Love this passage: ”In less clinical terms, imagine taking the most annoying parts of science fiction and Libertarianism, isolating them, and then somehow blending them up into a cursed musical slurry. Then, infuse that slurry with a distinctive incel vibe, and presto! You’ve got one of the most powerful contraception options on the market.” UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment

Popular Post sphinxsix Posted May 14, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2021 @ARQuint I didn't know this was a variation on MT's words. Please notice that actually also TW's initials are also kind of variation on MT's initials.. I believe the first statement was his own though. How about some more TW?

Popular Post bobbmd Posted May 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2021 @ARQuint don’t know if this is appropriate for this thread (or at all for that matter) how about his line “ I’m so horny the crack of dawn ought be careful around me”—or for a real hoot listen to the (very drunk) cover of ‘Shenandoah’ by him Keith Richards and I think Johnny Depp (on something called ‘Sea Rogues— pirate ballads and sea chanties’ Superdad and Confused 2 Link to comment
