Is the reason you like sharks due to the Trumpster's well documented fear of them?

People with a house full of kids have less time and resources to keep track and cause trouble for the politicians shenanigans.

Synchronized Swimming is the most difficult thing you can do in the water. Next time you’re swimming try holding your breath while upside down with your legs sticking straight up out of the water... oh, and maintain a prescribed depth along with other swimmers doing said same. It’s like trying to do a basketball lay-up shot or jump a hurdle, in slow motion.

Decorating the inner fridge? Shut the damn door, we’re not cooling the whole house.

I had heard long ago that pop the weasel referred to pawning a Beaver hat which were popular and fairly expensive in the UK.
