For a quarter of a century both the flag cake story and "God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule" have stuck with me since first reading them.
Hey everybody. On the 25-year anniversary, we're reprinting the much revered 9/11 edition of The Onion and sending that free to every member this month. It's been 25 long years. Look back in anger.
The immortal final moments of our fearless leader will ring on for decades. They are the only guiding light in these trying times.
This is what my nightmares are like after I take too much cough syrup
Cannot wait for the hordes to crack those suckers like a piñata.
This is where the 1% will go to restart civilization after a nuclear attack. But it for me thinking: what if the uber wealthy built these bunkers for more people — and not for nuclear attacks but for the climate crisis that will get us all — instead of trying to leave the planet?
lmao this rules so much. Please do this. Please pick a fight with the one remaining box office juggernaut the games industry has left

So good that the RBA is worried about wage growth driving up inflation...
How about you stay out of it, 'Financial Review'. What does this have to do with the Dow Jones and how retirees can avoid paying tax?
At about 13 I was reading the Belgariad (this was literature in 1986) and there was a line about a Zedar "prostrating" himself before Torak (I'm so sorry) and because I'd heard about prostates I got confused I thought he'd cut his dick off to show loyalty.

The liberals’ response to the shitty housing standards everyone is paying exorbitant amounts of rent for: “deal with it peasants”
A brief reminder of the sorts of candidates that choose to run for One Nation, “one of the gayest parties in Australia”.
