He probably won’t be tweeting it again because when asked to recreate this tweet they moved the mirror and he kissed a bug.

His excuse in interview is that he recycles certain tweets after follower milestones. He’s popular enough that there’s thousands of new followers who won’t have seen his tweets from years ago.

Maybe not the first season or two. But he was a series regular for six seasons for what at the time was one of the most popular television shows, ever. His character had unique staying power in that show.

When I used to swim we’d be told to just swim it off. Calf, foot, right above the knee were all things you could kinda dead leg and use the flip turn to unkink, but now and then you’d get a hamstring cramp and that’s when you just sink and stretch. There is no negotiating with a hamstring cramp.

It is a little odd that it’s going to KY from CA. All that stuff is produced in the south by big tobacco so normally it’s going the opposite direction. Maybe it was repackaged in CA, who knows.
This was released to someone they thought was legit, and then they disappeared. So someone was able to show up with the right bill of lading numbers and their info must have checked out to get loaded. So you’ve a either hack or someone on the inside.

And too frequently the person not getting it is the person who thinks they’re great at dark humor.

I think this is less about the humor, and more about the superstition about speaking something into reality.
Here’s a story for you. My grandmother never struck me as on overly superstitious person. But she was very serious when she told me that one day she had a friend over eating in her kitchen when a blackbird flew in through the window. Her friend told her that it was a really bad omen, specifically that it was a harbinger of death. The next day my grandmother’s first born was killed in a hit and run.
She couldn’t get over why her friend would even say that out loud. Not really because she thought her friend was clairvoyant but because it poisoned their relationship. She’s got one of the most negative moments in her life made even worse because of a callous prediction a friend made that now tolls like a bell any time her son comes to mind.
There are some forms of negativity that are better off left unsaid. You saying it isn’t going to burn down the house. But one day you might wish you hadn’t said it.
In the end, are you any less frugal than your parents? When confronted with an issue, all you could afford was a mean spirited “joke” that isn’t funny. People are accepting of dark humor if it actually is humorous.

I’d argue barbeque. Cultures the world over have some form of cooking things slow, frequently underground to break down tougher foods.
Deep frying is a result of excess while some form of barbeque would have been a very logical step for anyone cooking on coals.
