Not to be confused with Shaggy's catchphrase "Zoinks!"

By way of Yowp's excellent blog of early television development, ultimately by way of the New Rochelle (NY) Standard-Star for May 16, 1940:

Mrs. John S. Merritt of 9 Leffingwell Place, who claims to be the city’s first participant in a television broadcast, appeared last night [15] on Paul Wing’s spelling bee televised by NBC from their studios in New York. Friends and relatives, who were gathered about the Merritt home, waited anxiously for Mrs. Merritt’s appearance. She came on and the announcer asked her to spell “yoicks.” Mrs. Merritt hesitated a bit and then answered “y-o-i-c-k-e-s.” She got the “gong.” “I’d never seen or heard the word before,” she said today. Yoicks is an exclamation used to urge foxhounds in a chase. It was Mrs. Merritt’s first venture in radio or television—and “undoubtedly my last,” she said.

(Still, you wonder how the writers on Scooby-Doo back at 3400 Cahuenga came up with "zoinks!" as Shaggy's go-to phrase of stunned disbelief at encountering the monster of the week.)

ppfftt I luv how he instinctly caught her. Tho for a sec I thought he just grabbed her like that.

[yoiasa]

i may be so goddamn slow in reading this, and i'm not surviving finishing through the whole book without searching for most of the words found here though but this is a journey. not a destination.

enjoying the jp translation of the capture so far regardless, since despite knowing the book from inside out, it's not a direct 1 to 1 translation and they did some liberties to it, and i think it works well in some instances. my fave parts are the moment where after soren eavesdrop on his parents talking about the missing owlets and eggs, while the og book merely describes that he felt relieved that eglantine didn't got snatched, the tl changed that to this little gem:

Soren was shocked at his father's grave words. He looked fondly at Eglantine, sleeping beside him. (Ahh, I'm glad you weren't snatched from us while you're still just an egg. Eglantine, no matter what happens. I will protect you…)

and when soren was subjected to laughter therapy, his last thoughts before fainting wasn't isn't Oh Great Glaux! What now? but Ah... stop it! Da, Mum, help me!

Rewatching I Know What You Did Last Summer

Welcome to “A Nice Smoky Eye Is the Key to Good Mental Health, But There’s Also Nothing Like a Good Defenestration: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s4e9: I Know What You Did Last Summer

 Ruby clues the boys into the case of a young woman who has escaped a psychiatric hospital and who is being hunted by demons. Sam is ready to go check it out, but Dean needs some convincing—he’s still super sus about all things Ruby. When they find the woman, Anna, she tells them she can overhear the angels talking to one another, that this power started the same day Dean escaped hell, and that they think Dean can help them but most of them don’t like Sam at all. Several fights with bad news demons later (and after the revelation that Dean remembers one of them, Alastair, from his time in hell), Sam, Dean, Anna, and Ruby are holed up in a barn when Anna declares “they’re coming” just before Cas Floof Hair and Uriel Shit-Stirrer arrive. Cas declares that Anna must die. Roll credits. Interspersed throughout the episode are flashbacks to Sam’s time alone while Dean was in hell. We learn that Ruby is inhabiting an empty vessel at Sam’s request, that she saved his life, and that they are knocking boots. Dean is very slightly appeased about her, having learned that she saved Sam.

 Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

[and we begin:]

 Lor:

 Lor:

 Mace:

 YES

 Lor:

 omg the glare Dean is giving Sam from the background when he asks for the hospital name

 Mace:

 YAS

 Dean gets bitch-facey about Ruby

 Lor:

 Mace:

 Sam is equally bitch-sassy

 Mace:

 Lor:

 I never thought of this before, but if Sam had died while Dean was in hell, presumably he would have gone to heaven and then they would have been separated FOREVER

 Mace:

 oh YOICKS

 Lor:

 right?

 Mace:

 except Dean would have found a way out of hell and sammy would have found a way to skip out of heaven to find Dean

 Lor:

 well, yeah

 Mace:

 YEP

or that Sam just led a long life after Dean dies

 Lor:

 “hey- i don’t wanna talk about it” Ah, that Winchester sharing

Answer 1: "Say something loving and sweet to her."

Answer 2: "Say that you are looking forward to spending some time with her. Be genial."

Answer 3: "Comment upon the weather," I murmur, knowing that Frankincense must surely desire a word of affection from Rory.

Answer 4: "Er…um…that is…" My mouth is suddenly very dry.

[quarantinebot]

The worst thing about quarantine is that i have to google what yoicks means

[saintkevorkian]

what you you mean by upicks?

i take it you mean the handwritten note? it says 'yoicks' actually

[marysunburn]

So my demon OC Fletcher has a thick New Yoick (sic) accent because she’s a cartoon character.

This makes her the second American demon and as such.
