Fuck 'em. That’s inheritance.

Then there’s no pleasing you!

Some very small children didn’t know whether to cheer or cry…

IMHO “compassion” would be a better substitute.

… But first, let’s shoot fireballs at it!

I remember that, I thought it was poetic. I also remember the pearl clutching outrage.

Though a few visits ago at my local zoo two of the orangutans were beating the shit out of a seagull for fun, with naught outrage.

Bong and a crepe?

That’s like having google make a pizza with everything in my fridge then they complain that I also keep the dog’s food in there.

I too am an etymology geek, I had to look up “aptronym” (I already knew there was a word for it, but couldn’t remember it) but already knew “patronym”. I can occasionally work out the approximate Latin roots of words and take a stab at what to search for.

Actually no, I’ve not heard of them. I’m not American, can I get a TL;DR? From connect in guessing some kind of “think tank”?

Jackson is a patronymic last name: Jack’s son.

Smith is an aptronymic last name: a smith.

So yeah, bang on.

I set up a panel of people that I can fire when they don’t tell me that I should fire the people I already want to fire.

Like that orange idiot would take anyone’s advice ;-)

Doesn’t the Commander in Chief already have that authority?

“Somebody shit in my pants.”

That all sounds like it’d negatively affect my market capitalisation indexed quarterly bonus.
