Still Makes Ur Mom Jokes @sapphireseer - Tumblr Blog

A scene from the epic ‘Ural-Batyr’, about how the evil serpent Zarkum swallowed the magical stag and choked on it, all to gain ability to transform into a handsome guy so he could woo the sacred bird-maiden Homay 😭 Even though Zarkum is a scoundrel in the story, this episode moved me :D

Oh thanks but what the fuck does any of that mean

I’ve seen quite a few of these in my time, but this one takes the cake.

This is fucking killing me

Golp: a roundel purpure.

Repeat this to yourself until it begins to have meaning

Okay then since some of you need to be reminded of this:

Roundels are circles in heraldry. They are named according to their color, which also has its own lingo. Let’s meet them!

Bezant: roundel or (gold) 🟡

Plate: roundel argent (silver) ⚪️

Torteau: roundel gules (red) 🔴

Pomme: roundel vert (green) 🟢

Hurt: roundel azure (blue) 🔵

Golp: roundel purpure (purple) 🟣

Pellet: roundel sable (black) ⚫️

If your field is strewn with roundels, you can describe it appropriately as being bezanty, hurty, golpy, and so on.

Happy pride from a professional of both Gay and Crime

i just learned about a scam in the 1960s where the crux of the scam was filling barrels with water and topping it off with a layer of vegetable oil. so when inspectors opened the barrels they thought it was 100% oil, which the scammer would use as collateral for loans. genius shit

lmfao wait wait hold on

As De Angelis stock of warehouse receipts increased, he began to replace the soybean oil in his tanks with water. Some tanks had special compartments, while others were hooked-up to a maze of pipes to shuttle oil from one tank to the next to fool inspectors.

LISTEN TO WELL THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM ON YT

They did an episode about this recently (called the 1963 Salad Oil Scandal) and it is... SO much wilder than you think

At one point the guy in the passage above had a warehouse that, on paper, stored more vegetable oil than had *ever been made*.

It's one of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite podcasts. You should watch it.

This satire article resonated with me so much

tough luck!

H2Octopus is the layman’s term for this particularly unique creature. Somehow this octopus manages to maintain its shape which is comprised almost entirely of water; minus the lightly scaled membrane connecting its tentacles. If you try to remove it from its aquatic home it simply melts into nothing. So please don’t.
