    Saying this with only an understanding of orbital mechanics learned from Kerbal Space Program, I’d say the chances are damn near 0%. Hitting the sun is actually pretty difficult and requires a precise amount of Δv (change in velocity). This thing had such a huge Δv that it would have left the solar system.

    Last year, he was quoted as saying "Luckily, I don’t snort, er, cocaine! It’s just not my thing.”

    Kind of a weird thing to say. Most people would say “I don’t use cocaine” or “I don’t do cocaine”. But using the word “snort” to remain truthful, and then being caught on camera rubbing coke on his gums seems pretty clear.

    I’d go as far to say that’s 99% cocaine and maybe 1% that it’s a zyn or something else.








  • I only know one guy who is into blacksmithing and - being a nerd myself, I say this with kindness - but this dude is a super nerd. He’s also one of the scrawniest dudes I know. I’ve heard him tell women that he’s into blacksmithing before and it definitely does not have the desired effect that this chart would imply.

    You always have to consider Rule #1 when taking these things into account.


  • My middle-school aged kids explained the difference between cooked and cookin’ to me the other day, and now they really get to roll their eyes when I intentionally use them in as corny ways as possible.

    Bonus points for coming with other, terrible, slang. You can really get a cringe if you say something like "Chat, we’re cookin’ now - I’m all rizzed up”
