1. In Japan, they don't say "See? I told you!"
2. Stop saying "This photograph looks like a Renaissance painting."
3. In what world would he eat 20 tortillas?
4. She made a pact with herself to have higher standards.
5. When your partner makes a bid for your attention.
6. Do you want to go to a haunted house?
7. Do you want... a what?
8. Here, take this harmonica.
9. Hey, a tambourine man.
10. And, here, just in case you need a dancer to interpret "Like a Rolling Stone."

#9. That’s Mister Tambourine Man!
The interpretive dance is missing. I kept watching, wondering when the dance was going to start. (It's been a long day.)
The haunted house children are adorable. The Baroque guy was interesting and taught me something but #5 is the one I'm most likely to share because I think more people need to hear it and be aware of what they are doing when their partner makes what seems like a casual remark but is really a bid for attention.
Sorry, I had the wrong link at #10. Try it now.
Turn a trans narrative all the way up to 11.
Re 11:
The female version as a short essay was a staple of Ms magazine-era feminism.
The photograph/painting guy. I would like to baroque his face.
And...you just killed my love for tortilla chips and salsa.
And Little Miss Knuckle Sandwich has an interesting life ahead of her.
20-tortilla guy knows how shows how to play this game. Crunchy and funny, the only keeper in the set.
The others are just so-so. Litter boxes made of ticktockery and they all look just the same.
I can understand why people used to have children. In many ways they're more entertaining than television. Cost more than even premium streaming so there's a downside....I'm glad that guy cleared up the misunderstanding surrounding the differences between Baroque and Renaissance photos. Now I can get to sleep.
I liked the dancing. On the surface, it gives the impression of something anyone could do. But actually, it requires a lot of athleticism.
I forgot to mention before that I also liked the tambourine man.
But #7, where does a child learn that?
He is 100% correct - I will now say Baroque and not Renaissance.
"But #7, where does a child learn that?"
We discussed that here at Meadhouse. I said she must have watched The 3 Stooges. Meade surmised that some older sibling was saying that to her.
If you google "knuckle sandwich," you'll find a lot of sandwich shops are named that.
Yikes, did you notice that if you take 4 and 11 as representative of the two sexes, they are in a perfect counterpoise of relationship doom? That’s what happens when your society messages that the highest goal of all is self-fulfillment.
The spousal bidding one is a keeper, usefully noted re Baroque art, and the dancer — does she have any bones at all? — was great to watch.
6 is too much cuteness.
"...anyway, I've been single for 5 years."
I've got to say, her punchline was perfectly timed.
Baroque guy is correct but kind of irritating. My (adult) daughters would accuse him of "mansplaining".
After his last relationship the trucker made a pact with himself that he would never marry someone who didn't meet his standards again...
#3 hits it home. hard.
4. ... that bit at the end tells the story of the pool of males for her. Not much.
The heterosexual man who wants a husband. This is suitable fodder for ridicule, but a million "think pieces" on straight women who want a wife produce a million knowing nods.
Re: #11
The gay guy says, "I know he doesn't speak for all men..."
Okay, so what's his point? Who's he talking to? Is he trying to undermine women's confidence in their ability to find a mate they can be happy with?
Does he just want a female friend to stay with him and together they can bitch about the men in their lives?
Maybe he's looking for a female roommate for companionship and to share expenses. He doesn't care if she dates or if her guy walks around the house with his shirt off as long as she doesn't leave him to go off with that guy and start a family and leave him all alone.
I don't know who comes across as sadder and lonelier here, the narrator or the trucker.
"We're taking the TikToks up to 11 tonight..
That's the thing with addictions, you Always develop a tolerance, and you ALWAYS increase dosage
Stop saying Renaissance…this guy makes me want to keep saying it. He’s a condescending dick. This was a great opportunity to educate and not chastise.
I likes the knuckle sandwich, and I'll throw in a first vote for the twin harmonica toddlers.
Coincidentally, I’m heading to The Boston Ballet this afternoon and one of the pieces is described as “Set to music by the idolized rock band The Rolling Stones, this visual feast transforms the theater into a concert arena and will have audiences dancing in their seats.”. Should be fun.
If it ain't baroque don't fix it.
And if a woman made a TIKTOK about wanting to find a hetero partner she'd be a hero speaking truth to the power of testosterone. This guy is obviously speaking from pain and trauma but big eyed tan guy chooses to mock him.
I wonder if #9 would like to meet #4?
#11 needs to watch The Odd Couple.
When your partner makes a bid for your attention ... I saved this one to watch again. He's right, and I'm guilty of this more than I want to admit.
I have gifted my toddler neices and nephews many a kazoo, harmonica, electric keyboard, and other noisemakers. Only one of my siblings figured out that letting the kids play with them in the bathtub was the best way to end the noise.
Most valuable was #5. Most enjoyable was #10
Man, I wish I could dance.
Baroque/Renaissance guy is right and proved to himself that his art history degree did serve some purpose, but he does repeat himself. Who knew a minute could stretch out that long.
Wonderwomegan wants to much from the world. Also, I wondered about her not wanting someone who wasn't her match as she displays her bosom and cleavage? Will her new partner have to compete with her there as well?
From what I can see of the world today, most gay guys would probably rather be with the trucker than with the pink shirt guy, and most straight women would prefer the pink shirt guy to the truck driver. So why was the revolution necessary?
It's not that her "higher standards" are unreasonable, it's that she goes in with the idea "I'm the one who gets to order off the menu here. This is all about me."
I guess Rolling Stone stands up to anything.
