Sadly, Youtube isn’t the wild west it once was - creators risk being demonetized if they swear too much or use certain words (thus the evolution of neologisms like “unalived” and “graped” for murder/suicide and sexual assault). ---

Eastside Big Tom, where State Ave meets 4th and becomes Pacific.

I don’t remember that one, but I didn’t get over to that part of town very often. Worth trying next time I’m out that way? ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > Worth trying next time I’m out that way? It’s not life-changingly amazing or anything, but I’d say they make a really good burger for a reasonable price. They use very fresh ingredients and the fries are always perfectly crispy and you can really taste how clean the cooking oil is when you bite into them, and the goop is the perfect blend of sweet and savory. ---

IMHO this guy is dumb for two reasons: buying a stupid shirt and trying to make a fuss about it on a plane. I’m guessing he wants it to to be a whole thing about “ censorship.” The shirt itself makes no sense either. > **[Man kicked off Delta flight for wearing Donald Trump tee with ‘hawk tuah’...](https://nypost.com/2024/08/31/us-news/man-kicked-off-delta-flight-for-wearing-obscene-donald-trump-tee-with-viral-meme-reference/)** > > “I’m getting kicked off because of my shirt,” the man announced. ---

It was a picture of Trump with two middle fingers held up. You don’t suppose it was the middle fingers and not Trump that caused the problem? 🙄 ---

No, I’m sure it was the fingers that did it. I assumed the “hawk tuah” part did him no favors as well. ---

I think I’ve literally never seen anyone drink a milkshake in any other way.

> [@Irishman](#): > > I didn’t notice the guest being particularly more crass than the others. I suppose they did have to bleep her and not the regulars. In terms of the whole show, she was pretty funny. I’m terms of the segment about watters, she 3 or 4 times joked about him sucking D. I don’t like that kind of joke. I get it; Watters is talking about “real” men and all that, so she’s joking about repressed feelings etc. But it’s meeting the bigots in their gutter; I don’t want to go there. ---

I have it on good authority that Archie wore a tan suit. And was not faithful by petting other people’s dogs. Obviously, his man card should have been revoked ages ago. ---
