It’s a Beavis and Butthead joke. They go into their school’s gym where Bill Clinton is talking to the kids and they go up to the mike and instead of saying “Testing, testing, 1, 2.” Beavis says, “Testes, testes, 1,2…3?” and Bill Clinton chuckles and says, “I love that joke.” This clip has some of the scene but for some reason the bunghole who put it up left off the joke part.

As long as there’s already a test thread active, I’ve always wondered about something. What happens if you put smilies in italic? _😃_ ETA: Answer: Not a damn thing. They still look the same, and you can’t tell they are inside italic tags. ---

Question number 1: Name the first person who has been to space and whose last name rhymes with the main character from a Joss Whedon television series. (since banning the internet won’t work, we’ll go on the honor system and just ask how many clicks it took you to get the answer - one for each search, one for each time you follow a link) ---
