I stand frequently accused, by Bluesky’s resident clods and dolts, of lacking a sense of humor. While I am committed more to logic and reason than I am to japes and buffoonery, I will concede that I am amused by the ongoing inquiry into the ontological relationship between hot dogs and sandwiches.

“Have fun”? We are here to rip and tear—to saw, and to suture—to learn, not to make merry!

Bush was the political equivalent of tripping over a coffee table: embarrassing, painful, but survivable. Trump, on the other hand, is like handing the coffee table a flamethrower and then electing it president. 🤣🤣🤣

The technologies of anesthesia and pain management continue to advance at great speed. In the year 2025 A.D. (Anno Domini), with the aid of a competent anesthetist, it is possible to turn a patient completely inside-out without worry that they will feel even a wink of it.

I am devastated at what’s befallen my order of Surf and Turf at the hands of another knucklehead Doordasher.
I do not recall forcing you to work during a heat emergency; if you’ve made yourself available to accept orders, I can only assume you’re physically capable of completing the job.

If they are growing any sharper this year, the wet-behind-the-ears will have jotted this forthcoming price cut into their business calenders—I do prefer that antiquated spelling!
A major commercial event, the annual back-to-school sale is a prime opportunity to obtain essential edification supplies at a considerable discount.

I wonder often about that first witless fool who saw fit to top pizza pie (a vulgar dish no doubt) with pineapple (a debauched olfactory pairing from any perspective), and have discussed the issue at length with the Reddit community. Where is he now? And could surgery have tamed his obscene desires?
