He keeps calling on France to do stuff when France is the country least likely to do said stuff.

I appreciate you proving you’re Canadian by starting with “sorry.” My apologies for my country being full of asshats.

Ok, fine. I went to high school with one of the heirs and he was a dipshit. He sold the worst weed imaginable but in bulk. You got a lot of awful weed.

It’s hard to replace CostCo in full but at least the founder threatened to murder the CEO if he ever raised the price on hot dogs. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/costco-founder-kill-hotdogs/

Canadian Tire can probably take care of most of your CostCo needs. I don’t know if they sell hot dogs for CAD $1.50 but one assumes hot dogs aren’t all that important in the context of global trade.

You can still buy Tabasco if you want. Louisiana is a red state but one of the McIlhenny heirs was a good dude. The peppers are grown in South and Central America and Avery Island (where the sauce is made) is mostly a wildlife refuge now. He only introduced one invasive species, which is pretty good for a rich guy in the 1800’s.

I live in Louisiana. The police don’t come for a few hours even if you call 911. If someone swats me, it might take 5 days before someone gets around to it. And I have a nice machete so they’ll probably just file it under “suspect had left the scene” and enjoy some overtime pay.

There’s an episode of King of the Hill where everyone finds our Hank has a narrow urethra. And his dad says, “I ain’t got a narrow ureetee. Mine’s so damn wide I could pass the child myself if I had to.”

Or something to that effect.

No one will ever know my Cajun ass ancestors are from France and that I have the gene where you’re urethra is so damn wide, you can pass the child yourself if you had to.

I encourage hostile governments (including my own) to study my DNA. It’ll ruin morale. Balls so big, they have a tenuous atmosphere and a measurable time dilation effect.

I have a friend who insists he can defeat any animal in a fight as long as he has enough size advantage and lay on the animal and pin it down. He has apparently never seen a cat, much less a chimp.

They should import some Louisiana alligators to deal with the rat problem. When the alligators become an invasive species, add Alligator Sauce Piquante to the menu. Problem solved.

Germany winning 7-1. I was a neutral but kind of rooting for Brazil just to see a fun match and home fans celebrating. It’s always more fun when a team wins at home. And then minutes later. I thought “Oh no. Namar is out and Germany is the country least likely to hold back.” Brazil players looked dejected. Anyone with empathy felt for them.

Maybe I’m a bit contrarian, which grows old but I try to balance it with sincerity and light jokes. I don’t have any particular agenda when posting on Internet forums, to be honest.

You do you as well. I would nominate “Meh, you do you.” as the Fediverse slogan if I had such powers.

Yes. And they didn’t stop. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_v_Germany_(2014_FIFA_World_Cup)

It was mean spirited.

I feel like I’m doing ok. I want the Fediverse to happen and I imagine I have way more likes than dislikes. (I don’t know how to check.)

Sometimes, jokes don’t hit. Life has upvotes and downvotes and I accept both with the zeal of a competitor.

Braaaaiiiinnns. And a 16 piece family deal, spicy, with a side of red beans, mashed potatoes, and extra biscuits.

With this kind of speed, we could invent Call of Duty games where the Zombies want slightly more than brains. Generative A.I. uses internet data for training so at first, the zombies will probably request Doja Kat in the racial chat rooms showing feet but human progress marches ever forward. Within a decade, Zombies might just want to get drunk and go to Popeyes.

I feel like this is a good idea but I also saw what Germany did to Brazil in that World Cup and there needs to be a plan for them going too far and hurting people just for living.

I don’t know anything about the tournament but I saw a photo of all 4 people in his group holding the same sized trophy and at least one was a former PGA player. I would bet they played best ball and just took the pro’s shot every time. Maybe one of the other three got lucky and hit a putt or a par 3 green or something while every other “best ball” was the professional golfer’s shot.

And Drake is already dead.
