Dave over at Ace of Spades HQ has the (in)famous “WKRP in Cincinnatti” Thanksgiving Day videos. I’d embed them here, but Ace of Spades deserve the credit for tracking down the two key segments; be sure to watch them both. And Happy Black Friday! ..bruce w..
It seems that little maniac that tried to take over Europe some 70 years or so ago was a notorious farter. His gas was so epic in fact that it may have played a role in Germany losing World War II (if so it would be a possible to assume that flatulence is a force […]

I propose a platform that will make the world like us again. Just like they always did. It may take 12 steps to […]
