louisiana priest in 1807: well since this was a roman catholic territory, we always just designated districts based on the nearest church

louisiana lawmaker: very well. for our new state we shall draw county lines based on their proximity to churches

priest: hang on, if it’s strictly based on the churches, wouldn’t it be arbitrary to call it a county?

lawmaker:

jordan this is a grade-a post and i refuse to let it die

If your nearest Waffle House is closed,
you should probably run. Because the
24-hour chains only shut down during
absolute devastation, FEMA unofficially
determines the severity of natural
disasters by whether local Waffle
Houses remain open or not. They
call this “The Waffle House Index.” Source

I didn’t believe this, even with a source, so I Googled it. I’M SORRY I DOUBTED YOU, DID-YOU-KNO.  Oh my god, FEMA really does have a Waffle House Index. I don’t know what to do with this information.

What if there are no Waffle Houses where you live?

I love the way online culture is slowly adopting a hieroglyphic-type system of words indicated by pictures. No, I’m not talking about emojis, I’m talking about the fact that I just saw a particular red-tinted image of Barack Obama’s eyes used in a conversation and read it as the words “then perish” with no hesitation.
