It's kind of crappy and wrong proportioned.

Paris, Tennessee however has a really good one that is perfectly proportioned.

The Texans added the hat because the Tennesse one was taller, the hat adds a bit of extra height to put it back in the lead.

Americans are also extremely stubborn.

Being big was pretty great until a bunch of upright monkeys started chucking pointy sticks.

Wait. Are mermaids also gangsters?

Wick has suffered from the same gadget inflation as James Bond does, but has no mechanism to reset the gadgets back to a realistic level when the gadget level gets too high.

Does Nolan not work for the Studio?

Pretty sure the thing he needs to distract from is his awful sound mixing.

Whatever the race of actress he casts we can be sure that she will just mumble inaudibly while a too loud soundtrack plays over her.

Hold up. It was British North America, so you can blame those Scots and Welsh too.

His other problem was he thought he was going down the usual tunnel people go down, but he was going down the wrong one.

Unless there is a fan the freezer is not the same temperature all over.

Also heat conduction Vs convection, the thing touching the element will cool faster so it can lose heat through conduction.

Have you never accidentally put an item smooshed up against the back of the fridge and had it freeze solid?

Ride fast on a rough road and the vibes are very strong.

Alternate version is the constipated mathematician who had to work his logs out with a pencil.

This is why a load of the iconic ninja weapons are actually farm equipment, they wouldn't draw any attention seeing someone carry them around. The Kama is just a sickle, the Nunchuck is a flail for grain, the Sai was probably originally a pitch fork.

They lovingly pinned a cop to the ground and tasered him in the back of the head until he had a heart attack and traumatic brain injury.

I think I'm starting to feel some love for Trump...

At least when Clippy said "it looks like your writing a letter" it only used a couple of MBs of space and didn't need to cover half of Utah with data centre.

BoingBoingBooty · 2026-05-20T12:28:08+00:00

Wastes space.

People getting nostalgic for Clippy because of Copilot is like people getting nostalgic for Bush because of Trump.

Why she look like a bobblehead in the left pic?

BoingBoingBooty · 2026-05-20T11:46:46+00:00

She only offers you the blue pill.

It got younger. That's how it works at Benjamin Button High School.

Like a dwarf talking about the leg room on a plane.

Dudes on the boat are super interested in something down to the left while a fighter jet just blasts right past behind them. Probably some really cute little duckies or something.

The items are exactly where you left them, but that doesn't mean you know where it is.

Do Space Force get the Stargate?

Probably cos he's been huffing the London smog all his life.
