@mn5 I need details
Correlation does not equal causation. I think you will find that the drugs will have killed him. not the penis glue...
My thoughts exactly, although I was wondering where the break occurs when you can't pee. Something's gotta give somewhere along the line right...
Don’t glue the end of your cock and you should be right
Maybe not just don't glue the end of your cock. Work the shaft too!

Suriname’s vice president inserted himself into a pro soccer match. He’s 60.
Convicted drug trafficker, father of 50 and Inter Moengotapoe owner Ronnie Brunswijk surpassed Japan’s Kazuyoshi Miura, who at 54 is still playing for Yokohama FC.
**Suriname’s vice president inserted himself into a pro soccer match. He’s 60.** Ronnie Brunswijk has been a lot of things over his 60 years. Son of subsistence farmers from one of the poorest regions of one of the poorest nations in the western hemisphere. Handpicked bodyguard of a military dictator. A Robin Hood-type character who was convicted of bank robbery and revered for his handouts to the poor. A convicted drug trafficker in two European countries. Father to at least 50 children, according to the New York Times. And, as of last year, vice president of Suriname. He also is the owner of a soccer team called Inter Moengotapoe, which competes in the top division of Suriname’s professional ranks. And on Tuesday night (Wednesday AEST) during an international club match, Brunswijk added a new entry to his resume: world’s oldest professional soccer player. -

This will no doubt be a repost but I am in tears of laughter every time I see this.
I laughed waaay too hard at that.
It's a goddamn fart joke, and yet I actually laughed out loud.Edit: fuck, I watched it again, and laughed again.
I feel ashamed, yet happy.Maybe I'll just watch it on repeat until I no longer laugh.
Which reminds me - I discovered a bonus in my downloaded collection of Archer last night.
Somebody (maybe the actual production company, as it was rather professionally done) - took Archer Season 1 Episode 1 - and re-did it with the titular character replaced by a dinosaur. Video and audio. It seemed like a gimmick which would get pretty old in about 10 seconds... and it nearly did, but then became... remarkably amusing. 20 or 25 minutes of the same gag, but somehow it just kept working... I watched the entire bloody thing, and was still laughing at the stupid gag right near the end.Had the same effect on me. Sigh, I'm so low brow.
Just watched it again. Literally laughed out loud, again. It is fucking rare for me to literally laugh out loud. Occasionally something will garner a half-snort, or semi-guffaw.
But that goddamn extended fart-joke... gets me every time.
And now I'm going to download and watch the movie, to confirm what I'm absolutely sure of - I'm not going to be able to watch that scene ever again without inserting the sound effects in my mind. -

@victor-meldrew odd choice, but then my car is called Steve Coogan.
Because you have trouble keeping your car away from hookers and illicit substances?

Two men not to be forgotten:
At the heart of the story is Zwartendijk and the Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara, who improvised an improbable escape route from Lithuania to the Japanese port of Tsuruga and beyond. Over 10 frantic days in the summer of 1940, the two men issued “visas” to 2,139 people. Researchers estimate 6,000 to 10,000 may have escaped, as women and children often travelled on male relatives’ documents.
…
Yet, long after the war, when the scale of the Holocaust was well known, Zwartendijk was never feted. In 1964, he was even reprimanded by the Dutch foreign ministry after a newspaper report about the mysterious “Angel of Curaçao” emerged. Brokken suggests that Zwartendijk’s heroism may have shamed his contemporaries.
Zwartendijk was furious about the reprimand, but he was tormented by not knowing how many had escaped on his Curaçao visas. In later years, in failing health, he never stopped asking what became of the people who had stood before him in that light-brown panelled office in Kaunas. His son thinks his father feared none had made it beyond Siberia. “He must have thought that most of these people perished. He must have been worried that he sent them to their deaths.”
In 1976, researchers assessed that 95% of Jewish refugees with Zwartendijk’s papers survived the war. The news arrived at the Zwartendijk house the day after Jan’s funeral.
