Oh, er, I do want to clarify that I love all man as my brother and these xenophobic and nationality-based stereotypes are mainly being raised here in order that I may revel in the nostalgia of remembering my father's streams of expletives about, let's be honest, pretty much every other driver on the road once he got to hour 18 of nonstop driving (really, if i am being racist, please someone tell me - I get the worrying feeling I'm this close (GESTURES) to something from Top Gear or the Daily Mail)

The same Germans who would turn up 3 hours before dawn to put their towels on the chairs by the pool?

i knowwwwwwwwwwww Here's a secret: The British on holiday in France got mad at them too, because they slowed down our daytrips to restock our binge-drinking stores with as much cheap duty-free booze as we could fit in the back of our cars. TOP TIP: you can fit more in if you make the kids sit in the boot, or even leave them in a hypermarché in Calais - they'll be fine there for a few weeks. (NOT DUCHIST) (ALSO NOT NETHERLANDISHIST) (I HATE EVERYONE EQUALLY, EXCEPT J CLARKSON, WHOM (GRAMMAR) I HATE MORE.) My Dad used to loudly complain about caravans with [whatever the heck the sticker was for Dutch vehicles - my original guess, "D," was probably actually Deutchland] stickers when they got in the way while he wanted to drive fast on the autoroutes; this was usually during the parts of our holidays when we were around Caen or Bordeaux. If I could still trust he'd be able to understand me, I would gleefully tell him I'd just discovered an internet chum may be one of them.

Oh! Oh! Families from the Netherlands driving on holiday in France..! please tell me you were towing a caravan (also I agree on the Frenman/Germnch language above, my brain also popped a gasket.)

I'll gladly forfeit my copy, if it helps.

KS projects that get overfunded are at some risk of not being able to deliver if they didn't make plans "just in case" they were wildly successful. For example: 50 t-shirts and 30 artbooks were fine when you were making a 5 cent loss on each one due to postage, but if it gets to 500 or 5,000, soon all the KS money has been spoken for just to send out rewards... There's a discussion of this in the comments on Matt Haughey's post about a KS project gone bad. You may have to click "more comments" at the bottom of the page to read it.

Fatter.

Is there a way to convert xbox points back into money or gift cards or etc.? I still find "S.a.r.l." really amusing, like "snarl." What happened to the good old Plc?

OKAY now that's done, let's discuss Thunderpeel's doctor problem. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED going to medical school so you can be your own doctor?

HOWEVER if you do want to make rape jokes, go ahead. Just know that somewhere I will be shoving crisps into my face with both hands while tears roll silently down my bulging cheeks. (As I think we covered in the Feminism thread aeons ago, I am a veteran of the Metafilter Boyzone Threads and so my instinctual response to such a topic is a glib one-liner.)

I've not yet been a victim of rape* but I do have chums that have been and rape jokes make me uncomfortable. The thing is, they make me uncomfortable and yet I laugh at the funny ones. Then I second-guess myself about why I laughed and whether this makes me a bad person and usually determine that yes, it does. And then I go and cheer myself up with some bread or a biscuit. So: please stop making rape jokes or consider reducing the number you make, because rape jokes are making me fat. * I say it this way because given the numbers, there's a non-infinitesimal chance that I may yet be a victim oh, jesus, that's a scary thought

They really are. The filling is soft and creamy and tastes a little cold on your tongue. Also:

rape is too creepy dudes organ harvesting is fine but rape is too far (ENIGMATIC HALF-IRONIC, HALF-SERIOUS SMILEY.)

You know, of course, that I am also all "congrats, Kroms!*" but saying that would be boring. * fuck Kroms

On the comments to Progresscast 1, idlethumbs said: Funding is currently at $91,907 and you know what we must do.

How long before she is properly prepared for you to harvest the organs?

YOU HAVE REVEALED THE SECRET

Mildly amused at how quickly people commented on the first progresscast to complain that it wasn't immediately available in a downloadable version. YOU HAVE CREATED MONSTERS.

I had forgotten how utterly ridiculous Scoops' facial hair is.

ASSUMING my car does not blow up or something else major requires that I lower my pledge, I shall be requesting a pleasant dinner. I suggested to my husband that Nick Breckon could be my +1 and he said Congrats Nick.

OH THERE IT IS

Oh! Podblast #1! Gosh!
