News Roundup – International

September 28, 2022 Kim du Toit Bad News

This, our first-ever All-International Roundup, is sponsored by:

Pure class, them Strylians, huh? Try this:

...nice to know that the WAGov has taken care of all the region’s other problems.

...proof that 2022 Russia isn’t the same as 1941 Russia. And:

...a.k.a. “pre-surrender”.

...I dunno; you oppress a nation for nearly fifty years, and this is how they repay you?

...LOL so: would you have no problem with people attacking homosexualists, OR prefer that the Swedes deport all Third-Worlders?

Or you could just do what the Krauts are going to do:

...thus making the problem of “Third-World immigrant violence” disappear, just like that.

…showing that Brits can get it right on occasion.

And in election news:

...good ol’ Silvio: still politicking, still bonking younger women. The man’s a national treasure.

...not to be unkind, but there’s enough blubber there to keep TWO houses warm.

... and trust me, you do NOT want to go there… o-kay, but you’ve been warned.

And in guaranteed link-free INSIGNIFICA:

Finally, from Wales:

…ah yes, we haven’t been here for a while, so it’s time for a little more Carol:

…and some earlier-vintage Carol:

And that’s all the news from the international front [sic].

“Dear Dr. Kim”

September 27, 2022 Kim du Toit Advice

“Dear Dr. Kim:

“I sometimes hear Brits say, ‘It’s gone pear-shaped’ when a situation has taken a turn for the worse. What does that expression mean, exactly?”

–Puzzled Yank

Dear Puzzled:

Hell if I know. Most of the time, Brits spout some meaningless gobbledegook at you and when you look at them quizzically, they act like you’re the stupid one — when in fact they’re just fucking up the language that they themselves are supposed to have invented.

But to answer your question as best I can: I think that “pear-shaped” has the opposite meaning of what you’re thinking. Here’s my idea of pear-shaped:

…and in no way, shape or form can this be regarded as A Bad Thing. Hope this helps.

News Roundup

September 27, 2022 Kim du Toit Bad News

This Roundup is sponsored by:

And into the news we slide:

...so you get a guy who has been clinically diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome onto your live TV show, and are shocked — shocked! — when he says “rim”. Which, by the way, is actually a harmless word in the context in which he used it.

...just wait till the conscripts get there; it’s going to get worse.

...resist it. Fix the fucking economy first.

...if it were only vapors and couches, all would be well. But the dickless Karens wanna get the guy fired.

...that many?

...I got nothing.

...and Texans explain to Sec. Buttplug why he should just fuck off.

...thank you Sir, may I have another?

And on a similar topic:

...man jumps into snake pit, complains when he gets bitten.

…Mr. Scorpion, meet Mr. Frog.

...whatever he says, it had better be good considering all the fine poontang I’ve given him and all the life decisions I’ve entrusted him with over the years.
