Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ha! Tommyrot beat me to it -- I was too enraptured with the sheer Swearengenosity to remember to post the URL.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Must. Have.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I clicked on the link, mentally prepared to find a bunch of quaint oddities, like in a 30's era bloopers reel Hec once saw in which people like Carole Lombard and Rudy Vallee said things like, "Nuts!"... but the baseball doc -- that's not so quaint.

Well you don't often hear people compared to genitalia "lapping" canines anymore.

Bing Crosby was known for deliberately singing four-letter words when he messed up a take while recording, so that the record producer would have to destroy the tapes instead of keeping them for blooper records. Apparently, his language was truly filthy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

What, ridiculously romanticized and inaccurate stereotypes of the home country? Say it aint so! (Signed, "Celtic," as in the basketball team, pronounced SELL-tick, and used as a noun.)

Ha! I'm in the 4th generation of an Irish immigrant family, which is just close enough to the Mother Country to still have green eyes and be rightfully terrified of the cuisine.

People who say "How's it hanging?" as a greeting.

I only do that with old buddies of the regular and fuck- varieties.

Microbrew prices are about to go up like WHOA due to the hop shortage and malt/grain price increases-

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

Ah, baseball, the game of tradition. So nice to see it's stayed true to its roots.

Let's say that at your company, some employees get PTO (paid time off). If those employees had the option of donating their PTO to other employees (even those who normally are not eligible for PTO) how often you you suppose people would do this?
