If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

the producers are considering sending them out of the craft one by one on a "space walk". When the door opens, instead of finding themselves 100km above the Earth's surface, mum and dad will be there to greet them.

Oh, man, that is evil.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

That's... that's... mean. I mean, okay, if their families are so sure, then maybe they will appreciate the joke. But if anybody ever pulled such a stunt on me? I don't even know. I wouldn't call it friendly, is what I'm saying.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I liked the Disco Turkey animation... except for the turkey with the chest hair. And then I realized that the two male turkeys had clothes but the female singer turkey was naked.

Then I took to heart vw's tagline....

Rugby fan castrates self:

A rugby fan who cut out his testicles with wire cutters to mark a Wales victory is at a loss to explain why he did it.

Geoffrey Huish, 31, performed the impromptu self-surgery in February when his beloved Wales beat world champions England.

After performing the deed, Mr Huish put his severed anatomy in a bag and took them to his local social club to show fellow fans.

He collapsed with blood loss and was rushed to hospital but surgeons could not reattach his missing parts.

He was put in a psychiatric ward but has no history of mental illness and was at a loss to explain why he did it.

"I'd told my pal Gethin Probert before the game that Wales didn't stand a chance," Mr Huish told The Sun.

"It wasn't a bet but I said I'd cut my b*lls off if we won.

I posted this story months ago. Unless it was a different rugby fan who cut off his testicles and took them to a local bar to show fellow fans.

The article is from the 16th, but it says the castration actually happened in February, so it's probably the same guy. I hope.

Hopefully it's not a trend.

Vote on the world's worst sound.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone know where I can get time on a laser cutter for free? I'd totally do something like this.
