Sometimes you have a thought or idea that you think is 100% unique and original and then you do five seconds of Googling to discover that not only have a lot of other people thought of it before, but they thought of it long before you ever did and may already be a thing you never knew about. You have a Today I Learned moment and life goes on.
…and then there’s whatever the fuck this idea is that should have never even left his mouth to begin with. It’s one thing to drop this granule of insight down on the bar while you’re sharing a beer with your pals after you’ve had one too many already. It’s another to hear it come from someone that once led the country and some people think is smart. Holy Jesus.
I’m really high and I really don’t mean this to come across as critical but what was the thought process in adding the s to bateman? If you skip the s the joke still makes sense and you get to keep the last name intact.
Honestly? You ascribe far more intentionality than I had.
It was probably autocorrect or habit. Used to have an employee by that name, who, may have frequented our texts…
The final straw was going on a crusade to figure out who ate his “Craft cup cakes” (from a cup cake shop. Disgusting things- they used shortening in the butter cream.)
The thing was, he left them on the coffee service where we leave things for sharing. (Donuts, bagels. Cupcakes.) basically everybody walked by and had them a slice of cupcake.
Well, that’s because Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

When will Jason Bateman be cast as Batman?
When he stops being “Master Batesman”

1969 - Hogan’s Heroes. Col. Klink is shown a insignia button found in the woods. “it says ‘us’” he says (to canned laughter)
So only 54 years ago confirmed evidence that it had been thought of before
