Non native English speaker here. So I get that a screwdriver is vodka + orange juice. And I get he is drinking it out of Phillips skull. Still don’t get the punchline.

Thanks, never heard that name before. In my mother tongue it goes by the simple name of ‘Kreuzschlitzschraubendreher’ and that is no joke.

and that name actually makes sense, like EVERYTHING in Deutsch! because it is a ‘Cross Slotted Screwdriver’… in English American, we venerate Mr. Phillips every single day, amen… whoever he was…

I recently learned of the existence of Frearson; like the Philips but without the slightly rounded inside corners.

By the look of it, black clay. Never understood why they don’t just put the skull upside down.

“There is always a relevant Oglaf” is a little-known relative of the Internet Rule “there is always a relevant XKCD”. Also, link the author of the stuff you post, it’s better manners.

It is, but Oglaf kinda brings it on itself by not having any author credit embedded in the comic images and not having an easily searchable archive on their site that I can find. Nothing was cut out from the original comic.

It isn’t hard to say “oglaf” or just link Trudys site.

What’s wrong with liking pumpkin spice? It’s cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, and it tastes good in coffee. (Although, probably wouldn’t taste good in a screwdriver.)

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with pumpkin spice. It’s been around for hundreds of years, and is delicious. This is referencing the cultural phenomenon that is Pumpkin Spice that is put in everything.

I think “bacon flavored” is more appropriate in this scenario, because I really haven’t seen pumpkin spice flavor outside of coffee, candy and pastry, whereas a few years ago you can buy bacon flavored gum, ice cream, popcorn, candy, soda, vodka, perfume… etc that it became completely absurd.

It’s a very similar cultural trajectory than bacon was years before. It’ll last longer too since it makes more sense than “bacon flavored” does.

I’ve seen far too many pumpkin spiced beer. Pumpkin pie flavor is often better, but still not my thing and too common this time of year. I have no issue with pumpkin spice as a flavor, but I don’t want it to take the place of other flavors, which it has to because taps are limited.

Interesting. What sorts of things is pumpkin spice being put into besides the typical lattes / baked goods? I ask because I really enjoy pumpkin spice.

Lots of beers. It feels like I can’t get away from them. Everyone feels like they need to have a pumpkin spice or pumpkin pie flavored beer.
