I Forgot My Password And Tumblr Sucks At Resetting It, So I Just Had To Make An Entire New Account.

for as much as i (and seemingly most people) love columbo, i even more so love stumbling upon the exceedingly rare specimen driven to madness with hatred for a tacky, pube-headed mussolini

@archie-the-menace I would literally die to do that with you yes.

Doug Rattmann Appreciation Day 2025

A new year is upon us, which means another Doug Rattmann Appreciation Day!

Every February 19th, it's a day in which we Portal fans take time to appreciate Doug Rattmann. The man hiding in the walls during the first game, the only member of the Aperture Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System team who had some sense to think "maybe we shouldn't give the computer neurotoxin after we were mean to her", and the man who risked his life to set the events of Portal in motion, and helped ensure Chell survived the long sleep until Portal 2.

So on 2/19, celebrate Doug! Make fan art, write fics! Canon or au, it doesn't matter! Whatever you can think of to give Doug some much-needed love.

Be sure to tag your creations with #drad25 and #Doug Rattmann appreciation day!

And remember: In case of Rogue AI, dial ext. 219.

Hurriedly skipping through Holmes and Watson having emotional scenes while I'm testing is really funny

It's like "But I" spacebar

"What if" spacebar

"Can-" spacebar

"Holmes, wha-" spacebar

"Perha-" spacebar

Sorry lads there's no time for that now

I just finished watching Muppet Mayhem and it was alright. One important question though. How are you going to have episode 8 be called "Virtual Insanity", and not have Dr. Teeth with one of his stupid/amazing tophats:

Doing one of the most meme-able parts of the song:

WESLEY DODDS In Wesley Dodds: The Sandman (2023)

Listen. I am a huge Stargirl fan and I will go to the grave saying how it deserved at least one more season.

But I will also always crack up during the epilogue when Shade tries to say "the Nebula Man" in such a serious and grave tone. Yeah man, I'm really going to be shaking in my boots about a guy that's known as Nebula Man.

(I get he was actually super powerful but still)

You guys know that boy who beat Tetris about a week ago now? He's from Oklahoma! (Yes, i'm just now learning this but also: Finally, something good from our state!)

But I've been thinking about this news in relation to that one Sky News reporter (you know the one), and I'm starting to wonder if her hostility was not only because of his age and her lack of understanding about how important and credible video games are to a younger generation, but also because he's an American.

To add insult to injury, he's an American from the Midwest from a town no person in Europe has ever heard of.

He's not from Boston, LA, Tampa, or any other buzzworthy place. He's a boy from a small area whose done this amazing thing, but because of all these reasons, it was beneath her to have to report about such a person.

And honestly if that's the case... she deserves to work at Sky News.

Similarities between Columbo and Vimes:

Always finds the criminal(s)

Absolutely love and worship their wives

Cigar addicts

Always investigating/mingling with the rich, but doesn't fit in with that crowd.

Later has other, younger detectives following them around and introducing new ideas and techniques.

Short little guys.

Not to mention that Pratchett wrote something along the lines of "Being investigated by Vimes was like being nibbled to death by a duck." (I couldn't find the exact quote, but I know it exists somewhere.)

Which is a play on Peter Falk's quote about Columbo:

"Being chased by Columbo is like being nibbled to death by a duck."

This was fun. Thanks for bringing it up!

Vimes and Columbo have so much in common it's crazy. (They're both coppers and are completely devoted & worship their wives)

There would be no survivors if these three met. Just putting that out there.

Tbh, if Columbo made a Tumblr account, it would be spelled like yours but only because it was a typo.

I had a genuine question, but I totally forgot what it was. Sorry.

i think columbo would hear about blogging from mrs columbo and want to try it for himself, so she'd help him set up a page. he'd have no idea how to make his own posts so he just reblogs pictures of basset hounds all day ♥️
