It's entirely possible. Mostly I remember the lines "flowers laid upon the coffin by grieving shitheads immediately withered and died" and "his black crusade against the sun and all things which draw life from it".

This week the shriveled husk of million term United States Senator and malevolent lich Jesse Helms was sealed in a bleak crypt deep beneath the sands of his native Stygia, North Carolina. Flowers placed on his grave by grieving shitheads withered and died within seconds.
Helms, known to friends and slaves alike as an unredeemed racist, was famous in the Senate for his passionate defense of segregation, opposition to the civil and voting rights acts, and his black crusade against the sun and all things which draw life from it.
As one of the first conservative talk radio hosts of the 1960’s Helms pioneered the technique of getting poor stupid whites to vote against their own interests by tricking them into hulking the gently caress out over black people, immigrants, and the betrayal of the Confederacy by jews, liberals, and the hated abstract concept of literacy. He went on to parley his repulsive backwoods celebrity with the curbstomp set into a long career in government where he played a prominent role in the unbelievably vicious and petty dixiecrat movement. His leadership resulted in a fundamental realignment of the American domestic political scene over the question of just how much we should hate niggers (”A whole lot”, contended Helms).
Long considered a strong contender for “worst person in the entire world” Helms in his declining years began to find that limited title constraining. Last summer recess he gathered together all the educated mulattos and wizened negro shaman from the swamps and dungeons of his grim feudal demesne and began a search for the blackest of black tomes, arts, and metal. That search culminated last week in his ascension to lichdom with the completion of a vile phylactery in the form of a fat lipped bejeweled bone sambo, pulsating with false life and the rhythm of hot jungle beats. His triumph over death itself coincides with a departure from this plane of existence for the astral realms, where he will spend the next thousand years pursuing recognition as the “worst person in the entire metaverse.”
Here on Earth Helms will be remembered as a southern gentleman, a family man, and the kind of guy that’ll eventually turn out to have dozens of child sized skeletons buried in his yard and whose family members when interviewed will say they thought he just liked collecting tiny shoes.

I used to think it would be cool to live in Australia and now I don't even want to visit, so thanks for that, thread.

The defiant Philippine leader has responded to critics with a string of outbursts, including labelling the US ambassador to Manila a “gay son of a whore”, telling the Catholic church “don’t gently caress with me”, and accusing the UN of issuing “making GBS threads” statements about his anti-drugs policies.

quote:

In June, the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, condemned Duterte’s apparent support for extrajudicial killings, saying they were “illegal and a breach of fundamental rights and freedoms”. Duterte replied by calling the UN “stupid” and threatening to withdraw the Philippines from the supranational body.

I have lived in Melbourne (not considered Australia) for 7 years and do heaps of camping, climbing mtb and nature poo poo all over Victoria and NSW. Never had an encounter with a dangerous animal or insect. True story.

Yeah, if you aren't going to visit Australia, don't go because of their reckless disregard for the environment Iespecially the reefs) and the incredible racism instead of not going because of the wildlife

I live in an inner suburb of Melbourne and I encounter redback spiders at least once a week. But on the other hand, no one's died from a redback bite since 1956 even though they estimate between 2,000 to 10,000 people get bitten by them every year.

What the gently caress are you up to? Rotten log inspector?

I do a lot of gardening and I've got a huge pile of old plastic plant pots where redbacks love to hang out. I just make sure I wear gloves when I'm gardening.

One of my housemates was bitten by a redback a few years back and he rang the hospital and they said "Yeah it doesn't even effect a percentage of the population, if you start to feel sick then come in but since you haven't had any reaction so far you should be fine, don't worry about it."


Edit:


I can absolutely guarantee that you've been within a few metres to a foot or two away from a redback spider at least once every week, if not every single day that you've been in Melbourne. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean that they're not there.

Of course it's a different matter if you're camping or bushwalking, you probably passed close to redback spiders at least several times every day in that case. You probably walked right passed a whole bunch of snakes without realising it as well.

This is the most exaggerated thing ever. I guess some Australians perpetrate it to seem special or something.

Never had an encounter with a dangerous animal or insect. True story. More sketched out by wolf creek style characters while camping tbh.
If you live in a literal topical swamp eg. Cairns. It'll probably be different but yee.

I fell down an embankment into a ditch with a few pretty scary loving snakes that later we found were bad news. The gopro footage and my instant transformation from big tough aussie bloke to banshee will never touch the internet.
