Eventually the Hamburglar moved on to more lucrative crimes such as Hamdrugdealing and Hamblackmail.

The badge of the London Necropolis and National Mausoleum Company. Surrounded by an ouroboros, a skull and crossbones sits above an hourglass and the motto "Mortus quies vivis salus". I washed out of Latin shortly after discovering Caecilius was in the fucking horto, but think it's loosely "peace for the dead, safety for the living".

The whole design looks like it was outsourced to a 13yo metal fan, tbh.

Every group of friends has one person who is a complete and utter Jim O'Callaghan. If that doesn't describe one of your friends it's probably you.

The President has signed an Executive Order granting himself the power to cure scrofula by laying his hands on a child.

For example there is no explanation of how the "Family scrofula days" will be funded, or how renaming a month as Scroftember will help in any way.

RFK Jr's plan to bring back scrofula is ambitious but lacking in detail say experts.

Fascinating to see the Gremlinologists staring at an old man's rashes like haruspices.

Auguste Escoffier wasn't his real name. It was merely a nyom de plume.

Shocked to see Sinn FΓ©in and the British government disagreeing about the legitmacy of armed conflict.

-Hi would you like to purchase electricity from this company?

I already do. If you're sending people door to door maybe give them a list of doors not to knock on so you don't waste the time of people who already give you money.

I never got to play the north of England as much as I'd have liked to. The few gigs I did up there were all fun.

Used, rather. Not sure why the present tense feels more natural when discussing books.
