Red Mosquito

When I went to Canada, I was really weirded out, and I should say grossed out, by the sweet/sugary taste of pretty much everything. I imagine it's worse in the USA (because everything is, right?). Also weirded out by seeing people eating supper around 6 pm, and restaurants closed at 9 pm which is usually the time when we arrive at restaurants around here. WTF people?

Best news story I've read today.

This is not The Onion thread, Burt!

It's the default, but you gotta watch the homeowner and other guests for clues. For example my parents are so lazy that their dog ends up pissing all over the house because they won't get up to walk her in the mornings. I always wear my shoes there because there's only so many Bichon Frise urine soaked socks a man can tolerate.

Ew.

I assume this is how they elect the president in Brazil. May her reign be long and bouncy.

If something should win the interwebz (even for just a day) it's this

San Francisco becoming Gotham for the kid with leukemia who wanted to be Batman for a day, that was so awesome.

Fair play the city by the bay

Name the episode this took place in and I'll be impressed

yeah I don't watch that shit

Well then don't use the pic a reply. Pure fuckin lazy

I bet all the kids with leukemia who didn't get to be batkid are feeling heinous right now

We do a lot for a lot if kids. Not just one.

Don't be a begrudger

Be a begrunger

He's got a good point, really; I'm sure the kid had a great day, and I'm happy for him, but ultimately the purpose those big 'treats' serve is to inspire able-bodied people. Other kids won't be so lucky.

So... what? They shouldn't have done it? Fuck off. This kid's gonna die soon, he wanted to be Batman for a day and he was lucky to be picked by an organization that had the means to make it happen. Better to do it for the one child than for no one.
