We discussed the sentence in linguistics class in university. I didn't remember the origin

No worries, in this time of attributing all quotes to random people. I like to attribute them correctly when I can.

If you have never seen Groucho get into full swing it is worth a watch. He had a way with a line that was like no other. The Marx brothers (Groucho, Chico, Harpo, and Zeppo) were one of the few acts that were able to make it from vaudeville to cinema.

Oh and just because someone is going to be confused about Zeppo he was the straight man and wasn't always in their films.

P.S. there was also Gummo but he never liked it and left before the transition to cinema

The Platonic Academy was founded in 387 BCE and things just developed from there.

[-] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

My thought exactly.

One is an animal commonly, yet controversially, hunted for sport.

The other is an elephant.

My thanks to all those Pacific Islanders, slamming back turkey tails so Americans can look better.

With that picture all I can think is of that guy that could hold an automatic rifle (or equivalent no idea of weapons) under his belly.
