This guy is so intensely fucking rad I cannot process it.
As an Armenian, I would contend that Manscape's algorithm got it right.
Just fyi “Eugene” would be considered a French name already. Though they would put an accent on the ‘e’ and spell it “Eugène”. There would be no need to make it more French. It might be worth mentioning that 🤷♂️
This quote is from an Army Air Corps Psychiatrist during WW1 “We get some terribly human stuff in this work. Today I had a chap who was referred to me by the cardio-vascular people. This chap said that he wanted to get out of the flying game; he was all cut up about it; said he hated the thought he was “yellow” but flying was too much for him. He wasn’t dizzy; he wasn’t afraid of a crash; he didn’t get mixed up with the running of the motor; but when he got up there in the air he had an awful feeling that he couldn’t do it….It was pitiful to listen to him, he was haunted with the fear of flying. Well I talked to him and lef him on and got his confidence and found out that he was a sexual pervert; he is engaged to a girl and very seriously in love with her; he is very clean minded and the whole thing distresses him; he has been beaten and beaten until he has lost all confidence in himself; I showed him just what the trouble was; he has been able to just be equal to life in spite of this burden so far, but when he gets up in the air he is at once at a disadvantage and this burden which he could just shoulder and get away with in ordinary life was drowning him in these new conditions. I told him that he musn’t fight ghosts;that it was a useless for him to try to quarrel with a thing which was, after all, only natural and of which he needn’t be ashamed; that we would show him the right way to fight with ghosts, but for the present he must ignore them”
continental europe? Albanian live show when
will they have enough bunkers tho
Would LOVE to hear an episode about NCIS:Sydney its just Aukus propaganda and very very unintentionally funny
Growing up Romany in Australia, going to Europe was... wild. I'd caught some shit in Australia from morons who think brown skin equals Aboriginal or Arab but Europe was something else.
Tom has such a boner for this guy. Me too Tom. Me too
Whom among us, right
Another historical figure of African decent who needs there own movie is Abram Gannibal. Born a Central African slave at the start of the 1700s, he ended it as Imperial Russian Nobility and general. An was the great grandfather of Alexander Pushkin. Probably one of my favorite historical figures. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Petrovich_Gannibal
This guy needs a movie
It would be great if there would ever be a live show in Hamburg, if I remember correctly a quite significant part of the audience is German, and Hamburg is a Northern European transportation hub where it’s easy to get to from a lot of places
This is my travel advice for Switzerland lmao
Now I gotta watch Fly Boys again
When is Napalm preworkout hitting shelves? I’m tired of mixing my own gasoline and styrofoam cocktails for my everyday leg day
You could sell a preworkout called Napalm, easy.
