Post by: Ben on August 07, 2017, 07:06:06 PM

I think they didn't think their metaphor all the way through.  :laugh:

Edit: Metaphor, not meataphor. Though meataphor sounds kinda cool. :)

I guess being asexual is more dangerous than I would have thought.

Airline safety is just a social construct.

Nice metaphor: two of those combinations are functionally useless.

Well, yeah in that way, the analogy works pretty well.

Why not just half the belt, a warm bath and candles?

Will my belt click on those Asian airlines?

That looped one that the flight attendant holds up, is she trying to tell us to go ___ ourselves?

I like belt extenders, is there a site for that?

Better stay off Twitter, little alcohol and I could be banned.

So my curiosity made me go to the link. Took me about ten seconds to "catch" that in the image.

Snorted snot out my schnozz.

Gettin' slow in my sensa yuma neuron package.

But I kinda like it more when I don't get something right away and have to think it over.
