The vote was deemed unconstitutional by the Spanish Supreme Court. Catalonia is not and has never been a colony, therefore the UN statute on self determination doesn’t apply in this case. This is about money, Catalonia and the other 16 regions in Spain are autonomous and are ruled by their individual regional…

As I’m laying in bed reading this, I’m realizing that I’m pushed almost to the edge of the bed as my 24-lb dog has managed to stretch herself out as much as possible to take over the center of the bed, and thus make herself as supremely comfortable as possible.

That’s the old badly-held dog. Here’s his “““““stray”””””:

Maybe it’s the angle, but that “stray husky” looks suspiciously like a pure bred golden retriever puppy...

Noooooo oooooone bloviates like Gaston—forgets dates like Gaston.

No one says they met Presidents that were them like Gaston!

“I admit as a leader I’m wholly inept!”

My that’s no lie, that Gaston!

Famous Rebas: Amy Schumer. Lena Dunham. Jezebel readers.

She’s probably dating a Hotep.

Spent my entire life in Tennessee and have never heard it either.

Snatch a knot was definitely not an expression in Arkansas where I grew up.

“Are you with other roommates? Are you free to go from where you are?”

Yes, it’s definitely a young yinzer list. Man, Kennywood, Randy Land, and the Point, all family-friendly places, all double entendres.

I really hope we’re able print out the entire internet and put it in a vault so one day the aliens can fully grasp how much we deserved our demise.
