We have two brothers. Their names are Rocky and Rambeaux.

We call Rocky "Rockity Pockity Man" and Rambeaux is "Rambles Wambles Tambles Mambles."

Dogs on their way to eat pure uranium (you didn't actually give them permission, but they thought you did)

I'm out of the loop. Is this ball balancing image a political metaphor with which I'm not familiar, or is this just demonstrating the weird arbitrary limitations put on AI image generators?

Word Crimes for taking a song about dubious consent and changing it into a legitimately educational song.

That doesn't sound fair to Greenland if/when Trump loses.

According to Harvard Business School, in 1937 J. D. Rockefeller's net worth amounted to 1.5% of GDP. In today's wealth, that would amount to about $415.8 billion. And to be honest, I have more faith that the Rockefeller number represents an accurate representation of the real, if not necessarily liquid, wealth that he commanded, whereas rather more of the modern-day billionaires' wealth is smoke and mirrors based on their own bullshit evaluations of what their assets are theoretically worth.

It's still a contest between which dragon is lying on top of a bigger hoard of ill-gotten gold, but those gilded age fucks were really historically impressive.

Three German engineers at the very peak of giddy anticipation about to introduce their crowning achievement to a cheering crowd:

You've got to check your card.

Normally the metaphor isn't this literal.

That sounds awesome, and isn't that terribly expensive, honestly. My wife and I went on a similar route road trip for our honeymoon a few years ago and it was in that same ballpark of cost, between car rental, hotels, and other expenses.

Money is no object?

Alpha Centauri. Build a spacious and comfortable Orion Drive ship for me and a few thousand of my best friends to go on a nice long trip.

The idea did occur that I'd better be damn sure that I like whatever honey I'll be eating for the rest of my life.

The flak canon was a ton of fun, but I have a special fondness for the slime gun. Primary fire leaving a bunch of slime balls around was hilarious, as was running around with the secondary charged up, just hoping to run face first into someone and fire it at point-blank range, killing you both. Strategic or tactically sound? No. But hilarious.

Let's all take a look at how well it worked out when America provided support for the Mujahideen in their war against Russia, but then withdrew that support when it was no longer convenient for us.

I love the idea that a product was created to prevent prisoners from smuggling heroin, but then someone said "You know, I bet that would sell great at Sharper Image."

A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any other invention with the possible exceptions of handguns and Tequila.

I definitely assume that Palmetto Cheese is just ground-up palmetto bugs.

"I declare myself President for life!"

"So you're saying there's exactly one very particular way for us to make you not be President anymore...?"

"Uh..."
