I read this as “comic version,” and yes, also that

"Show me - wax on, wax off."

We’re seeing this in action

Yeah, same: it’s really the loosest connections that end up slipping first when you’re not visible around these parts, I’ve found

Hi guys, did you already know there are competitions for window tinting? With better commentators than most of the tennis matches I’ve watched on ESPN? (Low bar I know)

Anyway if you need to procrastinate harder than you’ve ever procrastinated before, I got you
