Thread Killer

They're called kilts.

It's a kilt only if you wear it regimental style. Otherwise it's a skirt.


...But I'm not going to check.

There are only two acceptable ways for Obama and Biden to exit the white house after their term is up.

a)


b)
Or if they don't think they can make those clothes look good they could just walk away slowly as the building explodes. I mean when Trump gets elected it would happen anyway so they might as well do it themselves and use it as the cover of their rap album.

Nah, if the building's doomed anyway, invite a bunch of Canadians to set fire to it for nostalgia's sake.

I thought the British burned the White House down? (or were they British Canadians cause if so then I retract my statement.)

Wiki lists the troops that burned the White House (during the Burning of Washington) in 1814 as British.

Wasn't Canada even more British back then than now? Meaning that politically they've become almost an independent country somewhere along the years but back then it would not have mattered if the troops were from India or Canada, they would have still be considered as British, right?

[RavynousHunter]

...Maybe?  Honestly, I've no clue.  If they were citizens of the British Empire, then technically speaking, it wouldn't be wrong to call them British.

Who was the villain?

[RavynousHunter]

Might just do that, thankee!

TL;DR porn star visits Iran for cosmetic surgery. Now there is a minor scandal at how they let someone as "sinful" as her enter the country. She used a fake name and there are complaints that the guards should have realized this, so far the best defense in my opinion is this:

"When an American-British star applied for a visa through a travel company [and entered the country], some asked why they [the agents] have not recognized her. But how on earth would our colleagues recognize these types of ladies?"

Which does make sense. Anyone who recognized a porn actress would have to explain WHY they know what she does for a living and this leads to choice of either losing your job for watching porn or letting her pass and appearing incompetent. (I am assuming that she was using her real pass and name rather than fakes but I'm not sure if the article mentions it. I'm don't think I've seen her films/pics yet.)

Better question: why visit Iran for cosmetic surgery? There are surely much better places to go?

Better question: why visit Iran for cosmetic surgery? There are surely much better places to go?

from the article:

As many as 40,000 cosmetic procedures are carried out in the country each year, according to the Iranian Association of Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeons, making it one of the world's top 10 most popular places for plastic surgery.

The porn star herself has praised the quality of cosmetic work being done in Iran. "It's very common for models to visit Iran for surgery, especially facial, as they do it the best," she said in an interview with Cairo Scene.

(margianlly related, Iran is also one of the countries with most sex reassignment surgeries in the world)

Largely because they force gays to get sex changes. Still, it led to them being world leaders in cosmetic surgery, so that's something, I suppose.

Fair enough. In my defense, I was at work at the time.

How triggering.
