Hold on tight. || Wok tossing scenes. || Random-ass cheese umbrage. || Birthday cake of note. || Behold, a greeting from a ladies’ bathroom. || Himalayan rhubarb. || Boo. || “The problem is most people don’t have a vacuum chamber.” Or, how to fill a Klein Bottle. || The progressive dining experience, parts 38 and 39. || One could never grow weary of his self-expression. || Washing the wookiee. || You will enthuse as instructed. || I’ll let you show me how it’s done. || Maureen, there’s someone at the door. || Smugly misinformed bint wants to decolonise your language. || Attention, ladies, I bring good news. || The Ogmios School of Zen Motoring, episode 9. Previously. || When the cyberbully is your mother. || Cat deflector. || He dented the fuck out of his truck. || Oh, and clean-up on aisle four.

He’s the “equity commissioner” for the city of Renton. He likes to harass people and wear a black dress, complete with handbag.
The dishonesty is fundamental to the worldview.
Pretty sure London wasn’t built by fat, black lesbians.
They’re not even attempting plausibility, are they?
Which I suppose makes sense of a sort if you think of it as an act of psychological aggression. In a you-will-repeat-obvious-lies kind of way.
Thought I’d better check.
Not spooned directly into the gob.
You don’t lick the knife?
Nom nom
Vegemite is of course the Australian version, conceived originally as a direct competitor with Marmite: it was intended to have the brand name Parwill. As in: ‘Marmite, but Parwill’. I love it. My 5 yo dislikes it (I have to resist the urge to cry, ‘what kind of Australian are you?’ when she refuses it.)
I assume both Vegemite and the various malt-extract products – Milo and a few other sweet drinks – are all byproducts from the beer industry. Or at least that they were when originally invented.
You savage.
I suppose the mistake I made with Vegemite is that I took a spoon and actually tasted the stuff. Vile. Am I supposed to mix it with something?

Yes, but not just to that, being the holy month of “pride” and all. Let’s see what is up today.
I see, two terms, one long winded, for the same thing, and one imaginary. Maybe a “personal account”.
Typical male behavior, nothing to see here.
Four years old, so “dysphoric” had to have a kid the usual way, as men do. There is so much wrong here.
Meanwhile in The Great White North, the headline alone tells the tale if you want to avoid the details.
Good to know there will be no booze mixed in with the hormones.
Easy to see where all the “pride” comes from.
You just spread a little on your toast with butter. Let the butter melt first and then spread the Vegemite.
Never had Marmite but I assume the same principle is in operation there.
Telling lies, and demanding others tell them too, is how you breed resentment.
So open a mind as to be empty. As if functioning human mammaries produce anything else.
This came to mind:
But hey, the needs of the baby are much less important than feeling validated.
Thus, I had to ask…
Digging further…apparently everything is just an accident.
See also Muldoon’s bit about The Great White North above.
Before Crocodile Dundee and Americans discovering Australia, in those halcyon days before any normal person knew what Vegemite was, there was this argument about whether the line was “He just smiled and took a bite of my sandwich” or “He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich”. I still like the former version better.
DEI for terrorism?
And in progressive parenting news.
I’m certain most parasites believe they built the host.
I’m now trying to imagine an alcoholic beverage based on Marmite.
