p1 – A Generic Adventurer, wearing a helmet that resembles a fishing lure, confronts a young woman at the end of a wooden pier over a swampy pond. The woman is wearing rubber boots and the old “bankruptcy barrel”, but with the middle portion out to make a bikini of sorts. At her feet is a large jug labeled ‘XXX’ Generic Adventurer: I’ve seen through your scam, Sweet_Bel98, or should I say: Catherine Fischer, AKA The Catfisher!! GA: The jig is up, GA: Now you, uh… p2 – Catfisher taunts GA by leaning back so the underside of her breasts peek out from the barrel top. GA is flummoxed, comparing what he sees to the Sweet_Bel98 online profile loaded on his phone. GA: Actually, now that I look… GA: If anything, she’s hotter than the profile pic.

What is the BWW UFC experience like these days? I lost interest 10 years ago and considering getting back in

1 Large casks. 2 Smaller cask. 3 Sets of materials for making a cask. 4 Empty large bottle. 5 His immortality.

Pretty representative set of footnotes in Moby-Dick

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

So ACAB is canon in this world?

I’m glad I saw this because it inspired me to revisit this Cracked article and I laughed my ass off www.cracked.com/blog/10-mixe...

I was panicked that my 7-year-old might freak out during the face melting scene in Indiana Jones but she said "I guess he shouldn't have opened that" as seriously as possible and I've been crying laughing for 10 minutes
