Now now, there’s enough Idris Elba to go around :eyes exit nervously:

This is way too energy efficient for the coal rolling bros. He’s capturing waste heat and using it to cook his breakfast. That’s like some Kenyan socialist’s idea of manly behavior. Before you know it Cruz will be building a composting outhouse with driftwood and growing his own patchouli. What a wuss.

If lions weren’t endangered, I’d be all for allowing people to hunt them — with spears and no backup, that is.

That’s never going to happen in America. You’d have to get rid of the Second Amendment first, and even if you ever managed to do so by the time you were ready to legislate an outright gun-ban 3D Printer technology would make it a meaningless gesture.

Well at least in the 1990’s the North Koreans were winning this particular battle, broken clock has to be right twice a day and all that.

I hear you, I have about the whitest skin possible without suffering from albinism ( Irish + Scandinavian heritage ). It’s such a pain in the ass, tan lines suck and I worry about skin cancer. Yet another reason I wish my mom had married Idris Elba.
