Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Thank you for putting in the work!

Didn't they do this in Orgazmo?

I only heard of that movie by reading about it in a story I had no business reading at a young age. I just looked it up to check the spelling and learned it was made by the creators of South Park. Neat!

With how promiscuous he is in the films, that would make sense.

I like to drink, but I never drink and drive.

I once was at the only liquor store in my small town. While I was making my selection, another customer came in and asked "is it okay if I park out front?"

The clerk answered "oh, the cops don't give out tickets around here."

Didn't love overhearing that from them.

I don't agree, but I suppose that's a fair assessment.

Agreed, but I don't think the urban legend was claiming that they were doing this legitimately.

While this is good advice, at least where I'm from it's no guarantee of not suffering the legal consequences as if you had.

Wait, that's the impact of nitrous oxide? Relaxed I can understand, but why would anyone seek out "light-headed and dizzy"?

As always, I don't mean to criticize anyone who is safely enjoying their time as they desire, but that doesn't sound fun to me. It sounds like being uncomfortably drunk.

What kind of lunatic is going to covertly monitor someone else's shits?

When I was a kid, I don't think I knew what MSG was, so this reasoning would have been lost on me.

When I was a kid, I heard two unsubstantiated rumors about McDonald's food:

  1. It used kangaroo meat (not sure why this was a claim)
  2. It mixed in nicotine (to make the food more addictive)

I doubt that either are true, but if the latter were maybe it would answer your question.

 

My wife pronounces it three different ways, each of which she can support. I pronounce it one, but other than that it's the way I've heard it I can't support my pronunciation even after some searches. What's yours and why?
