Are we absolutely sure this isn’t a giant cat cover-up?

is good title

Shh, don’t tell those sneaky viruses our secrets. They’re bad enough as it is.

We burned the White House in 1812. That’s not a win. And in 1918 and ‘45 you were on the side of a big old chunk of Europe against another chunk. But hey, be proud and happy, America is taking on FIFA, and FIFA are the Doctor Evil of sports.

HOWEVER, and this is extremely important, if you’re making tea in a mug then you add hot water to the teabag, brew the tea, take the teabag out, and then and only then do you add the milk. You want high temperatures for nice tea, bitter stuff comes out if you’re trying to brew tea at cooler temps, and adding the milk…

Ugly ugly ugly car...thing.

Yes, this thing is a thing that is good.
