I just want to point out that this is actually a pretty awesome part in the comic and a move pulled straight out from one of Mark Twain’s novels. In this scene Tintin and Captain Haddock have been catered by people who are unaware that  a solar eclipse does not mean the sun is being eaten, destroyed, stole, etc. It just so happens that tomorrow, the date of their fated exception by said people, there will  be a solar eclipse. So during the execution Tintin pretends to be a god and steal the sun so the people will release him, and it works! 

This was taken straight from Mark Twain, in is book “Yankee in the King’s Court.” It’s a comedy(at least by interpretation) of a New Yorker traveling back in time and ending up in a medical kingdom. When condemned to death by the King, because how was a Yankee supposed to know proper knightly etiquette, he uses his knowledge of a solar eclipse to escape his death sentence. 

So yeah!

Tintin remembers what comes after 15.

Actually forget every other post about “primal” feelings and actions, the most connected to my early hominid ancestors i have ever felt in my LIFE is when slowly following an increasingly panicked sheep. I believe that slowly following ungulates is the most primally human activity in existence

One of the baristas at a nearby Starbucks makes me lose my mind every time I’m working there by saying things that are not outside the spectrum of normal human words but are just slightly off-the-wall.

Barista: Welcome to Starbucks, home of delicious, what deliciousness can I put in motion for you today?

Customer: … Can I get a trenta pink drink please?

Barista: Go big or go home, we here at Starbucks appreciate your commitment, what else can I get started for you?

***

Customer: Nitro cold brew with shots of espresso please.

Barista: Brave of you to commit to staying awake for three days, anything else today?

***

Barista: *slams open drive-thru window* HI HOW ARE YOU?

Customer: …I’m pretty good.

Barista: Are you ready to be even better? Because you’re about to be. *hands them their coffee* 

***

Barista, realizing that a drink was made wrong: *slams open window* SO how do you feel about surprises?

Customer: ….they’re okay.

Barista: Great because I’m about to give you one.

***

Barista: You have two drinks so I am going to hand you two straws which means, FANTASTIC news, these straws double as drumsticks. / You have one drink so I am going to hand you one straw and, promise not to tell anyone, this straw doubles as a magic wand.

***

Barista: Here are those cake pops, I plucked them fresh from the tree myself.

***

Barista: *slams open window, holding drink* Amazing, fantastic, delicious, you are a very lucky man/woman!

***

Barista, realizing drink is being delayed or remade: Looks like it’s gonna be just one minute so they have time to put the extra love in.

***

Barista: I’ll be with you in one hot second. *beat* WOW that second sure was hot!

Anyway she has a few dozen catchphrases she rotates appropriately and it’s both distracting and fantastic to listen.
