It makes me cry.

[Larry Lucido]

I bent thyme and spice. And onions.

[PGalt]

ROFLMAO!

[Vendome]

I!

I remember this post.

[TADSLOS]

...and still TRUE!

[Vendome]

Solid Gold, from the frankincense and myrrhth gang...

[Larry Lucido]

This is Sartre.

[Vendome]

Apropos.

[rlmorel]

I have been saying this for years (Poor John Semmens had to listen to me say it every time my blood pressure spiked reading his threads!)

Unless there are Martians eating babies brains or something (and even not always then) it is nearly impossible to do satire that is indistinguishable from reality.

[Nifster]

Indeed it is

[rlmorel]

I meant DISTINGUISHABLE! Dang it.

[rlmorel]

"...Someday I'll blindly stumble on one funny thing to say..."

If you do, it is almost certainly going to result in some kind of sexual harassment charge being filed by someone, somewhere, Laz...:)

I heard that they recently tried to come back, but their breakout story, “Terrorist Numbskulls attack Paris, Brussels and Orlando, FL” went down in flames.

A wise FReeper reminded me.

An oldie but goodie..

[MinorityRepublican]

Freepers used to post Onion articles until the spoiled brats objected. Jim Robinson said, “Fine, goodbye”

So it was never a copyright issue?

[SouthParkRepublican]

You can’t hear me clapping Laz. But I am.

[spintreebob]

Satire is micro-aggressions.

Thanks Laz

We became Russia. Russia is becoming us. The MSM is becoming the Onion. What is the logical conclusion to these sentences?

Interesting times...
