“Patting” works better than “trotting” and matches closer to the rhyme scheme of the original.
Horses trot. Cats pat. Anna isn’t very good at this.

Bad keming.

Wayne & Garth are showing that Cassandra wasn’t necessary for their swordplay to schwing.
3·6 months agoNot being able to rewatch the first season/series of The Terror (wikipedia entry) is one of the few things I miss about my cancelled Amazon Prime subscription. There was a second season which, in the same anthology vein as True Detective, is unrelated to the first. I found the second season to be forgettable – in fact do not remember anything about it – and assuming the planned third season comes out as I’ve read about, will never get to see that one. First season though, loved it.

It’s a waste of your time and emotional bandwidth. Just block and move on.

This one is frustrating because the solution, while correct, seems also to be flawed.
spoiler
In any source I can find for Auld Lang Syne lyrics, the ending of the line goes “and never brought to mind?” That lines up just fine with the prompts:
Plus
When Pigs Fly!
RuminatedBut in the reveal, they give the solution for Ruminated as “Thought Upon”.
What, why? That’s not the lyric given in any source I can find, and what’s more, doesn’t even fit the rhyme scheme of the entire poem, in which the first line of each stanza/verse ends with a rhyme for “syne”. Confusing.
Has anyone got a link to a source that can corroborate/justify this “alternate” lyric?

This is the most nonpareil reply for which one could hope to the question, “does it exist elsewhere?”
Perfect subversion of expectation. Comedic precision.
