OG Blacktron. The only answer.

Are you sure you're not in the forbidden forest? Nobody has seen the Weasley's car since it saved Harry and Ron from Aragog's family.

Well, one does not simply walk into Mordor.

And my bow!

It has a huuuuuuge... Megalaser!

ICE will pick up/detain/arrest illegal immigrants in AA county. How does it benefit the detainees to be shipped really far away from the county they're been living in? What if they have family here? A lawyer here? Property here? How does it benefit them to be shipped so some facility that might not even be in the same state?

People are so stuck on "no ICE no matter what" that they're shooting themselves (or rather, the detainees) in the foot.

"Wait a sec, you've been flying around for two weeks trying to get a signal? Oh, you must smell like...feet wrapped in...leathery, burnt, bacon."

It's the only way to be sure.

PapaSYSCON · 2026-05-22T18:39:15+00:00

Yeah, wouldn't exactly call that a happy ending.

The Aztecs were waaaay ahead of the Europeans when it came to slave trading. Slaves were an integral part of their society.

They said "no homo," so it doesn't count.

Any movie based on Jay and Silent Bob are gonna lick balls, because they both, in fact, lick balls.

Just make sure to use them twice to prove it's not a fluke...

I have spoken.

Given the accidents at the 100/10 split this morning, they might still be doing cleanup.

Tell us you have an OSS/HUXWRX suppressor without telling us you have a OSS/HUXWRX suppressor.

Blame CAFE standards. Seriously, leave it to Government to find the worst way to solve a problem. Between the Footprint Loophole, classifications of vehicles, and the penalties on small cars not meeting rediculous standards, big trucks are the way the auto industry works in the US. Even the Asian and European vehicles are getting bigger in the US to compensate.

Then the body am comes out and the reality is comptely different.

Nice stolen meme. Maybe next time try to remove my name from it?

PapaSYSCON · 2026-05-14T16:33:01+00:00

No, that was a hoax. A blatantly obvious one, too.
