I’m so there, man. Now, where do you live again?
To post things like this: eight solid minutes of Monkee singalong insanity. Who needs drunk karaoke nights when you’ve got YouTube?
It seems that in the latest development in TWAT and The War Against Liquids, the forces that be have turned their beady little eyes to the tiny terrorist known as Harry Potter.
American airport staff almost stopped Harry Potter author JK Rowling boarding a flight because she would not part with the manuscript for the final book.
Rowling was not prepared to stow her top secret notes for book number seven in her check-in baggage when she flew back from a book festival in August.
Eventually she was allowed to take them on the flight, bound in elastic bands.
Indeed, if that manuscript fell into the hands of terrorists, what havoc could they create? Unimaginable, worldwide suffering would invariably follow the manuscript-napping.
But seriously, what was she going to do? Use it to threaten the pilot? “Turn this plane around NOW and land in Havana or Hermione gets written out!“
Warning: N-word!!! Dave Chappelle may, in fact, be insane, but he’s also hilarious.
