That Hitler nastiness hits much closer to Home for our Friends in England. Whom, with a little help from their friends kicked Hitlers ass. Because Hitlers ass needed kicking. And old Adolph apparently knew it too.

Another example:

I fell down the apples.

Means I fell down the stairs.

Apples and pears = stairs in rhyme, and you drop the 'and pears' part.

I didn't have the balls to steal a pack of Lucky Strikes. In order to be cool, you had to brandish a pack rolled on your arm, but it had to be clipped.
Remember reaching over the counter at the drug store counter when the cook went to the kitchen.
Walked around cool, with balls, for a time.

in Santiago, Chile for 45 days. They are fantastic workers but when work is over they absolutely turn into animals.

They were throwing fruit from the 27th floor of our hotel trying to hit people below.

We were drinking at a bar after work and they grabbed one of our crew members, took a chair from the bar and pinned him under it on the center line of the main street by the bar with traffic whizzing by his head.

A lot of the other things they did I cannot repeat. Don't fuck with a crew of blokes from Birmingham.

After all, Boudicca is one of the great heroines in the British pantheon. Not known for her forgiving, placatory nature.

The image above is simple & direct
I can argue credibly, it is not a distortion nor an exaggeration.

And so well deserved. I would argue that this display is more effective in messaging than burning the charging stations.

We need more political mockery to knock the pegs beneath these puffed-up predators.

We know who and what you are!
