Jack in the Box tacos are the best tacos with their deep fry and their weird cheese and "salsa" that isn't like any actual salsa on this earth and I am right about this, fight me

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

they're coming through wardrobes, folks, and they're coming over through portals on train platforms and schoolyard walls, and by using rings of various colors, and they're saying "oh bother" and "by Jove" and they're taking over narnia folks and eating all the turkish delight, they eat the delight

I enjoy how I still don't even know what that string of words means, after umpteen years of vidding myself! It's why I quit! I hope you make 100 vids after the irresistible lure of Premiere sucks you back in! The end.

I love that the Zoology department was integral to finding text about Merlin that was otherwise invisible to the human eye.
