Oh, thank heavens– I tried to read Bug very early this AM and it wasn’t here! Just a blank website! My life was meaningless!
Anyway…. It’s so ubiquitous that I can’t find who said it first, but someone has to say it first here: “They laughed at the Wright Brothers. They also laughed at the Marx Brothers.”
Dont forget Tycho Brahe, the Danish astronomer well known for his (often drunken) antics, he lost his nose in a mock duel over whether or not 2+2 could equal 5, he got his friend’s pet moose drunk and it had to be euthanised after it broke its legs going down stairs, and he died in a drinking contest. Yet the measurements he made of astronomical features are incredibly accurate, all the more amazing since he made them without a telescope.
I hate to knit-pick, but it was actually Nicholaus Coppernicus (spelling?) who came up with the heliocentric view which states that the earth revolves around the sun.
What was that cowboy doing with the rubber ducky tube?
AH I would like to make an ass out of myself more now
“History Will Vindicate Me.”
- Martin Van Buren (it didn’t.)
Who’s that?

Depends on how Assy you were, you may either face assimilation or live as a hermit.
Ha! Ass-imilation!

I KNOW! I had to go to work Bugless….
the smoldering crater was starting to Bug me, thank God! Or Adam, rather.
Is that a tucker Max reference at the beginning?
“They all laughed at Christopher Columbus, when he said the world was round.”
Who’s got the last laugh now? Adam!
First panel on a t-shirt = win
Or just the drunken cowboy’s phrasing on a shirt would be a win too.

*nitpick
Refers to the picking of nits (Lice eggs) from individual hairs, a process that requires much attention to detail.
So when is the ass kissing?
