometimes now, if I give up on a webpage that takes more than a fraction of a second to load, I'll think about the early internet days when I had time to get up and go to the bathroom or fix a snack while I was waiting for a page to load.
The high IQ baby and the Japanese house are wonderful.
Every now and then I mention that I worked on computers back in the Eighties before DOS, in fact, I knew CPM. People just look away and say "Oh yes, I've heard of DOS." Of course, I have only one story from that era or a little later which is that someone made a disk which seemed to load a game called Doom. But if you hit "Play" it erased the entire hard drive and that was seen as hysterically funny. Especially if you were trying to sneak a game on the repair team's computer and you caused all the records to be erased. "Doom, see," ha, ha. (That joke is harder to understand than "CPM" these days. But at that time people were still really paper-based and weren't dependent on the computer though the shift was going on. Computers crashed all the time anyway.)
Liked all the Tik Toks today in different ways.
"The Japanese grandmother's house." I enjoyed. Goldblum #2.
The Japanese grandmother's house was my favorite. So many details and one that caught my eye was the price tag on one of the items from one of her trips abroad - looked like it was in Swedish (or Danish or Norwegian) kronor. The garden is really nice.
I loved the Japanese grandmother’s garden. Beautiful!
The baby just passed a little wind
No question it's the young person at 3. If instead of tiktok I'd met her in person she'd be the most interesting conversationalist my whole day. I would learn Chinese to talk with her some more.
Looking closer, I guess it's not all that similar, but my immediate reaction to Foster's hand and chain doodle was: "Whoa, that's Run the Jewels!"
1) Grandma's house and 2a) High Emotional IQ child followed closely by 2b) 47 year old child.

Of course there's nothing wrong with being a computer person. But back then a lot of non tech savvy people were very anxious about using computers. So the ad was clever in making them comfortable about using them.
I remember the long waits for pages and operating systems to load. Back around 2000, I had to check emails ever morning at home for work. First thing I did when I got out of bed was to start the modem and computer. Usually I was ready to read emails after brushing my teeth and making coffee.
Things are better now, but we've lost the magic and wonder of the Internet. As we've done with cars, TV and airplanes.
Foster by far!
By the way, can we fix up a match for the table rep with the hiking-trail-and-mountain-house guy? They'd make a sensational double act.
"Forster" reminds me of Terry Forster, long-time southpaw MLB pitcher, most famous today for being described by David Letterman as "a fat tub of goo".
The Japanese grandmother's house wins.
The kids emotional IQ second.
The Foster doodling third.
The dinner rep. Barf. Wouldn't want to dine with her.
I would love to spend a day in grandmother's garden.
If the Table Representative's schtick is to make me hate on her, then mission accomplished.
Japanese House looks poorly insulated.
I felt like the guy looking at the Plea Roll from the middle ages should have been wearing white gloves.
The Table Representative is comedy.
I do note, however, that there is a comment over there from someone who works as a server who says we servers love this person.
That is, this is a comic exaggeration of the person, with the annoying qualities heightened, but there is a real function here that is appreciated by the server.
Gobsmacked that there are people who couldn't see she was doing a bit. Good thing there are real problems or I'd be depressed by this.
