Everybody must get stoned Bob Dylan
Not to disparage Chappelli’s charity work, but does the man [...]

“Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.”
God. Somewhere in the bible. (I’m not sure he would be getting the outcome he wanted by that course of action).

Why is Michael Jackson speaking out against litter at Cottesloe? Or is he just teh garbage? It could also be a merman. Wouldn’t that eye make-up also pollute?

“Hello from the gutters of Rockingham, (New York City) , which are filled with dog manure, vomit, stale wine, urine and blood.”
