When I get a negative response to my FB posts, I have two way to respond. The first is to just dismiss them with "Really? What do you know that I don't?"
or something along that line.
OR
"Thank you for your input. I appreciate all voices. May the God of our fathers grant you peace and good fortune. May the flatulent always be with you. Go now and dwell in peaceful silence." (STFU)
The fuck-chuckle in Guelph would have been truly outraged had the people in the Post Office been speaking French. The real Canadian MAGAt territory is Alberta, aka: 'Texas without the SIG Sauers.'
Thank you James for bringing me to Substack. PS do you have any snappy comebacks for the trolls on Instagram having shitfits because folks are having a good time dancing to Beyoncé's new song? Asking for a friend.
I thought the pic of the giraffe was a three way or menage et trois ( it might not be spelled correctly ). Some of those comments are hilarious , James ! Love your responses !😅🤣😂
Love the book -- maybe mostly because my sense of history-humor hasn't developed much past Richard Armour's twisted tales and Monty Python (and a fair amount of gratuitous profanity), but whatever -- in fact, loved it enough to come find this substack, which did not disappoint. (I'm agnostic about the cerberaffe/giberus controversy, however; either works for me.)
I was amazed to see the story about Operation Auca -- read a book about it when I was maybe 9yo. Weird, yes, but it was my dad's. He was making a model of a Piper Cub, which I helped with, and he gave me the book as a sort of related thing. Dad was a linguist who taught for the SIL in the 60s, so he knew Nate Saint's sister and other missionaries who went there. LIke most things, seeing something from a less religious perspective later in life is... interesting lol.
There was a study released a few years ago stating that people who curse colorfully are more intelligent than those who cannot make themselves drop an F bomb here and there. No idea if the study had merit — it could be like the horse dewormer “research” during Covid for all I know, but it made me snicker.
Someone at another substack this morning mentioned this Voltaire quote. Seems to work here.
"I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it."

I was totally shocked to see my name on here and then immediately disappointed that it wasn’t me. 🤣
Also, I’m absolutely going to steal the response to “what is a woman.”
Am I the only one in here voting for Cerberaffe?
"What women's thing should men totally start doing?"
How 'bout washing their arses??

I'm Team Cerberaffe.
But I would absolutely go out drinking with Team Girberus and we would have a grand ol' time because we're all friends.
I have to say Girberus. Rolls off the tongue.
I really just love you!

Another vote for girberus here!

I love the Girberus' faces all imply low level dissapointment, they must guard the gates of the interwebs.
