I swear this ‘debate’ has been going on ever since I was a kid, and I’m 45 this year. The epic battle between Big Butter and Big Dairy Free Spread is one of our longest and most enduring rivalries. Guess what? Being alive is associated with early death. It’s always too early too die.

Oh shut the fuck up for fuck’s sake

In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

Just realised: I’ve seen everything good on the Internet. Done the whole lot. Everything is a remix/reboot from this point on. I’m free.

Oh my God yes
