Just got this in my inbox. Need to try and ID as many band names and artists as possible from this image. At first glance, all I'm seeing is Matchbox 20 and Le…

I realized everyone was whispering—it seems a memo went out to the executives yesterday featuring a photo along with the proposed solutions 😬

At first, I noticed nothing but laughter and people trying to outdo one another—but then came the fury—as if someone actually asked, *wait, who has ever heard of the USPS?*—and in that moment, I felt compelled to step in.

🙂 All I got was an email with a picture attached.

So, am I gonna be a boss soon? 🤔

That does help, actually 😁

Though—looking closely at their diagram with the solutions—there isn't actually an answer for the girl in the bikini, nor for that little shrub at the bottom. They just used red circles instead. Hmm. I just realized those aren't even the official answers...

I wasn't cheating—not by a long shot. I was just your typical, true-blue nerd—sitting there under the glow of a desk lamp, fueled by nothing but coffee and cigarettes, deep in the rabbit hole of discovering new bands until the sun came up... This all actually took place a few weeks before things really kicked off here. 😁

ajnjuit 😁 —but regardless, I always end up being the last one left standing when the fake hype dies down. It seems I’ll never quite catch on... sigh. 😬

I’m with everyone pointing out the Crowded House vibes here
I’m telling you, there’s no sign of They Might Be Giants
nor any Dream Syndicate

and good luck to anyone trying to act out "discreet charm of the bourgeoisie" in a movie guessing game

Oh, come on, it’s not that hard—just squat down a little and stretch your arms out...

🙂 Look, there’s no showing the letters. You have to actually act it out and lead the guesser toward the answer through performance... 😁

Like if someone is dead asleep and then suddenly jolts awake—it wouldn't be a long comic book "ZZZ," just a quick, sharp "z..." You've gotta make it feel visceral without relying on speech bubbles.

Besides, "z" basically means "he's alive."
