@robynneblume One of my favorite card game experiences was when everyone in my Latin class was playing Class Struggle together, using three decks. #tmh

@Nateman @robynneblume is that the one where the losers riot and the winners get to spend the next 10 years paying no tax? #tmh

@medscholaradaml The problem with house rules is that they changed from house to house. In mansions you got a pheasant, in a shack you just get shot #tmh

@MrBildango The great pyramid is just a house of cards. Thick, massive block sized cards. #tmh

@cephalopod_gal I live off of leftovers. I don’t ever even make the original meal. Leftovers just appear in little tupperware containers in my fridge. #tmh

@cSpain_Design Make your own sleeping pills: place regular pills under your pillow at night, they will absorb the sleepiness, storing it for later! #tmh

@robynneblume @cSpain_Design Sounds like we could market this to homeopathy people. We just sell them “blank” pills, rake in the profits. #tmh

@cSpain_Design @robynneblume I think we could probably even get away with just writing the word ‘pill’ on some breathmints #tmh

@g33ksq33k #tmh A little known fact about Kris Straub is he doesn’t have a chin. Beneath his beard, there is another Kris Straub, ad infinitum.

@cSpain_Design @g33ksq33k Medically his condition is known as ‘Chinfinity’ #tmh #sciencefacts

@phogan A butt chin is just a vertical double chin #tmh

@Nateman I think the moral of today’s podcast is don’t bring a gun to a knifeduck fight. #tmh

@IAmAboutUs Maybe his car uses a hamburger fuel cell #tmh

@Inanimatecarbon Everybody forgets the brave service of Officer Big Mac. Let’s support our hamburgers in blue. #TMH

—

@Minivet #tmh L’hammerdeur is the 17th century hamburger-filching vagabond hero.

@kcbanner The Hamburgler has to defend the Hamburg Hammerdereur Hideout with hardened ham crowbars #tmh

@NickyTheRat If this conversation continues long enough, eventually all language will become meaningless. #tmh

@jddennis Trying to imagine Ronald McDonald as Batman. Not exactly working. #tmh

@CSpain_design A group of crows is called a murder; when there’s only two of them it’s called an attempted manslaughter #tmh

@Albedo12 #tmh Who are the movers and shakers in the world of seismology?

—

@CSpain_design I keep my batteries in things I don’t need batteries in. That way I don’t feel bad about taking them out to put them in other things. #tmh

@robynneblume @cSpain_Design I’m picturing a bunch of cardboard boxes, each with lots of battery compartments. #tmh

TMH LIVE in Boston PLUS TMH Meetup!

We’ll be at ROFLCon this weekend to do TMH LIVE on Saturday, May 1, at 11:30 AM. If you’re coming to ROFLCon, we hope to see you there!

We say that in a sort of weird tense because we’ve just learned that tickets to ROFLCon have sold out. So, if you’re going, you’re going, and at this point it’s too late to suddenly decide to. The TMH Live show will be streamed with video, though, either on this site or at a link we’ll provide on our Twitter.

BUT — do not despair! We’re also doing an informal TMH Meetup at the Asgard, 350 Mass. Ave in Cambridge, on Friday night (April 30) from 9-midnight.  If you can’t make it to ROFLCon (or, I guess, even if you can) we double-hope to see you there!

Oh and what’s that thing up there in the picture? You’ll just have to come and find out!!
