I once won a round of Cards Against Humanity by playing the word “smegma” and explaining what it meant to my opponents.
Did you know that the writers of Red Dwarf weren’t referencing that? Also, I haven’t checked, but I have reason to believe the fridge manufacturers weren’t either.

Yeah, like my wife.
(I feel bad about this joke. I’m not trying to engage in misogyny. If you enjoyed the stupidity I had to offer, I’m glad and thank you for doing so.)

I’ve always loved the Unix wizard poster.

I would have set a turkey on their ottoman, personally.

For what it’s worth, this also works well if you want to lie to yourself about how much weight you’ve gained.
That’s probably not the healthiest approach, though.
As an alternative, I once was wearing a no name brand one of these at work and it simply broke. I spent the rest of the day with an extension cord tied around my waist. It was also adjustable and, as a bonus, all of my customers of the day got a kick out of it.

Fair enough, just don’t forget to tie an onion to your belt.

Happy to be of service, but I feel like calling Grandpa Simpson (or Abe if you prefer) “the old Simpsons man” is doing him a disservice.

6-7 is a thing kids say these days, apparently. Like 69, 420, etc.; except so far as I’ve seen 6-7 is the height of a popular basketball player, a reference to a rap song, or possibly both.
I’m not going to attack it because I’ve made plenty of dumb references, but I don’t know enough to justify this one. My kid is too young to say this and I have no other connection to modern youth culture.
I’m not sure how the numbers connect to the image.

Nice view, though.

My life so far with my wife is for sure something I would describe as winning.

I’ve a '79 Corvette. The first night I met my wife, I took her for a ride in it to the local Waffle House.
I guess it worked; she married me eight years later.

“World view” is very fitting here.

Everyone loves their own brand, but I’ve not really enjoyed them in general.
- Comment on I can still smell them 1 week ago:
Yeah.

All I know is that they smelled good.

I thought Pinky was a rat, but apparently he’s a mouse. In either case, not a mole rat.
Also, wow, there’s so much more information than I anticipated in that article.

I have nothing funny to say, but I admire the cleverness of your contribution and appreciate your defense of me.

Yeah, I’ve tried to do that on my grill without precooking. Never got it to work.

Of course, I apologize.

Have you thought about the fact that you’re on lemmy?

I’m pretty sure I’ve only played 4. However, based on your username, I’m guessing you’re not without bias on the matter.

I don’t put seeds on mine, but they seem like sesame seeds. What were you picturing?
The rolls are:

When I was of a similar age I received an email purporting to be from a woman who said that she was wearing no clothes, visible on her website. I clicked the link - not sure why; that kind of thing didn’t much interest me at that age - and was presented with an adult woman wearing naught but high heels.
I responded to her email scolding her for her false claims. Shoes were still clothes. I never got a response for some reason.

No, I’m not in the UK.
What you describe is delicious, too, but I’m not aware of a colloquialism that describes it.
What I’m accustomed to by that name is a less fancy looking version of this:
