Talk About Tennis 2.0

From The Onion





WASHINGTON—Reluctantly acknowledging a faint stir of pride at the success of their tutelage, the CIA admitted Tuesday to being begrudgingly impressed by how well they trained future Taliban members throughout the 1980s. “Damn, we really have to give ourselves a little bit of a pat on the back for showing these sons of bitches the ropes,” said CIA director William Burns, admitting that the intelligence agency deserved some credit for providing Mujahideen militants with all the tools they needed to rapidly rise through the ranks of the Taliban. “This was a classic ‘teach a man to fish and he’ll fish for life’ situation, and our hard work back then obviously really paid dividends. Of course, these scenes from Afghanistan have been horrifying, but you can’t help but be a little wowed by how these bastards took our idea and just completely ran with it.” Burns added that this situation had made a nice change of pace after dealing with the disappointment of those goddamn Contra pushovers.

I can't like it but as usual The Onion hits the nail on the head.

Have we talked about the milk crate challenges here?

If you're not familiar here are two examples.

We're all gonna die. There is no future. We are damned.

I didn't post my favorite one here because the man is rolling a blunt while he ascends the pyramid of milk crates.

It was the first one I saw and I was like what is he doing and why is there a mountain of milk crates? It just appeared on my TL.

No, we won't.
Look at this: It is a reading of Charles Darwin's tomb. Laughing.

You can't describe it like that and not post a link to it. Just add URL tags to it so it doesn't fully reproduce on here.

Here ya go

(I have no idea what that site is about)

It's Instagram for porn.

We do a movie night on Tuesdays and what we watch is rotated between us. While discussing what to watch this coming Tuesday night "Fight Club" came up. Either my daughter or her husband said that that movie is considered the impetus (?) for incels coming together as a group. Really? Has anyone else heard this?

I was having difficulty remembering what country the US Open was being played in so I appreciate the large flag at the top of the page as a reminder.

First that I have heard that but apparently it's a thing.
