“I never thought the leopards would eat my face”

It’s a pun on the name, pure and simple.

I think that the initials M&M have been sufficiently well used by various entities throughout history that they could not hope to prove that the name originated with them. Given that part of maintaining a trademark is defending it against encroaching use the existence of other corporate M&M companies, M&MDirect for example, would lead to their lawsuit failing.

Swim Shady, on the other hand makes no sense at all as a name if Slim Shady wasn’t already a well known thing.

What are you talking about? I see that motherfucker in the mirror every day.

Funny, so have I…

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said during a Wednesday podcast episode with Joe Rogan that lawmakers have seen evidence of “interdimensional beings.”

“I think that they can actually operate through the time spaces that we currently have,” Luna said during the podcast.

“And that’s not something that I came up with on my own. That’s based on stuff that we’ve seen. That’s based on information that we’ve been told,” she added.

Didn’t think I’d see Lamb Chop today.

Anya: What would I have to do?
D’Hoffryn: What you do best. Help wronged women punish evil men.
Anya: Vengeance.
D’Hoffryn: But only to those who deserve it.
Anya: They all deserve it.

I won’t have made it through the day until it hits midnight or the thermostat drops below 25° C, whichever is soonest.

Probably not the place for it but I shall point out that the 00s were going swimmingly until the cunts at Goldman Sachs and others of a similar bent made a shedload of cash out of turning the housing market into a massive casino and then stuck taxpayers the world over with the bill in the '08 crash and the global economy has been pretty much fucked ever since.

It’s Goldman Sachs. Those board members should be in prison.

Further to that, I’d just like to add: Fuck Nestle.

I love that millennials and Zoomers are like this. I don’t need to have the phone call but I do need the answer now. So I tell them: “Don’t make me call you…”

Usually get a suitable text answer within five minutes.

You’re finally talking sense.

And “Rookie Mistake”? Is that Kipling too?

Why did you start this post with the American phrase “Rookie mistake”? You probably thought that it pithily encapsulated something to do with your point. Or maybe you’re just a… what is it you young people say? A “memelord”?

The endless cycle of government:

Business People: We are being strangled by regulation
Politicians: We will free the creative genius of the nation by making a bonfire of red-tape
Everyone: Oh no! lack of regulation means all the business people are turning the environment to shit!
Politicians: We will toughen regulation to protect the environment and the population again.
Business People: Waaaaaah! Throws rattle out of pram.

(That’s enough endless cycle - ed.)

Gotten is a perfectly good English word. “Stiff upper lip,” that supposed touchstone of the English character, was first used in the United States. Grammar is largely a matter of fashion. If you find yourself questioning the vocabulary choices of various publications because you think they ought to be more English might I suggest having a nice cup of tea, or a tasty beverage of your choice, instead?
