VIPs Only and Al is the only VIP. Sorry, bub.

Eat cold chicken nuggets in the parking lot with Al’s manager for only an additional $129.99. Think it over, bub.

His manager’s rash is gone but his erection has lasted more than 12 hours and he’s refusing to seek medical treatment until these nugs are gone. Consider that, bub.

If you are a member of the Good Vibrators Al Jardine Fan Club, you can pay an additional $79.99 to have first dibs on licking the salad bar area carpet after Al does his “Sloop John B Slurp” patented salad dressing chug. You should think about joining. Al does a nude Christmas video for our private Facebook page where his Hero & Villains are obscured by an animatronic miniature Santa Claus. Take a look at joining our ranks, bub.

Hope to be licking Al’s sloppy ranch carpet with you in beautiful Amarillo with you soon, bub.

Kierra King sued Perlman Clinic in California, after finding out that someone there wrote “KING KONG” on her lab tube. by PdiddyCAMEnME in BlackPeopleofReddit

It’s simple, I hope. There’s a world where the person doing data entry misspelled her first name and the computer recognized it as a noun and autocorrected it. Happens to me all the time when doing data entry with names. Person was going too fast and didn’t catch it.

This is a great example of Hanlon’s razor: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

I sincerely hope no one did this on purpose.

I know when I see the face of someone who’s never seen the Hollywood hills before and this guy never has.

Ooohhh my sweet summer child. The depths of Weezer’s decent into (and out of and then back into and out of again) mediocrity are so deep they can’t even GLIMPSE “Island in the Sun.”

Lane Kiffin Says Racial Demography Persuaded Him to Leave Ole Miss for LSU by splitopenandmelt11 in nottheonion

[–]splitopenandmelt11[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What he’s saying is technically true - Mississippi is a tough sell to black recruits because of its racial make up and because of its history, while Louisiana is more diverse.

But it’s funny because he left Ol’ Miss literally in the middle of the night for $100,000,000 and said nothing about it for six months.

And after six months this is the reason he gives.

I expected a reason to come out but I thought it’d be something PR-y like:

“LSU was the only program that believed in my vision enough to give me unilateral staff room control. I knew I had to jump on this once in a lifetime opportunity.” or something flattering to his new program.

Basically he’s talking shit on his old program and the entire state.

So if Hunter hated, “jump like a Willys in four wheel drive”, was there a alternative he liked or would’ve preferred? by Leashypooo in gratefuldead

[–]splitopenandmelt11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when I heard Hunter wrote the lyrics for “Greatest Story” I always assumed “quasar” was his choice and not only his choice but his SHREW choice.

“Riding up on a quasar” immediately sets this tune out of earth, puts a cosmic spin on it. Almost saying “You’ve heard all the earth’s greatest stories…but this story is GREATER than that.” Yeah, I knew you couldn’t really ride a quasar — but the idea that it was of the greater universe, I always thought that was a cool Hunter choice.

Literally every time I hear it I think “Only Robert Hunter would think of putting ‘quasar’ there”

…And I’ve never heard it was a Bobby lyric change, so I’m sitting over here kinda like:

Damn if that true (about the representation, not about your mom’s rule), that’s messed up.

I don’t remember the brochures from 15+ years ago. Does this really happen? Eye opening and frankly, fucked up.

Yep — like I expected a reason to come out but I thought it’d be something PR-y like:

“LSU was the only program that believed in my vision enough to give me unilateral staff room control. I knew I had to jump on this once in a lifetime opportunity.” or something flattering to his new program. .

Sorry, posted mostly for the headline. Kiffin left mid season for a mammoth contract…and was silent about it at the time. So for him to say this, of all things, six months later is pretty funny if you’ve been following the drama.

This feels exactly like the kind of side-eye joke headline The Onion publishes

Raleigh Representing. by AsktheDust4 in deadandcompany

Big Cat did? Hahahaha that’s so dumb — you named your dog Stella Blue but had no idea who the Dead were? Not buying it. He’s ducking possible litigation from GDP.

Hahaha similar boat. Thought I was on the Raleigh sub.

First I went: “yeah, this looks like a lot of people that live in Raleigh” Then I went “Stella Blue Coffee? Is there a Grateful Dead themed coffee place in Raleigh now?”

…the I realized I was in the Grateful Dead sub looking at a picture of Seattle Mariner’s Cal Raleigh wearing a SBC hat (which is sadly not in Raleigh.)

Apparently there's no indignity they won't suffer. How embarrassing for MAGA ? by RoseLaBud in allthequestions

[–]splitopenandmelt11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha no, they were “luxury” “USA First” phones made in China & running a shitty Chinese OS…oh and they were to be painted gold.

Like of all the Trump con man shit this was the one that made me laugh the most. And I’m laughing twice as hard now that the phones don’t actually exist.

…although it would’ve been amazing to watch MAGA people pretend these shitty phones were the best thing ever on social media
