This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

I fell in love with a Video Nasty
Late for the scripting of talk shows, but a couple years back my cousin was in the audience for Dr Oz. They were doing a segment where "real" people would have small problems and Oz would "prescribe" some over the counter holistic remedy for them to buy. One actor had to cancel, so they pulled my cousin on in their place, where they had her make up a story about having trouble sleeping at night. Dr. Oz had her try some weird nutmeg tea remedy. She ad-libbed that the tea "Tasted like Autumn in a Cup", and the producers loved it. She later told us all in person at thanksgiving that it tasted terrible. Well, that's my story, thanks for listening.

Long answer: Phillips was an itinerant, self-taught portraitist who was active for about fifty years. His style developed so much during that time that his work was once thought to have been done by at least three different people. Even at the start of his career his work was attractive and well-composed, and by the 1820s he was able to depict sitters' features with character and accuracy. He is considered one of the most technically adept, prolific, and downright likable American folk painters. This portrait accurately shows the early-19th-century style for tall shirt collars for men, which often dug into the chin and sometimes prevented the wearer from turning his head.
,
Short answer: gently caress you hitler

Another fun fact, that tall collar style came about because of King George IV, who was a playboy and a vain motherfucker but grew up to be a huge gluttonous fatass and wanted to hide the fact that he had a gross dewlap. Of course everyone imitated him

The hazelnut Snickers are pretty good. Could stand to be more hazelnutty, though - maybe a nutty chocolate rather than plain milk chocolate? I don't know, I'm just spit-balling here.

A not so small part of me is hoping that once the Queen of England dies the next king will start to wear short sleeved suits or something and throw business fashion into an awesome tailspin.

His nervousness only increased as the Queen, an Army driver in wartime, accelerated the Land Rover along the narrow Scottish estate roads, talking all the time. Through his interpreter, the Crown Prince implored the Queen to slow down and concentrate on the road ahead.

I suppose it's easy to forget that she's descended from a long line of people who used to kick the poo poo out of everyone: like watching Tiddles eviscerate a small, fluffy animal, there is something still in the blood.

She's still a relic from a former time and should be thrown to the wolves to support herself and her useless family. Monarchs, even as symbols, shouldn't exist in an age where we have touched the moon.

To be honest, I prefer having the royal family to the alternative, which to my mind is people like Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson ending up as president because enough people decide they're "classic legends" or whatever. That's probably just me, though. :shrug:
