Hello
I like your personality already. Very entertaining.

I'm reminded of the comedic genius of Kevin Turvey (as, of course, realized by Rik Mayall (yes: The Rik Mayall)):



Full video is over 40 minutes long but it's made of lots and lots of like ... 2 or 3 minute clips. So I encourage those who are curious to just keep watching until the get bored (if it happens).

I will watch all of that. I liked Rik Mayall. I have time in the day most days. Unless it's shopping day, then I don't.

That's not how you find the religitards' special invisible friend.  Everyone knows you sprinkle flour on the floor and check for his footprints in the morning!

I'm guessing that if I'm looking for Jesus that I should use self raising flour.

I guess the key difference is that the latter tends to be caused by getting too much action but the former tends to be caused by not getting enough.

Welcome! Shy

Now I just imagined an evil version of Vincent the Nipper called Vice-Ant the Snipper: A gigantic serial-killing insectoid humanoid AntPerson carrying a very large pair of razor-sharp garden sheers that he goes around snipping people with ... and he only kills people who have committed particular vices. (You know, it's like that movie, SE7EN).

I also thought of a variant of Vincent The Nipper
