I think people who take their coffee with skim milk are the most mentally disturbed of all. That shit tastes like despair and starvation.

By this logic, people who regularly drink Frappuccinos are the least psychopathic among us, and I refuse to accept that.

What, now i’m a psychopath because I actually like the taste of coffee?

Whatever. The fast and loose sugar people, they’re the real monsters. Yeah, I said it.

These guys need to work on their infographics skills. WTF are varying shades of grey, do they mean anything or just random crap? Red blob next to “Life threatening?” looks very dangerous, but I guess it means “No”. Instead of using stupid inconsistent icons just say “Yes” or “No”, it will be much more clear.

I would just like to put in a good word for baldfaced hornets. We had a nest by the driveway and an apple tree in the back, so they would go back and forth. They were perfect gentlemen the entire summer. Yellow Jackets are assholes, not these guys.

Where do I sign up for priestess training?

Happy Colobus Day to everyone! It’s truly fitting to have a special day to consider the contributions of our favorite monkey pals.

I’m guessing some people don’t do their research & don’t realize that — I’ve always been told that Elvis was the one who “made it okay” for white kids to listen to rock ‘n’ roll, which speaks more to the asinine racial divisions of the period than to any credit people might give Elvis for “inventing” it.

White people have discovered that they are the REAL victims of racism and prejudice recently as well.

barf.

You CAN enjoy pho! Pho is delicious. Just like, don’t act like it’s some cool new food that you became hip to before everyone else.
