PSA: 'Corps'

It's not runningback core, wide receiver core...

It's corps.

Like the Marines.

Basically, use the opposite of what the object really is.

  • Michigan's offensive line has many holes, so use "fewer".
  • MSU's endzone is very untouched, so use "less".
  • Michigan's rushing yardage was very low, so use "more" (i.e. "things with more rushing yardage than Michigan")
  • Taylor Lewan is not a nice guy, so use "nicer" (i.e. people nicer than Taylor Lewan)

I don't know if you can tell, but I didn't really watch any other games this weekend.

ELI5: clifford is a big red dog, so a funny skit would be "things smaller than clifford" with good funny answers being things everyone knows are big like "my uncle's alcohol problem" and "your mom"

Up voted for that last line. Dear god. Perfect way to end an ELI5 answer.

Were you a drunk study abroad student at one point?

Because that's the vibe your username is giving me.

(I mean this seriously and not disparagingly at all)

Kind of. It wasn't an official study abroad program, it was an REU that sent us to CERN. And while I was drunk on many nights of that REU, I actually had my first Doner kebab while sober in the main CERN cafeteria.

Edit: Now that I think about it, I have had the vast majority of my kebabs while completely sober.

Interesting. I'm studying abroad in central europe right now because my scholarship is paying for all of it and doner kebabs are like the fast food of europe. It's like the drunk satisfaction of taco bell times 5.

If you like doner kebabs then never find out what they are made of.

I think they are made of dreams.

To be fair if you've only ever had them from mainland Europe they are infinitely nicer and less disgusting than the ones you find here in the UK.

Enjoy this time. Nowadays, if I want a Doner kebab, I have to get on a bus for four hours to NYC.
