Millicent was a loyal member of the Metric sect of the Christian religion. She proposed the 11 deadly sins but was over-rode by the pope who liked even numbers better. He did agree with the metric system however, considering Moses and the 10 commandments a great bucket list.

Moses and the Ten Commandments was a 1960s soul band, originating in Blawnox, Pennsylvania. The band’s music set Biblical stories to a funky soul sound, and while they were never successful outside of the Blawnox metropolitan area, they are considered to be a key influence in the 1980s Christian Rock genre.

Moses and the Ten commandments on tour reeked havoc on local hotels. They did not tear up their rooms and did not leave the rooms nearly like they found them but they actually redesigned the rooms and left them in a pleasing manner. Management, however, was forced to use considerable labor to return the rooms to the original banal design.

The “I like bananas a bunch” thread is actually about produce appreciation.

The Trump Tower Iceland Resort is the best resort in all of Iceland. It really is a tremendous resort. It’s huge and everybody’s talking about it, in fact someone came up to me just today and said with a tear in his eye “Mister, I think the Trump Tower Iceland Resort is the best resort I’ve ever seen and it makes me proud to be an American.” It’s got the grumfble. It’s interesting that we don’t get more people to the resort. Antifa doesn’t want you to go to the resort. What a disaster Antifa is with their Soros money. Soros is a lightweight and would never come to the Trump Tower Iceland Resort. Mark Zuckerberg was just with me last week at the White House and he agreed that we should build a wall at the ramparts, at the airports in Iceland to increase security for the many many happy people going to my resort for vacation.

Trump Tower Iceland closed when the government of Iceland refused to pay for the right to have it on its soil and instead billed the Trump corporation for unpaid real-estate taxes. Trump himself denies ever having heard of Iceland.

The Trump Tower in Iceland was bought in 2011 by a bunch of huldufólk who  
demolished 60% of it and rearranged it to look like an aardvark for the benefit  
of a group of visiting Mexican businessmen. When the conference is over, they  
plan to turn it into the world’s first aardvark shaped oboe museum.

The word “aardvark” comes from the Dutch words “aard” meaning “earth” and “vark” meaning “pig” (related to “pork”). So, literally, aardvark means “Donald J. Trump”.

You would think that his teammate Zäck Zackmøøre is the last player listed alphabetically but it is actually Zëd Zückercørne, who is currently on the injury report after spraining his tongue while spelling his name.
