Vagy nem tanúltad még meg, oh vilag,
Gyülölni méltóképen a királyt?

Haven’t you yet learned to loath kings, oh World?

We Mainers say the same thing. Maybe the best water just happens to be in the colder parts of the world?

A black and white mural of a cow in profile facing to the right on the wall of a H-Mart grocery store. Next to the cow are the words “Utterly delicious”. Your author views this as a wasted opportunity, as simply substituting the letter d for the letter t in “utterly” would’ve made a great pun. 

Now, I can almost hear someone say, “there’s no such thing as a great pun”. However, if you had spent twenty years married to a woman who loves cheesy puns and were a middle aged dad, the pun-that-could’ve-been would have salved your soul as you failed to get your kids to stop touching everything while waiting on your food from the Korean cafe in the supermarket.

Yes, I’m a middle-aged dad.

I believe she goes by Sharess now, if I’m remembering my Forgotten Realms lore correctly.

My favorite part of the Superb Owl was getting to sleep through it since I’m overseas.

The second best part was waking up to an overflowing cup of racists’ tears.

Non, chers médias dominants, une vidéo complotiste avec des personnes noires representées en singes n’est pas « un message polémique » ni une « controverse ». Essayez encore (c’est le mot raciste sans guillemets que vous cherchez).

My other fav didn’t like being a mid in the Royal Navy. So he convinced some enlisted sailors to desert, they stole an open boat and sailed to the U.S.

Tbh, with leadership chops like that he could’ve done well for himself in the Navy. Anyway, he ended up a dirt farmer in Kansas. 🤣

Well, after my mom passed, the family genealogy fell to me, so my question is how much time ya got?

One of my favorite is the Dutch woman who married a Puritan and fled to the New World because her dad was invited to dinner with the French King and lost his head (literally). Play the cards you got.

Pilot: Imagine if I had to do a pre-flight inspection before each flight!

Seriously though, this guy needs to go back to wondering what “Frederick’s of Hollywood” is and why it shows up in his son’s browser history.
