Coworker's daughter comes to the office so there's a small assortment of toys here. She hasn't been in the office much this summer, so some of the small brightly-colored things are collected in a box over near the coffee maker. A box which previously held donuts. Every. Day. I think Oh hey, donuts!
A friend, former employee actually, went to see Rocketman so she posted on FB, "What's your favorite Elton John song?" and people posted some videos, I could have gone with something no one's heard but I said Funeral/Bleeding and other people were GYBR and stuff, a few Benny &the Jets/Crocodile Rock people but for the most part, the good stuff, and she finally comes back with her favorite: "I'm Still Standing."

Yeah, that isn't his finest work. In the movie however, it fit perfectly. I was prepared to hate Rocketman, but I thought it was great. c.
Anything's gotta be better than the Queen one.
There was a movie called Rock Star a couple decades ago that I honestly thought was supposed to be a comedy, but after I'd watched it a few times and kept raving about this new Spinal Tap, someone told me it wasn't supposed to be funny. Bohemian Rhapsody was right in there...
Ouch. What really impressed me about Rocketman was Taron Egerton singing everything himself. Lip-syncing would have ruined it. c.

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but Ryan Zinke resigned with a letter he wrote using a dry red Sharpie.
I had a thermodynamic teacher who sprung a pop quiz on us early on a Saturday morning class (yeah, my mistake...). I wasn't prepared and performed poorly. The Prof took a red sharpie and colored 95% of the front of the test page red, and in the remaining white corner he wrote 'over' with an arrow to the back. On the back of the page he wrote 'WRONG'. When passing the results out the next week neglected to give me my test back, he made a good show of his displeasure when he made me specifically come to the front of the room to retrieve it with everyone watching.
Did that spur you to do better?
I've heard similar horror stories from friends in engineering programs. A few of them were taking the same 101-level course in a huge auditorium when the professor handed back homework. Before he did, however, he called out the names of about five students and said, "Please come up to pick up your homework." As the five made their way forward through the packed hall, Prof picked up their work and tossed it on the floor, saying "You did not submit your work on time. Late homework will not be graded or accepted."
I hope technical programs are kinder and gentler these days, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
