i appreciate religious institutions reaching out to me right now when I need it.
A spiritual and moving mailing. But what is it for? Come along and see.It’s the Church of Scientology! But in Dutch! The actual building is in French speaking Wallonia but they still sent the flyer in Flemish. That’s kind of outreach that can help stop declining church attendance in Europe.

Found a good law firm, if anyone is looking to get the death penalty in traffic court.
A billboard for “the official law firm of the NY Jets.” Some lawyer in a suit is positioned in front of some Jets players, or at least some guys wearing the uniforms. The tone of the whole thing implies that you should take “official law firm of the NY Jets” as something they are bragging about, and not a vicious attack from one of their competitors.

There’s nothing specific I can identify as offensive here, but it still seems somehow racist against like 10 different ethnicities.

The only other place I've been in Scandinavia was Lund, which is basically suburban Copenhagen, but Copenhagen was not just good grading on a curve it was good period (and we didn't eat anywhere astoundingly fancy). Lund also had people gathered to race these, but I couldn't find any cinderblocks.

Our company's office in Antwerp has a conference room called "Black Lodge". It has a poster with this background on the wall. I don't know if this means someone didn't really watch Twin Peaks or that they watched it closely and have a really low opinion of work.

If they just labelled the "Interboring" truck with pictures of drill bits it would be pretty unremarkable, but the eye thing is unsettling.

We went last night in Cologne and had a great time, but I bet I would have enjoyed it even more if I was thinking of something really mean that Butthead had said for the whole show.
