It depends
No it is NOT.
"you know what this means? Some dick has my pen!"
No it is NOT.
I hate that I get this reference. I blame National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
When I was a kid, this was a pre-internet pre-snopes urban legend that got passed around. Similar to the "Rod Stewart stomach pump", the "Satanists are stealing kids and sacrificing them in the woods", "drug dealers are putting heroin in candy", and "Old lady has a can of biscuits explode in her car, so she goes to the emergency room clutching a biscuit to her head claiming that she's holding her brains in from a gunshot"
You know, stuff that's such obvious bullshit you wonder why people believed it in the first place even without snopes.
Well, this was the case with the origins of the line, "bring in the rubber sheets and gerbils", which, as an 11-year-old watching the movie with her parents, I did not understand. And I had no internet to explain it, so I straight-up asked my parents what it meant. They told me they wouldn't explain the "gerbil" thing until I was ...I want to say 15. (Maybe 16, it's been a while). But, by God, I did NOT forget, because it was rare there was something my parents wouldn't explain to me. How bad could it possibly be that my parents squirm?! I asked a number of times over the years, and I when I was finally old enough, they explained the origins of that myth.
I have never regretted asking my parents something more than that moment.
I had a similar questioning moment in my childhood with this scene from Animal House
that my parents wouldn't explain.
I couldn't figure out what the rubber glove and "supposed to be this soft" question was all about, so I imagined she must be playing with his poo.
I have a screenshot of my watch from when my son did the same thing.
I think it was because he was complaining because he couldn't stay up an extra half hour.

You know good and well Blanche is the bard, and why.
No, Rose is a Paladin. She’s lawful good and her faith is unshakeable, she could not be anything else.

Like Patrthom said - Rose is a Paladin, Blanche is a Bard, Sofia is a Wizard, and Dorothy is a fighter.
Though, I mean, there are some gaming systems where "Bard" is just a specialized path of the Rogue class.

Sophia could be a thief/assassin with all the Sicilian background she has.

Are Paladins known for their storytelling abilities? No? Case closed. Rose is a Bard.

When all the stories are about "Saint Olaf," and nobody really wants to hear them but she keeps telling them anyway, she is definitely a Paladin.
I recently read that Alyssa Milano traded her Tesla so as not to be associated with Nazis. She replaced it with a Volkswagen. I don't know who's gonna tell her, but I know I want to be in the room when they do.
edit: I do not think the current version of VW is Nazi-connected, but if you're going to explicitly say your reason for getting a different car is to avoid the Nazi association........
I’ll take “Thing I Never Wanted to Think About” for 500, KenOne of the great questions of our age:
