Duolingo has yet to teach me how they say “vroom vroom” in Transylvania, but I’m sure we’ll get to it.

Ya no se escriben libros de aventuras como los de antes

There is a brilliant parody film to be made, for an audience of maybe eleven people, in the fact that two of the four truck drivers in THE WAGES OF FEAR are named Mario and Luigi.

I was a young stripling of a French teacher in grad school that year. One day my colleagues and I realized we’d become professors of Freedom, and our elementary language course was now titled FREEDOM IN ACTION.

Dude's wanted a military parade for himself for years and he finally makes it happen and turnout is worse than at a medium sized city's farmers market on a rainy day while like 2% of the entire country went out to protest his bullshit

"In 1642 in the town of Lemgo, Germany, local pharmacist David Welman was accused of witchcraft and being a werewolf. Anonymous hate mail was sent to him, one of which included this sketch."

One way Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk could settle this is with a reenactment of the "Top That" rap battle from TEEN WITCH, and who knows, maybe we'll get that today, it's Friday, Friday, gettin' down on Friday, everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend. Happy Friday, all.

Piers Morgan is a POS but man is this interview wild - based on the way her tone changes I don't think she realized the implications of what she said until after she said it. If you look closely you can see her realize she is absolutely cooked in real time.

Go Bears?

If I’m not mistaken, the turkeys in this children’s book are fighting over part of a human corpse they found buried on the farm

At least if that racist tornado-bait mommy with the tattoos is raising that much in donations from our substantial population of rancid white trash, she won't have to send the kids out in the dead of night to steal copper wire and catalytic converters for a week or two. Silver linings everywhere.

I don’t care who knows, it still hurts me to know I will never again order a McDLT.

We’ll need a new flag if/when our national catastrophe finally ends. On the global stage, the Stars and Stripes will have all the presence and gravitas of a wacky arm-flailing inflatable tube man.
