I think the first time “Nanny, nanny, nanny” was used as a taunt was when a bunch of adorable cockney’s sang it at Mary Poppins right before she traded in her magical flying umbrella for a magical singing chainsaw. Come to think of it, that seems to be the last time it was used, too. > [@](#): > > . . . since when is a cleft palate fatal? Since you got blasted in that dive and laughed at that dockworker’s cleft palate right before drunkenly groping his wife.

Dude, if the only way you can find your nuts is by smell, you _seriously_ need to lose weight and get laid. > [@](#): > > Easy heuristic for figuring dice rolling probabilties is head?

\*\* A couple of questions about New York\*\* Yes, that’s urine. No, living there doesn’t ever actually not suck. **"Groovy" and the MacDonald murders** There are a number of adjectives I would use to describe Ronald tripping out on bad acid and frying Mayor MacCheese’s head with a blowtorch and then sticking the Fries Guys in the microwave, but “groovy” would not be one of them. \*\*Weird itching crawly sensation on surface of right shin \*\* That’s not your shin. \*\*What use is an IRA? \*\* Well, when your annoying Protestant next door neighbor from London is _reaaalllllyyyy_ pissing you off . . . \*\*Man starts cutting off arm after 12 hours… too soon? \*\* Well, it depends. If your arm is caught in a trap or under a boulder, and you’re in a fairly populated area with a good chance of rescue, then yes, 12 hours is too soon to cut off your arm. If the arm in question is holding an axe, and it belongs to your tweaked-out meth-head neighbor who thinks that you’re the Angel Gabriel come to steal all the Sudafed stashed under his front porch, then I’d say that 12 hours is really almost \*past \*time to cut it off. \*\*How did they know Pegasi 51 b is a gas giant? \*\* Seriously, did you ever had to _bunk_ with Pegasi 51b after he ate six helpings of beans at the Boy Scout Jamboree? It was like having front row seats to the Oompah band from hell! Take my word for it, he’s a gas giant!! ---
