Can there be a spin-off (maybe called "KATG With Exaggeration"?) in which K and C discuss a previously recorded show but Keith adds exaggeration in all of the places he kept reminding us there was none?

[Sparrow]

if it's at all redeeming for my state, we gave y'all the Girl Scouts. they're historically a very progressive organization for girls, cis and identified.

they are entirely separate from the Boy Scouts.

Q: Does Girl Scouting support families of faith?

A: Yes. Girl Scouting supports girls from all backgrounds and beliefs. While we are a secular organization that refrains from teaching religious or spiritual beliefs or practices, we believe that the motivating force in Girl Scouting is a spiritual one, and we greatly value our longstanding partnerships with religious organizations across many faiths that share the values of the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

We encourage girls to develop connections to their own spiritual and religious beliefs by earning recognitions provided by their faith communities and by earning the My Promise, My Faith pin, which helps a girl deepen the connection between the Girl Scout Law and her faith. We support the right of faith leaders to verify that program delivered to girls in their places of worship is consistent with their faith's teachings.

they also make the pope very unhappy.

Pope tells Girl Scouts to oppose ‘ideologies’ against God’s design for marriage

the US Conference of Catholic Bishops has cautioned that some aspects of the Girl Scouts pedagogy go against Catholic teaching and doctrine.

What's goin' on, weirdo?

[Scumhook]

I've never really enjoyed Shakespeare.

Until this ep.

Keith should release a series of audio cliff-notes on all the bullshit books they make you read in school.

This entire week of shows was outstanding but Ted was a great guest to wrap it all up with. Amazing shows!

Did you see the face that black chick was pulling in the pic?

I can't really blame Google for the mix up. I'm just surprised it hasn't identified more white chicks as ducks.

QFT

What's up w white girls making that dumb face? Is it just Americans?

I'm a big fan of trashy women. That look though...cripes. It shrivels the peen something fierce.

I don't know whether to blame cosmetic surgery or the prevalence of anal porn. No man nor woman should ever strike such a look.

It really does boggle the penis. Someone notify Change.org

This trend has gained unwanted traction. It's gotten to where man can hardly masturbate to rando internet pics.

Que tragedia
