I honestly don't get the appeal of that idiot. He makes mild observations in an exaggerated accent. The 2020s version of Andrew Dice Clay. I guess it's no surprise that the people I know who start sentences with "When Sebastian says..." have also begun sentences with "I'm not racist, but..."

If I had a nickel for every time someone with the name "Dennis H." died this week, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

So how are things going financially in 2026? I can recognize where all off-brand products are from. "Great Value" = Walmart "Up & Up" = Target "Bowl & Basket" = Shop-Rite "Signature Select" = Acme "CVS" = CVS

Yeah, I don't get the whole "rural Halloween attraction brochure" look of these fake posters. I do like going through them looking for misspellings and other errors. I'm surprised that the cheesesteak in this photo doesn't have 2 extra fingers.

"What was music like in the 90s?" "Well, they Xeroxed Robin S. and created Britney, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, and Mandy Moore. Then they Xeroxed New Kids on the Block and created the Backstreet Boys, N*SYNC, 98 Degrees, and 5ive. Plus we had Pearl Jam."

Fellow job seekers, I know it's tough to get discouraged as you slog through dead-ends every day. When I began applying, I put 5 emails in my "rejection" folder on the 1st day! But after weeks of dedication, I can finally & CONFIDANTLY share that this very same rejection folder now has a scroll bar

In "Where have all the Cowboys Gone?" Paula Cole irritably sings these lyrics: "I'll go wash the dishes While you go have a beer Where is my John Wayne?..." Does she honestly think JOHN WAYNE would help with the dishes and not have a beer? The guy was a founding father of toxic masculinity!
