_Ghosts_ will forever spoil the urban legend that the African-adjacent chanting in some covers of Hooked on a Feeling was not “ooga chaka ooga chaka ooga ooga ooga chaka” but rather “who got who got who got sucked off?” because googling it will only return results for Ghosts.

**Juggling chickens**

**Build a better mouse juggler and the world will bear a path to your door**

At some point, the humane society is going to come after all these jugglers. It’s just cruel to be throwing all these little critters in the air like that.

I don’t know why this happened, because I am quite familiar with the Cybertruck thread. But all of a sudden, when I was skimming new activity, I spotted a [Tesla CyberFuck](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tesla-cybertruck/843866/266) thread.

(Some might argue that this was not so much a misreading as a cut-to-the-chase honest description of what’s happening. But who am I to judge?)
