You could probably just construct one around her and despite the hassle of having to trudge out into the snow every day to catch and prepare the eighty seals required to maintain her mass, it would be like a kiln in there. »David, the foggot

I think of America as being analogous to the internet. In theory, it is an entity born of tremendous potential for freedom of all kinds and liberty for all.

In practice, you’ve got the majority of people who are perfectly intelligent, yet appear to be in the extreme minority because of being drowned out by the loud-mouthed, fucking rednecks on one side and beset by burgeoning corporate interests on the other.

My intention was to have it completed before the holidays ended so that it could accompany me to school and kill Bradley McPherson who had stolen my Casio calculator watch. After realising that the project would entail actual engineering knowledge and being told to “clean up that fucking mess in the shed”, I instead told everyone at school that Bradley’s mum had told my mum that he had been born with both a penis and a vagina and had to wear special underpants to keep the two separated.

Rather than keep shooting away with the iPhone, I decided a little more firepower was in order and had the D90 in tow.

This is a pretty good sampling of the family- I know we are missing at least one group of cousins:
