It is possible that better things than this exist. I cannot currently think of any.

The couch I don't get at all. It's sideways? Is that the joke?

Rather than taking a landscape photo they put the couch on its end. So yes.
-
Uh. Hilarious I guess.

If they took a landscape photo, it would get squashed on the phone display. They may not have intended it that way, but this actually probably works out better.

Wait, they sell Discourse?
It’s a massive embarrassment as I don’t have any discocunts in stock.
Oh, I guess not.
I'm guessing that's a site similar to The Onion. The image on the article looks like crap.

The, uh, disclaimer at the bottom of a page offers up a clue as well.

But stuff just keeps loading as I scroll! How will I ever find this "disclaimer" of which you speak?

This one is apparently wrong on the definition and translation, but more on that later.
Though, whether you refer to the language as Irish or Gaelic, it seems that craic is not native to that language:
The term crack [or craic] is ultimately derived from the Middle English *crak*, meaning "loud conversation, bragging talk".
…
Early Irish citations from the Irish Independent relate to rural Ulster: from 1950 … or from 1955 … . At this time the word was, in Ireland, associated with Ulster dialects: in 1964 linguist John Braidwood said of the term, "perhaps one of the most seemingly native Ulster words is crack … In fact the word is of English and Scots origin." …
Like many other words over the centuries, crack was borrowed into the Irish language with Gaelicized spelling craic. It has been used in Irish since at least 1968, and was popularised in the catchphrase Beidh ceol, caint agus craic againn ("Wel'' have music, chat and craic"), use by Seán Bán Breathnach for his Irish-language chatshow SBB ina Shuí, broadcaston RTÉ from 1976 to 1982. The Irish spelling was soon reborrowed into English, and is attedted in publications from the 1970s and '80s.[1]
So you see, it's not Gaelic/Irish. It's English and Scottish!

(Although it could be (and probably is, from the rest of the article) Scots, which isn't Gaelic.)

discocunt
Having seen the Discobutt™, I really don't want to know what image @Luhmann will come up with for this...
-
discocunt
There's another word for the Discopædia.
Discocunt
noun- a member of the Discourse team with an abrasive personality.
-
eeeh..... sounds to me more like something you might encounter at a disco festival....
-shudder-
that is not a good mental image! disco is dead for a reason!
-

-
Perhaps because it doesn't (yet?) have an established, citeable use in that context.
-
Discocunt
noun- a member of the Discourse team with an abrasive personality.

Then why are you putting it here?
For Belgium's sake! Do I have to do everything around here?

I thought it would take a bit more afford to effect a store.

For ■■■■■■■'s sake! Do I have to do everything around here?
There, now that it's garnered enough likes, I've standardized the styling and added some additional citations. Guess you don't have to everything. ;)

Indeed.

For the sede vacantists, it's almost true, though most of them see John XXIII or Paul VI as the first non-Catholic pope.

Maybe they are 'so faking' it.

This is a photo I took, of something that does not belong to me personally, that have been lying around for a few weeks now waiting for somebody to find a home for them.
When I noticed, my reaction was are Shoe Liners? Also,I would like the advice / comment from the Members of this illustrious Forum on whether a glass table with a wood effect laminate floor is an upgrade or a down grade. Thank you.

As putting things on a wooden table is Doing It Right™ (as I learned here in this forum), it must be a downgrade. Unless the glass is
brokenenhanced, of course.

What's a "shoe liner?"
