David, as you know, it's Thanksgiving here in the colonies. I'm trying to find the button to send you leftover turkey. Please help.
And no, I've not had too much to drink, thank you.

Chicken skin teddy.
Is it stuffed?

Yes, it’s hard to top. Makes the rest of us look half-arsed, frankly.
And no, I’ve not had too much to drink, thank you.
And why not?
Is it stuffed?
It’d be all “ooh” and “ahh” on Christmas morning, but by the end of the day imagine how much fluff would be stuck to it.

He could cook the chicken skin teddy with that thing.

IKEA self-assembly instructions from hell.
Hard to distinguish from the real thing.

Colour(ed) photographs of Paris a century ago? When Paris wasn't the vibrant, exciting, multicultural city it now is? Racist nostalgia!

I feel sorry for the Cessna pilot. He was just tooling along, probably trying to see if his airspeed indicator was working right, and then every clown in the sky had to call in and show him up.

Well, mebbe. But by the time the Blackbird guys weighed in I like to think of him with a grin on his face saying "I got to get me one of these."

Ehn, I doubt it. After all, He was just tooling along, probably trying to see if his airspeed indicator was working right, . . .
I somewhat agree with Hedgehog, where he was probably cackling his head off as, where as Will notes, . . . and then every clown in the sky . . all got thoroughly trounced by the Blackbird crew . . . .

I'm actually a member of the community that had a member put up the Blackbird post. The author didn't really intend the excerpt to go viral, but it rather took on a life of its own, to the point that it's a running gag. Phrases like "Shulthulhu rises" and "Don't mention the sidebar" are in vogue: the blog management software brings up "popular posts" on a sidebar, so it's always clear when it's obtained a big link, again (again). The site itself is a general cars and offtopic forum that was a formal parasite on Jalopnik until an editorial change left the affiliation much more informal.
