"BRING ME SUGAR... IN WATER."

Men In Black is such a great film. The sequel has a scene where Jay communicates to an alien Biz Markie mailman with beatbox language and the scene fucking slaps.

Man, the years have been fucking harsh to Lewis Dodgson...

Doesn't he have a settlement to pay for?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago (1 children)

All $5 mil? Yup.

He's a grifting liar and traitor to the Republic. The $5mil is just the start. The Smartmatic defamation suit is just getting started and he's out of money for lawyers.

He probably sold his moustache to pay for bus fare because that's eventually where everyone who support the felonious king of con ends up.

Oh, Lindell is not a grifter; he's a true believer. He didn't bet the world $5 million because it was a scam. He did it because he was certain he was right, and he thought he could make everybody see that. Guys like Jack Posobiec and Charlie Kirk are grifters. Lindell's basically like any other MAGA chud that was convinced to ruin his life for Trump.

"Undercover" republicans "sneaking in" to the fully end-to-end televised event, are god damn weird.

Don't threaten him with a good time

Lumpy pillow man yells at clouds. News at 11.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Does he have lumps, do his pillows have lumps, or both?

My favourite kind of answer: correct and succinct.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Yeah, no one will recognize a voice like that.

"OH YAH YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT TRUMP YOU BETCHA!"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Terrible pillow salesman does coke and attends a convention. Conspiracy theory at 11.

Is anyone tuned in to what conservatives are saying about this interaction? I imagine they're saying he won because he was louder.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

For an alleged advanced species, the lizard people have shit skin suit technology.

Oh man how I would like to be down there making little groups trashing how bad the my pillow is loudly.

"All of us at GNC Asphalt & Paving Inc really love MyPillow. For so long we've had difficulty finding the right kind of aggregate material needed to create road beds. The contents of the MyPillow contained the perfect model! Its large and lumpy texture work perfectly for our binding agents to create the industrial shapes we need. We keep a stack of them in the office when we're demonstrating to clients. We'll rip one open and dump the lumps on the desk and demonstrated 'See these large jagged lumps of foam? The solvents will soak in here and here making all these huge lumps stick together in an unorganized mass' the clients really love it. Some ask for a MyPillow of their own to tear open and dump out."
