Do we do it for earthquakes or wars? Even stranger is people who discover diseases and then name it after themselves. What a nice way to be remembered. Sometimes posts are triggering - this was one - that prompt me to consult Dr Google. Had anyone died of the disease named for them?! It was an unfruitful consultation. However, it did throw up lots of fascinating articles in the general subject of disease naming. This BBC article seems typical: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-34913764 There must be a gap in the market for the syndrome - possibly fatal but yet to be proven so? - whose major symptom is participating in and enjoying this thread. A number of names suggest themselves (you know who you are...) 1 Quote

Or is it because McDonalds can't do a banana milkshake properly? It also appears from her social media photos she may be a Demon supporter? Throwing a banana milkshake at someone instead of drinking it, deserves 8 hours, if not more, in a police cell. Now as an Only Fans model, had she tipped the banana milkshake over herself, while in a state of undress, that would be an entirely different story. Edited June 26, 2024 by Redleg 3 Quote

Have we reappointed Mark Needle as head coach? As we can't win a finals game anymore or beat a Western Australia AFL club. Something weird is going on and I feel Uncle Bitter has something to do with it! 😭😞 Quote
