“BARCELONA FANS LOSING THEIR MINDS AGAIN”
Yeah, that Messi, such a slacker not carrying Argentina to the European Championship. I mean, they’ve never even made the tournament!!
My favorite part is that speech he give Marie in the diner...
Because, you know, one can’t exactly discover a new place if nations of people were already living there for centuries.
Fall in Maine and outdoor sex doesn’t sound like a grand idea to me. Wind-chapped, frost-bitten naughty bits and hungry bears getting ready for hibernation? No spank you.
The thing is based on all the pictures, I think that’s exactly what they did. Silly Kanye portrayals without any black face.

Yet another role that could have gone to a naturally bald actor.
The only ones I don’t immediately think are stupid are things like Olympic athletes with a small set of the Olympic rings or something in the same vein.
I sometimes feel like I’m the only person out there who thinks 99% of all tattoos are terrible regardless. Either the tattoo means nothing and looks stupid or the tattoo means something to you and looks stupid to everyone else.
Here’s a solution for those terrified Americans worried about their rights; maybe look into marooning yourself on an island without any rules and govern yourself like Lord of the Flies or The Beach—then don’t send any word on how it works out.
Curious? At what salary point does a human being stop deserving friends? Friends who want their friends to be happy? The right to feel normal human emotions?
