Stuff that makes me laugh

Speed Bump #845

Grammar Nazism

From Breitbart News:

“Coronate”?  Ain’t no such fucking word.  At a coronation, one is crowned, not “coronated”.  Guess who coined the term?  Jesse Jackson, back in the 1990s (saw it on TV).

Hell, I even saw Mort Kondracke say it on a Fox News panel discussion once, and the host didn’t hit him over the head with a chair, like I would have done.

Note the reaction from SpelChek (in this very post):

Of all the times for my AK-47 to be at the pawn shop… and STG, if someone tells me they found this abortion of a word in some poxy modern dictionary ergo  it’s okay to say it, I’m going to come to their house.  With a Molotov cocktail.

Bad News

And speaking of things that make parts of one’s body ache painfully…

In Political News:


…

And:


...executive summary:  ban fracking, carbon taxes, and the rest of the Green unicorn-fart nonsense:  requiring new buses, heavy duty vehicles and vehicle fleets to be zero-emission by 2030 and all vehicles to be 100% zero-emission by 2035.


...good question, but it’s probably the same group that’s been running it since 2020.


...newsflash:  nobody cares.  Especially if it’s “Dr.” Jill and his fuckface son doing the talking.


...triggering competition to claim her title as “Biggest Moron in Congress”, amid some strong competition.

In Entertainment News:


...as my old dad used to say:  “Never hug a wet woman”, and he was right.

In International News:


...Americans will experience the same under [sic] President Kamala Harris.


...providing the answer to the perennial teaser:  “Name one thing Hitler did do right”.
#SlaughterGypsies

Still in Britishland:


...government at the expense of taxpayers;  why are we not surprised?

From the Dept. of Health:


...Mommy Mommy, he’s doing an InstaSnark again.

In still-link-free  

 

...just sayin’.

And peering in the windows of the houses of we find:


...you know, I was going to show some pics of the aforementioned slags, but they’re not as bad as you’d expect;  they’re worse.  So instead, some nicer things, perhaps not even slags (borrowed from Kenny):

…and an old one of Ground Force‘s Charlie Dimmock, who is definitely not a slag:

And that’s all the news out there.

Bad News

And into the news we dive:


...am I the only one feeling a little conflicted about this operation?  I want FJB to go up against Trump.


...wait:  the Teamsters support Trump now?


...considering that every single thing this crooked asshole says is a lie (including “the”, “and” and “not guilty”), I’ll believe it when I see it.

In Furrin News:


...no shit.


...another “Great Leap Forward” into economic ruin, one hopes.


...now, lead bullets on the other hand... And still in La Belle France:


...it’s not like the Muzzies are going to win any Olympic medals, unless “suicide vest detonation” is now an Olympic sport (wouldn’t surprise me).

From the Department of Education:


...I’ve never agreed with bringing Sex Ed into primary schools, myself.

And in the Everybody Panic!!!! Department:


...whatever happened to the Asian Murder Hornet Invasion?  Asking for a friend.  Also:


...Steve Irwin was unavailable for comment.


…keyword:  China.

From the Dept. of Self-Love:


...didn’t work for me when my nose blocked up recently, though.  Maybe I was just using the wrong nipple clamps.

And now, in 

     


...I should point out that the houri in question has had a boob job recently — so why not?

And that’s the ass-end of the news.

While I Was Away

Entertainment

…okay, sick as a dog, I took the opportunity to watch a few videos on EewwwChoob, more or less at random.  (Thank you, I am much better thanks to Zithromycin and various other modern medical miracles.)

Because I wasn’t in shape to do any deep diving as such, I just flitted from one topic to another, but luckily I managed to save a few URLs that may be of general interest.  Mostly, I concerned myself with topics of fairly recent vintage that I knew a little (or hardly anything) about, other than their titles and a simplistic overview. (Earlier histories, e.g. late 19th century, WWI, WWII and so on until say 1980:  got those covered, thankee.)

So here are some of the ones I did spend some time on.  Feel free to watch them yourself, as the interest grabs you.

Stuxnet

Destroying ISIS

Hamas

Ferrari 412 (Iain Tyrrell, of course, plus a whole bunch of his other restorations, also Jay Leno of course).  I think I watched well over two dozen of them.

10 U.S. Places Not Worth Visiting been there, and I agree with all of them*.

Bill Burr …always.

Sudan

Then came I Do Cars.  Listen, I have NO automotive technical interest whatsoever, but I got hooked on this guy’s thing, and couldn’t stop watching them.  No excuses, no reason… it just grabbed me.

And of course, the “watch again” movies** and TV shows.  Of recent interest, Barnwood Builders on Discovery+, because I love ordinary people doing skilled work, and having fun while doing something worthwhile.  (Johnny Jett is brilliant.)

I’ve omitted all the F1-geeky and Brit football videos, because I know from experience that Reader interest on this topic is slim to nonexistent.

Have fun, as I did.  At worst, save the URLs for the next time you’re as sick as a dog.

*I’ve never been to the Grand Canyon, but I imagine it’s pretty much as described.

**No unwatched movies because I had no attention span and just wanted moving wallpaper while I coughed up my lungs.  Also, several people wrote to me suggesting great movies to watch.  Didn’t get to any of them, because I was feeling that crap.  Next time, or sometime soon anyway.  Thankee, all of you.
