"Ye're like a skelpit pudding's bum." My #BurnsNight tribute to the bard.
THIS WEEK'S CARTOON: I could insult Donald Trump endlessly, but as tomorrow is Burns Night, let's do it in the style of the bard. Warning: May be rude. I don't care.

I could insult Donald Trump endlessly, but as it's Burns Night, it's more fun to do it in the style of the bard himself.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.
"bagpuss n. An old, fat, furry cunt; a saggy, old, cloth-like, red and white fadge that has a few whimsical stories to tell."
Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

"Ultimately, neither version of You Love Us adequately conveys just why it's been performed more than any other Manic Street Preachers song..."

chats in squirrel are limited
to a sort of Roman salute
foreleg extended then folded
open paw on breast as if to say
Look I take you in my open paw
and hold you to my heart
then it gets tricky…

—William Bonar, “SQRL”

Happy #SquirrelAppreciationDay 🐿️ to all who celebrate
