Nothing brings a community together...

...like FIRE!

Especially a backyard fire, and even MORE especially when it's not actually contained in anything, like a firepit, but is rather more...free-ranging let's say. Ranging along your neighbours fence to three houses down the block, and the lovely stands of dry lumber there.

Boy, that REALLY brings a community out together in a spirit of togetherness. Bucket-brigading with anything reasonably concave you can lay your hands on, filling them with sand and water and anything else to deny oxygen. The sort of cheery comaraderie where a student can say to your face, with a big smile, "Guess I won't see you tomorrow; that was poison ivy you just walked barefoot on."

Nope, nosiree, nothing like a little spontaneous firefighting to bring a community together.

And, for the record, none of the above was sarcasm. It was literally very, very cool. Except for the whole 'save your house' vibe.

Giant Robots, as immune to fire as they are to all other sorts of physical damage.

More wisdom from Fark

A wonderful one-line summary of American (and, to a lesser extent Canadian) political process:

Nero fiddled while Rome burned, and Romans argued about the song he was playing.

Giant Robots, absolutely sure that it was in a 3/4 time signature.

I'm so Holy, I shit pidgeons.

Seriously, did noone at Nissan think about this?

Inappropriate commentary

I'm not even in the right fucking country and I love this man. And I love this image. Please America, don't fuck this one up too.

Giant RObama.

Mindless entertainment

"...More assumptions than the Holy Week in Rome"

I just read that on fark.com and giggled for a good solid 5 minutes.

This has nothing at all to do with the fact that I've been awake for 14 hours, and it's just after 5 PM here.

Giant Robots, so very, very tired...
