Doldrums and Oddities: Share Something Bemusing

I saw Joe Rogan do standup several years ago and he ended his set with a very graphic description of a video called "Two men, one horse." It was as funny as it was... gut-wrenching.
So this is a real place and these are real prices:
For eighty bucks a pop, I expect real friggin' spaghetti, not "spaghetti".

Chicken does contain a K. And I am certain you can find someone out there that will be willing to tell you that a business name containing three K's is a dogwhistle to indicate that the owners are down with white supremacy. Everything else is, and if I recall someone on this very forum once made that claim regarding a place called "Korner's Country Kitchen" or similar.
Everything is someone's fetish.
Once upon a time UPS's routing was screwed up and packages coming from CA would "orbit" WV at least a few times, going between Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia in a loop.
You left out the naps and cuddles that are used to gaslight you into believing it isn't an abusive relationship.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Owning a cat is basically an abusive relationship which is why I'll never understand "cat people." Kinda sad, actually; this from a guy who just cleaned a litter box just to see his gf's fucking cat hop in it and shit seconds later. I hate this goddamn cat.
Yeah, but when I come home from work this evening, there will be two dogs wagging at me and a cat perched atop the couch waiting to be scratched. She used to just nap on my lap for as long as possible before we got th second dog - the second dog seems to have upset the meta for pets.
In the past 5 years, we've tried two additional kittens and a dog, none of which were tolerated by the queen b*tch cat. I didn't want the kittens (they were kinda forced on us by my gf's friend's mom) but I wanted the dog, and Ellie (queen b*tch) wasn't having it. I don't know which was worse, that she didn't get along with other animals or the fact that my gf kowtowed to the demands of a fucking cat who does little more than shit, piss, sleep and, most recently, demand wet food every 20 minutes. I really hate this cat.
Funny (but NOT funny,) a couple weeks ago, my gf got so fed up with Ellie, she contemplated having her put down (she's almost 15 years old.) I say "funny" because my gf doesn't like to kill anything; seriously, when she swats a fly, it's 4-5 slaps to make sure it "doesn't suffer." She doesn't like dark humor or even joking about killing anything; to hear her admit to a friend that she thought for even a second about euthanizing her cat of 15 years means Ellie's antics have taken her to a very dark place. Imagine Mother Theresa standing over the bed, pillow in hand, of the most demanding patient in a retirement home; Ellie's days are numbered, apparently...

More realistically, imagine Mother Teresa not giving pain meds to patients so they can "suffer like Christ on the cross", except that that's a thing she actually did.
I've got a 10y old beagle brittany mix named Hunter, a ~3y old tuxedo pattern short hair cat named Lucy (alternately Lucifer if she's being bad), and a ~3y old hound mix of some kind (you can see the beagle in her, think she's mixed with basset, some kind of terrier, or both - whatever it is her parentage favors short legs) named Monday. Hunter has been with my wife well before I was in the picture, we got Lucy as a kitten, and Monday about a month ago.
Hunter is pretty chill with whatever, so long as he gets his treats and his pets. Except for black guys (especially around their mid-teens to early 20s), he's a pretty overtly racist dog. But then my wife saved him from being beaten with a pipe by two young black guys, which also explains his aversion to anything long and arrow, like brooms, mops, uncle rollers and the like. He is the cuddliest thing and he especially loves kids. Only bit one person in his life, and it was my wife's ex-husband, and he deserved it. Broke her nose, got a hole worth a dozen or so stitches in his leg. That was the night she left him and called her daddy to come get her and bring her back home. From halfway across the country.
Lucy is attached to him, she was a runt and bullied by her siblings and rejected by her mom before we got her, he was the first four legged thing she'd ever seen that was nice to her. She absolutely will not tolerate another cat (I don't blame her, given her background). She was wary of Monday for about a week, then curious, now she's OK with her in a way she very definitely isn't and doesn't become with other cats.
Monday's the new pup in the house. She was found by one of the employees at the shelter, she was staying under an abandoned car in an overgrown field with a litter of puppies. Shelter named her Monday and her puppies Tuesday-Sunday. She's a sweetheart who's happy so long as someone is showing her attention. Hunter's jealous, but we kind of expected that. He'll likely get over it once he's used to her. We're worried there's something up with her back right leg after she was spayed - it was apparently a rough surgery due to her being "inappropriately bred", they were estimating her age at around 3 and that she's likely had at least as many litters.
The resurgence of flip phones. Remember when we "evolved" into flat smart phones, and flip phones looked like dinosaurs? What's next? TVs that double as furniture when floor-model tube TVs come back in style?

Bonus points if they bring wood grain back.
Japan never got rid of them, so they never resurged over there. I honestly almost would not mind a flip phone as a back up phone.
This thought is an old one and thankfully, no longer applies. Here in Michigan, whenever you traded in a game at GameStop, you had to input your thumb print in front of the cashier/cash register. The reason being they're technically a pawn shop. This rule started around 2012 and ended around 2018. The big problem is no other used game store in the entire state did this! Not Disc Replay, not 2nd & Charles, not the comic book shops, not Game Play, nor Super Fun Game Time. So why the fuck was GS the only one to do this. Everyone hated the law/rule and knew it was stupid and nonsensical.
I am just glad they got rid of it, even if it took nearly half of the decade to do so.
Vinyls never went away. They've often been the choice of traditional DJs, and audiophiles claim the purity of their sound. I can't think of anyone who's missed the bulk and lo-def of a 20th century tube floor model.
We hired a chimney sweep to clean our chimney today, and I kid you not, this dude shows up wearing a dusty top hat and within 45 seconds of being in our home, started speaking in a British accent akin to Dick Van Dyke from Mary Poppins. He's not British. The only thing he's missing is soot smeared all over his face.
EDIT: He was weird, but a nice guy. We asked how he preferred to be paid, and he said "gold, silver, doubloons and precious gems, but if you've got credit, debit or cash, I accept those as well." I appreciate his pageantry; mad a dirty job a little fun.

Up the road from where I live, they're building a KFC next to a Planet Fitness and I'm really getting mixed messages.
