I was at a party last month and we sang some songs from the clapping games little girls in particular play. We found there were differences in the lyrics we knew by age, and also I was different than even others my age, presumably because I was from a different region. Several of the songs I knew were much dirtier. I wondered if it was because I grew up in a lower income area.

It considers the possibility of speaking from our anuses, but seems to dismiss the idea. Wonder if Jeph will see it. Some laugh out loud material here.

Oh my god that article just made my day
It wasn't even the fart talk, it was the "Le Petomane" part. Now I get the joke behind the Governor's name in Blazing Saddles oh my god <3333333

also that dude is entirely wrong. I remember learning about Le Petomane a few years back and found a super poor quality audio clip of him on youtube. It...it was terrifyingly impressive.
