Someone shone the Brad Dourif signal, I got here as fast as I could.
The X-Files is genuinely a timelessly good show, because when not focusing on overarching conspiracy plot, they would really just focus on a single concept and quite crucially, it would cast an incredible actor to center the episode around who would be utterly god damn captivating to watch.

It's because they looked from pig to man and from man to pig and... *gunshot rings out as I'm justifiably assassinated by the shut the fuck up about George Orwell hit squad*
A Wyoming county fair is bringing back pig wrestling after a six-year hiatus, with a new rule: No men allowed.
It’s meant to protect the swine after concerns about animal cruelty and pleas for humane treatment surged to county commissioners.

The problem with that Whamageddon thing is that Last Christmas is a stone cold banger and trying to avoid it proves that you don't truly understand the meaning of the season, to celebrate our Lord and Savior, Saint George Michael.

Thread time.
These proposed local government reforms are being reported as the end of Regional Councils but actually they're probably the end of a lot of rural and smaller district councils in New Zealand. Not sure what I mean?
