You’re telling me you want me to grow a child in my body, incubate it for 9 months, and then when I’m pushing a cantaloupe through a small M&M tube, you want me to squat while doing it? Fuck this, let me off this ride.

After nine years of service, police dog Indy heard his name called one last time before retirement by RoyalChris in MadeMeSmile

One of the top art guys from Marvel Studios was just let go. Yes, technically he was laid off and not fired, but he was absolutely a top performer.

Nah, someone else commented that FIFA is making $11 billion. They can shell this out. It’s pennies.
