Iraq 2003 Nameless Marine to Cataline: Hey, you’re bleeding, sir! Cataline: Yeah, I know. Two seconds later. Cataline: Wait! Say that again! Nameless Marine: Say what, sir? Cataline (disgusted): NEVERMIND! My only goal for that entire fucking war was now blown. On April 30th, 1975 Saigon fell to North Vietnam. The pictures of Americans being […]

He’s following the same precautions that the guys that work gas stations do (honestly you may as well shake a rattle and make offerings to Great Ma-Goo-Boo for all the […]

Read More RE:View Aliens Part IThe earnings call was less then pleasant for all involved. Disney’s income is officially down 90%.
