In truth the napkin and maybe one of those packet wet wipes would really sell it.

Honestly more intimidating if you use the proper "Bless us our lord for these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord, Amen"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Interesting, I learned it as "Bless us, Oh Lord, and these thy gifts"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think it's 'O Lord' actually yeah. But definitely not 'and'. Jesus doesn't bless himself!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's asking god to bless the people ("us") and the food ("these thy gifts") that they're about to receive from his bounty via jesus

At least that's how I understood it growing up, but who knows, I was just reciting it by rote as a kid and haven't thought about it in years haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Same. I think your version is the proper one, yeah.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago

This sounds forking crazy.

Far better than trying the Knifey-Spoony defense.

Remember folks, it goes BAM! The old fork in the eye.

Why dont you just use your gun?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's really impractical to eat a guy with a gun instead of a fork.

Practice rolling one of your eyes up but not the other one. You do that with a fork and you still have the high ground.

You have a mini sword breaker. It'll be fine...

Edit: autocorrect....

“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my fork upon thee!”

In my mind I heard this as Samuel Jackson reciting the words without any intonation as if to check if he still remembers them 30-ish years later (he did that in an interview some time back).

Where is this from? I know these lines from a German band called SITD: Richtfest starting at minute 3:00

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The for the link!

My head makes the bible verse sound like singing because I listened to SITD's so much

This is so psychopathic that it might actually work.

The scariest thing that someone can be is to be completely unpredictable.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago

I learned this as a kid being bullied. Bullies get scared of you if you seem to like being bullied.

Just act like a lunatic and a proper bully will start to get scared.

10/10 times I would chose to fight a MMA fighter than a crazy rando who weight 45Kg and doesn't seem to be able to walk straight.

Anyone that's into it all of a sudden is terrifying

Holy shit that episode of IT Crowd was actually a documentary‽

a German former computer repair technician who received international attention for murdering and cannibalising Bernd Brandes, whom he had found via the Internet as a voluntary victim

And that's just the summary

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Of course he's from Essen

lobster bib with a little cartoon robber on it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Imagine having your dead corpse brought into the morgue with ten gunshot wounds and wearing a blood stained lobster bib with a little cartoon robber on it.

Also ... this made me laugh more than it should have ... thanks.
