My buns are made of steel. I have a pic of them somewhere around here... Here you go: /uploads/resized/files/tr/07jqqy848l2dvvvg.jpg

Interesting perspective. The more wealthy thought the opposite in that they felt the Covid regulations were meant to shake up the status quo and bring...

The better solution is to show up late so you miss your flight so you can wait 10 hours for the next flight.

The object of a fair economic system should be to create a system where everyone can equally strive for and achieve success, with some of course perfo...

I just had me a glass of tawny port. It seemed festive, outdated, and quirky, so it was fitting that I wore my monocle while drinking it. I now feel l...

I found two solutions: heat and alcohol. The bugs and eggs die at temperatures over 50 degrees Celcius, 122 Fahrenheit. A steam cleaner would kill the...

Your post brought to mind the issue of climate change and policies responsive to it. The question of risk assessment is twofold: (1) that of assessing...

"Important" is probably the best description of my entry. Mentioning me, Joyce, and Dostoevsky in the same post makes sense. We afterall composed the ...

I had not intended to enter this contest, but in a sudden rush of energy, I created a masterpiece last evening on the laptop that teetered on my belly...

My head just fucking exploded.
December 23, 2023 at 18:34
I know. I was referring to the entries as meaning the number of buns you had in your oven.
December 23, 2023 at 16:46
How many entries so far?

We have plenty of fresh eggs, so that's never a problem. It's the elusive nog that makes it a challenge. I sat shivering in the nog stand for hours an...

The best candy bar generally is the Snickers bar because it serves as an emergency ration, tiding one over until the next full meal. It's limitation o...

It is actually. The Wittgenstein humor market is very small, and if I can't get at least a smile here, I have few other avenues to present it.

GUYS! PLEASE! I'm spouting some award winning nonsense in the Shoutbox this holiday season, and I would like at least some recognition. Where is S whe...

That happened to me once in the DMZ as well, making my ascent from South Korea to the less favorable North just that much more hazardous.

No, sorry, we read it in German and through a line of translaters (German to French to Spanish to German to English) we have it finally translated int...

I don't see why he's fighting to be on any ballot considering he's already told us the elections are rigged. Why does he want to enter a contest where...

Why am I being asked to read that? I don't see what it has to do with people eating people.

Speaking of unusual meats for consumption, I give you what will likely be your biggest WTF moment of the day, perhaps even the week or month: https://...

I think the problem with this thread generally is that there is pretty concise answer to the question of whether certain languages are better than oth...

I couldn't find any articles on whether German was a better language for expressing matters literally, likely because such a thesis is horseshit, but ...

Your name has always been too complicated for me, so I just sort of glance over it like when reading the names in a Russian novel .
December 21, 2023 at 06:30
I read@"BC"'s name as bk. You can barely hear me say it bc of the lack of vowel.
December 21, 2023 at 06:17
Are you just identifying your subjective opinion, or are you saying something objective? As in, you think you better express yourself with painting th...
December 21, 2023 at 06:09
You've got studies showing that the language makes the person more literal and less figurative? Assuming such could be measured, you'd have to prove i...

If you ever eat goose filled with bread chunks, it was probably stolen from the park because that's all the kids will feed them even though the sign s...

My name is in written form only and has never been spoken, so it has no known pronunciation. I pronounce it YHWH, but thou shalt not.

Funnier would be if you told him you hoped he got lead poisoning. Mean humor is much funnier.

My son ate a crow he killed once. The meat was purple. It makes me sick to think about actually. He'll better survive the zombie apocalypse that will ...

If you could sell game meat, there'd be no more game. In fact, I'd be the first to mass trap all the rabbits, make a few bucks, and then tell everyone...

That's what this is all about? "Every way possible" should have been limited to those things along the lines of the examples given and not included th...

Let me clarify. What I said was: What part confuses you?
December 19, 2023 at 20:09
I did say it because I meant it. There is a moral superiority of the West to others. What's shocking is that you can't admit it. You then inserted in ...
December 19, 2023 at 19:57
You're ridiculous. You can't even agree that the value you adhere to are superior and so you make a reference to Trump and say "but he's as stupid as ...

You've uncovered the fact that Israel is biased towards Israel? I also note that the Palestinians didn't protest the October 7 attacks, uncovering the...
