This is the first European Federalist post I've seen. Is this typical fare?

Once you get the hang of it, I think it's real fun.

In space, no one can peer your bean.

Wardrobe could've given her larger underwear, but why?

Well, for God's sake, keep going. Don't stop now!

I'm 6'4" and have driven tons of cars and owned a few. Stepping into a proper pickup was the first time I thought "oh, a vehicle designed for me." I'm also a carpenter, so it is essential to my work. Memes like this are low hanging fruit.

Yes, we do have a size problem in the USA. Is everyone that drives one of these trucks a selfish, tiny-dicked, backwards-thinking asshole? No, and honestly, the majority of the people that I know are like me and need a work vehicle like this. More than half of them are in a union. We can point out the absurdity of the size wars when it comes to American vehicle design, but stop picking on pickup trucks.

Before Jenny, there was Pennsylvania 6-5000. From wiki:

"Many big band musicians played in Hotel Pennsylvania's Cafe Rouge in New York City, including the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The hotel's telephone number, Pennsylvania 6-5000, inspired the Glenn Miller 1940 Top 5 Billboard hit of the same name."

And similarly, Transylvania 6-5000, which is where I first heard it.

Is this the same accent the indie musicians sing in, where they do weird things with their vowels to sound like they ate a lemon recently?

I've noticed a staccato cadence to some speech that people might say is indicative of autism, but not an accent.

ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king!

DENNIS: Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
