I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Bob Dole is dead. RIP Bob Dole. Fuck Bob Dole.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I got a haircut today.  Woman who cut my hair was stupid. 

"How long is 106 minutes?" is not an easy question to answer without being an asshole.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Lou Bega singing Mambo No. 5 at a concert in support of Polish troops defending the eastern border amid a migration crisis is the most surreal thing I've seen for a long time

The backing dances wearing blue and yellow.

The boundaries between the real world and footage from an Adam Curtis documentary is just blurring more and more :ph34r:

Edit: Also, Alex Jones and InfoWars sell Zapatista coffee :lol: :blink:

Has anyone else noticed the price of ice cream fluctuating madly?  I see yoyoing between $2.98 and $5.98 a quart regularly.

This reminds me of that old stereotype that Eastern Europe was stuck 20 years in the past and felt obscure outdated celebrities were the best thing ever. Haven't heard that one for a while yet here it is.

I think it's more about the price. We are not that backward.

In fairness I don't think Western militaries have a massive entertainment and concerts budget either.

The concert also made the news here in Spain because they hired a washed Spanish girl-band from the 2000s (Las Ketchup).

And the lead singer of Ace of Base was also there... man, they should have brought in Aqua and Natalie Imbruglia too.  :lol:

It is bizzare.
More normal (as normal as such a thing could be...) would be the runner up of 2019 Polish X Factor and the like.

Who would be more exciting, somebody who had one hit that your parents listened to or somebody who had a cover song nobody listened to?
