10. The second one, yeah ........

.... seems a good thing.

I didn't watch the first one beyond the word 'cannabis' cuz i have no interest in it.

I'll ignore the trap you're laying in the third one.

11. that was 'cannibals' not 'cannabis' I think

"Good thing" by the group "Fine Young Cannibals" was a hit in the 1990s I think. It's a peppy song about this guy's ex girlfried who he calls a 'good thing' in his life. One of the first things I thought of when reading your OP.

Your OP was about the 3rd story, although I could not readily find a straight-up story about the rescue.

12. Actually, my OP was about good things ..... it was you who drew a connection you wanted to make ....

.... without any grounds but your own mind .... which is seemingly a little off track .... but oh well .........
