Oh my gosh, now I don’t know! What IS that??

OH my god, is that a CALF? It honestly never even occurred to me. Oh, Dave Poulin. Dave, Dave, Dave...

At least the panther isn’t being dragged along by a demonic child, like this poor dog. WHY??

I feel bad for Dave Poulin. I just spent 10 minutes going through his whole portfolio online and, while he’s not a terrible sculptor, he’s pretty terrible at doing faces, or at least eyes. And since nearly every sculpture he does is of a person, that’s an unfortunate shortcoming.

Too bad they broke up. It wouldn’t have been a satisfying relationship for either of them, but at least he might have stopped her from wearing that dress. Hey-oh!

It’s NOT an unpopular opinion. AT ALL. It’s just the OTHER opinions are shouted so much more loudly.

I came across the pun theory, but couldn’t find receipts (i.e. examples of early usage, earliest usage, evolution of phrase, etc.) so I consider it definitely unresolved. Having exhausted my Googling skills and gotten lost on random Wikipedia clicking (ask me about the various time zones of Australia! I learned some

OMG THAT’S why they all look so familiar! They all look like Derrick Barry!!

That song can’t possibly be nearly 15 years old. It just can’t!

You sure about that? I’m pretty sure the “unusual” part of “cruel and unusual punishment” means that the punishment would be unacceptable (or “unusual”) in society at large. In other words, if you don’t expect to be denied showers, clothes, or feminine hygiene products in your general life, it’s reasonable that you

Not to be pedantic, but if you want to see filth as a prison punishment, you need look no further than the Victorians.

YES!

Oh my gosh, that must have been so distracting for you! Every time he mentioned him, I’d have had to stifle a giggle. Every time. I’m doing it now. Heh heh. Ramsbottom.

I know! Can you IMAGINE suing a school board in Canada for not getting a job you were in no way qualified for?

You, ma’am/sir, are a joy and a blessing.

I typically miss the first five minutes of Modern Family because I’m distracted by THIS guy in the opening credits:

I completely understand.
