"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
I did post that Harry Enfield clip, Paco, so quite likely that is where you saw it first. Well remembered, off the top of my head I used it in a post for International Womens Day several years ago.
The "'We At The NSA Are Not Spying On You,' Insists Muffled Voice Coming From Tucker Carlson's Toaster" link brought back a memory ... ...
When I worked in Chicago, one of my co-workers was a native of the Ukraine who survived Stalin's artificial famine, the Nazi occupation, and a stint in a concentration camp.
He still had relatives in his homeland, then part of Poland, as I recall. Which, in turn, was a member of the Warsaw Pact Nations. This meant they were under Soviet occupation in all but name.
But he did visit them (at least once), and he told me how they were sitting in his hotel, talking. I forget exactly who did it and why, but one person leaned over the radio and said (presumably in Polish), "We're hungry."
And the radio responded, "So are we."
My co-worker lacked a sense of humor, so I'm pretty sure this is a true story.

The I'm your dingleberry one cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteThat could be from Just Joe Biden at his intellectual 'best' as well as senile Joe.
Great story, Jeff! I'm inclined to believe it's true.
ReplyDeleteV: You're absolutely right: that meme is a one-size-fits-all for Biden's entire "career".
