Brentwood residents angry that city is trying to plant trees in local park

When I read the title, I thought it was actually going to be a sensible complaint like the park being the only place local kids could play ball games or something but...

So that's where Graham Chapman ended up.

One of the many wonderful things about the ol' WWN was that they'd put weird-but-true things they'd found in overseas newspapers or medical journals or whatever right alongside the patently made-up stuff, e.g.:





Poor top model, ate a whole cauliflower, liver, steak, eggs, kidney, cheese, bread, mushrooms, carrots, peaches, pears, apples, bananas, plums, grapes, and milk, THEN DIED!

I can see how you get that but we're the country that lost a PM. He just went missing once and we never found him.

Missing, presumed drowned.

We named a sports centre after him:



Despite recent evidence, not all of Australia's PMs have been rear end in a top hat lizard-men, and it's at least plausible that Hawke would nick off to the pub. Keating? Not a chance, no-one would be headed to a wine bar in South Yarra from the MCG.

Edit: Dammit, beaten to the joke.

SAVING THE SIX-NIPPLED BREED: Mr. [Alexander Graham] Bell's Last Contribution to Science, with An Introduction by Mrs. Bell

Since the name in Hebrew was either Yehoshua or Yeshuah (salvation) I can absolutely confirm a clitoris is not involved.

That may be true for Jesus Christ (or bar Joseph) but is that also true for Jesus Chris?

They confused border security with god. You can argue semantics and rules-lawyer with one, but not the other.

I think if you're part of the main religous tradition that thinks arguing semantics and rules-lawyering with God is praxis, you'd be choosing a different argument than "pork is not food until it's cooked".

In my headcanon, this film ends with everyone in prison getting a real, good-natured hoot out of the loveable old getaway driver, and the film closes with a montage of him surrounded by all his affable new prison friends who love and respect him, and pat him on the back every time he walks past, and humour him by wearing the scarves he crochets them, probably set to Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head.

At least Drew Brees is just an American football player, which doesn't seem particularly controversial

I thought this was NOLA (Robert E Lee Blvd is now Allen Toussaint Boulevard (local R&B legend, lived there for years)), but it looks like Austin, TX:

https://www.mic.com/articles/141741/poll-to-rename-robert-e-lee-elementary-school-gets-some-truly-terrible-suggestions (2016)

quote:

When the Austin Independent School District board voted last month to change the name of local Robert E. Lee Elementary school, they probably didn't expect that the community's suggestions for a new name would be so... well, awful.

After a March 28 vote to remove the Confederate general's name from the school, the board decided to ask for suggestions from the school community, NBC affiliate KXAN reported. The current leading candidate, with 45 nominations, is "Donald J. Trump Elementary." The decision came amid a larger trend of questioning Confederate memorials across the American South, given the Confederacy's legacy of violence, racism and white supremacy.

the Biden family Wangs are the only bright spot we have in these troubling times.

I liked their first three albums, before they switched to the overproduced sound. Is the new one better?
