A circus act. You may have heard of him from his stage name of The Amazing Gurgling Human Foundation.

I've heard his act was a "once in a lifetime" show. And that it was "to die for".

HAAHAHA

“The amazing gurgling human foundation.”

Wasn't Kirk the captain of some starship thingy? I seem to recall some sort of kelvin timeline where stuff changed but I don't recall anyone named "Charlie" being of any importance whatsoever.

Probably an Extra.

No you're thinking of Captain Kirk. Charlie Kirk was an NFL quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. He played college football for Michigan State and was drafted by the Washington Redskins in 2012.

[-] discostjohn@programming.dev 12 points 2 days ago

No way, you're thinking of Kirk Cousins. Charlie Kirk is the guitarist from Metallica

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 12 points 2 days ago

That's Kirk Hammett. Charlie Kirk is the receiver for the Texans.

[-] Stonewyvvern@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Nah, they are thinking of Kirk Cameron the leader of the free Christian world who also has a side job as a barista at Einstein Bros throwing coffee and bagels...

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

You tried your best, and that's what's important.

Which of them is the owner of Kirkland Signature brands? That's the one I was thinking of.

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 days ago

I was thinking of...

I was thinking Charlie meant church, and kirk meant church,

So,

Church Church.

But I looked it up...

French and English form of Carolus, the Latin form of the Germanic name Karl, which was derived from a word meaning "man" (Proto-Germanic *karlaz). However, an alternative theory states that it is derived from the common Germanic name element *harjaz meaning "army".

So,

Man Church

Or,

Army Church.

James Tiberius Kirk would throw a chair at anyone that confused him for that racist POS

A wedding planner, his blood red chocolate fountains were to die for.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

I first though this was a ST:TNG reference, ie Shaka, When the walls fell.

[-] MTZ@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Your guess is as good as mine.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

Conservative martyrs never work out because they're so sociopathic and narcissistic as a group, that nobody really cares that much about anyone else, beyond the political benefit of the initial outrage. A martyr's power is in inspiring people in the future, but conservatives don't care enough about anyone to bother to keep their memory alive.
