The funniest part is you don't have to look very far away from Python, as far as I know both Eric Idle and Michael Palin are pretty legit dudes. Granted, Terry Gilliam's a bit of a shit too. But half and half isn't bad.(As for the deceased, Terry Jones I think wasn't bad either, and Graham Chapman obviously was The Man™)

VERY lucky, then, the usual stuff people bemoan tastes like you're drinking condensed fruit flavoured sweat. It's salty, it's weirdly thick, and the really crappy(not a pun) types like Golytely you have to drink 8 full 8oz glasses, one every 10 minutes or so. It's awful and the last time I had to do it I just fasted for an extra 2 days so there was no poop to flush out.

ok I constantly do this every time I see colonoscopy comments—anyone who reads this that's facing a colonoscopy in your life soon: Ask your doctor for Clenpiq, not Colyte or anything else. Clenpiq still tastes awful but it's JUST two small glasses instead of 64oz of fluid. Dead serious, I will never use anything else. Your tastebuds deserve better!

Would that not just be the hit cartoon series, Johnny Bravo?

For people who want to be PG-13, the brits have "Omnishambles" already in the OED!

okay, this sent me down an etymology rabbit hole about eschequier/exchequer, but also that the origin is likely based on CHESS?

From the notion of "a sudden stoppage, hindrance, restraint" (1510s) comes that of "act or means of checking or restraining," also "means of detecting or exposing or preventing error; a check against forgery or alteration."
...
Hence also the financial use for "written order for money drawn on a bank, money draft" (1798, often spelled cheque),

Happiness is being a NANA. Happy little grandmother plaque with awful font choices.

Book of Hours, so I guess eldritch crimes against the Gods, or having an untidy bookshelf and kitchen.

If you get a moment, look up clips of his appearance on QI, And you'll get the joy of listening to both him and Stephen Fry on the same program.

I'm headed to lucky number 13 for colonoscopies and can confirm: Propofol is the best nap you'll ever have.

Great Khan armorer and Quartermaster Bardon? Huge ammo vendors aren't really "secrets" but they're hidden away enough people don't find'em.

aw yeah dropped down a flight of stairs as a baby club, same here—and this dude is 100% assaulting the protestors.

A year ago i needed two root canals and the doc just said "do you think we can knock them both out in one sitting". Yes, I fell asleep.

Omg yes, I got 12 words into describing a problem to the doc before getting interrupted with "Gout. Lemme write a scrip." Worked perfectly.

If all your socks that you own are identical, you never have to make choices on what to buy. That's technically matching socks.

I sold a revised bayou once that was graded "heavy wear"; still $130 or so. If the cards rare, it'll always be worth it.

Oooh, yeah. Mine was a 2-mile urban walk, so probably way less effort.

Also, if you're not walking TOO far and don't mind looking ~weird~, knot the handles of bags full of light items around the side straps.

If you plan on doing multiple trips, you can pack a surprising amount into a large backpack; I lived for 5 years only having that for carry.

Mix it with Cpt. Morgans and it tastes exactly like cream soda.

well, speaking purely out of hearsay from friends, start with googling "Aneros Vice" and make some life decisions.

Once, I had someone tap me on the shoulder as i was washing up to tell me I pissed louder than anyone he'd ever heard.
