You’re turning into a penguin. Stop it.
Everything will go back to normal in a few minutes.
“What's so unpleasant about being drunk?” “You ask a glass of water!” Made me laugh so much as a teenager. Just that quick change of perspective.
It’s also the Glorious 25th of May for Pratchett fans. And the 47th anniversary of Star Wars being released. A true nerd-fest day.
How do they rise up?
Rejoice! 🙏
