All Cubs, with some slap dash copy and paste to show them all in the right cap. My most frequently used player: Hill (311). My least frequently used player: Lindstrom (3). #RynoStrong #FO23VER

Number of days I have tried unsuccessfully to fit John Baker into the grid: 20

Grid with columns Padres, Dodgers and 200+ Hits Season Batting, and rows Pirates, Giants and 40+ WAR Career. Grid is filled with Rich Hill, Bill Madlock, Kiki Cuyler, Rod Beck, Tim Federowicz, Freddie Lindstrom, Anthony Rizzo, Jason Heyward and Ryne Sandberg. All players are pictured wearing Cubs caps. The pictures of Hill, Madlock, Beck, Federowicz, Lindstrom are copied and pasted from other sources. The picture(s) of Rich Hill have a yellow Michigan block M in the bottom right corner.

"Beet greens, the vegetable’s leafy tops, are rich in nitrates. They’re also edible and delicious, Rizzo notes. She suggests sautéing them with some olive oil, garlic and salt for a healthy side dish, or adding them to soups, smoothies and casseroles."

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

photo of the mad men cast, it would have been taken for season 6 or 7. in the foreground, from left to right shows january jones as betty francis, jon hamm as don draper, elizabeth moss as peggy olson, vincent karthesier as pete campbell, christina hendricks as joan holloway, and john slattery as roger sterling. they are framed as if at some garden party in summer attire, also behind them to the right is jay r ferguson as stan rizzo, rich sommer as harry crane, some guy with the back of his head facing the camera but i’ve seen enough of the show to know from the shape alone that it’s just kevin rahm as ted chaough, and aaron staton as ken cosgrove wearing his eyepatch.

Ooh, boy, the #Gonzo #Dickens stuff that frames the #AChristmasCarol retelling is, like, the secret sauce of what's so fun and transgressive-but-also-faithful about #TheMuppetChristmasCarol.

It's #Rosencrants&GuildensternAreDead for kids/families, I'd argue. R&GAD lite 🤓

PERFECT use of #Muppets 🤩

"The Marleys were dead to begin with."

Of course, this keeps with the trend so far, which is that we're playing with the tropes and copy that Charles Dickens created, but staying faithful to its spirit and the narrative. We have two Marleys, because it's Statler and Waldorf (great casting!), but it's very like A Christmas Carol, isn't it, and that is basically the first line of Dickens's novella/short story/what-is-it-exactly?

That's become only more resonant and nostalgic to me as I've come to appreciate Dickens more (honestly, through high school and college, I was like, fuckin snooze, man, what is getting paid by the word? and he was, lol), but kind of like Shakespeare, whom I also hate actually reading or seeing performed, I have love for these texts because I love a lot of people who love them.

"As dead as a doornail," straight to camera, and get used to that. Half of Gonzo's lines as Dickens are delivered straight to camera, which, to me, works every single time.

BUT this represents a slight departure and fun subversion, at least for our money. The actual next line is after "Marley was dead, to begin with," is "there is no doubt whatever about that." And here "As dead as a doornail," which is very Gonzo and very humorous/mirthful.

So there you have it; faithful to the source material, but kind of irreverent. Like Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead! Like, it doesn't matter how much you know about Tom Stoppard; you have to know watching that film that nobody could write it who hadn't seen Hamlet, like, four thousand times, and was well familiar with it, in a way that doesn't come from hatewatching.

Rizzo also offers color commentary on Dickens' storytelling, as himself mind you, so he's free to comment from a modern perspective and offer an amusing counterpoint to 'Charles Dickens,' whom Gonzo is playing in the very-dense, but rich-and-satisfyingly-textured kayfabe of this particular film.

Gosh, I love this movie.

"Thank you, Rizzo!" "You're welcome, Mr. Dickens."

Reinforcing the kayfabe. Okay, we call Gonzo Charles Dickens, but we still call Rizzo Rizzo, and Rizzo knows he's talking to Charles Dickens, though, to his credit, he didn't buy it, at first.

It's lampshading, but in the most satisfying and fun way possible. I'd argue, and this is coming in the main-body bleets, too, that this is the perfect application of The Muppets. It's irreverent, but with a love for the source material, which is a good way to write anything that's an adaptation or remake, and is an especially adept application of what The Muppets are good at, Treasure Island being another good example, as well, from memory.

@amuseoffyre.bsky.social

The "we're gonna be rich!" / "we're gonna be dead!" bit with Gonzo and dollars in his eyes, while Rizzo has skulls 😂

Also the fact Blind Pew's performance looks like it's based on Christopher Lee's from the 70s film! And the character Black Dog is a black dog muppet XD
