  • The beach where I used to live had quicksand and people had to be rescued from it at least once a week, usually more. So it was a pretty big concern, actually, and I had to make sure my kid and his friends didn't end up in it (they did, several times).

    • The name "seagull" implies the existence of landgulls, airgulls, and firegulls.

  • Seagulls aren't a thing. Just gulls.

  • In the books he was such a caring guy. The rape scene was just sensationalist claptrap.

    • Why does everyone hate Income tax ?

    Jump

    • Dolph is prime human

    Jump

    • Chocolate chip is a great cookie, but only if it's melty. If it's crunchy, it's just an average cookie.

  • Then it's a biscuit (UK style).

  • De cadeaubon is voor spulletjes die ze misschien verloren hebben toen ze het bos uit moesten. Ze kregen allemaal een hotelkamer.

    Na de top zijn sommige mensen opgevangen en sommige zijn weer teruggegaan naar het bos (vrijwillig).

    Deze headline is waardeloos.
