Bishop Troutperdaughter is out in Erie. Priest from Gbg is new bishop.

If it weren’t for Ceasar Augustus would today be the first of Sextember?

Baldrick: I’m a gormless idiot and I’ve never been invalided back to Blighty

Blackadder: that’s cause you never said “wubble”

How do the gormless rise to power? I'm guessing it is the mob ties.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Nice - all gams and gorm - ahhhhh

Alternate meaning: Gormless The absence of Gorm, first King of the Danes (C936AD)

Old Gorm is dead and gone,
Left me here to sing his song,
Pretty little girl with the red dress on,
Old Gorm is dead and gone.

[left that other site]

Amen to THAT!

A+++ that’s what lead to the #harryreidmaybeapederast on the twit yesterday. I don’t know but there are twit rumors and i presume it’s being investigated in the offchance that he is indeed a pederast.

Wow, he is articulate and awesome! We await the naming of our new Bishop, the liberal Bishop Clark is retiring. Clark got reprimanded by the Pope for allowing and attending same sex ceremonies being done by a Catholic priest in the diocese. That was many, many years ago now. I am hoping for someone like this Archbishop. A breath of fresh air is much needed in our happy slappy community.

Waking up to Blackadder is always welcome, thanks.

Gormless and rude, our president. video with his public rudeness......shows how arrogant he is, when he speaks you better listen...reminds me of when he stalked off while Gov Jan Brewer was chastising him.

[spokeshave]

Only the truly gormless require an Austrian to Ebonics dictionary

[NeoCaveman]
