One of several. Though the most famous equivalent to Vermin Supreme in the UK is probably Screaming Lord Such (RIP) of The Monster Raving Loony Party. He was a staple of elections in the UK for a couple of decades.

Fun fact: when Such finished ahead of the candidate for the struggling Social Liberal Democratic Party (SDLP) in a by-election, the SDLP officially and permanently shut themselves down. So Such basically caused the death of a legitimate (but failing) political party.

Another UK candidate is Lord Buckethead (of the Monster Raving Loony Party).

As a side note, there have been many one-off UK prank candidates too, like the Alfred The Chicken Party (which was advertising a new video game), and the Mongolian BBQ's A Great Place To Party (advertising a restaurant).

 

TL;DR: Thierry Henry is completely clowning Alexei Lalas in their joint post-match commentary. Humiliating Lalas is ridiculously easy. But of course King Henry is doing it with subtlety, class, and withering wit.

They did that in the beginning. But in the later seasons that went out the window and it became all "I feel a presence!" and stupid intra-team drama.

So, a Martian Congressional Republic? It does sound like something those damned dusters would pull.

What next? The denizens of the asteroid belt calling for more rights and designating an Outer Planet Alliance, while a mysterious proto-molecule wreaks havoc on the Solar System?

The first definition of 'execute' on Merrium Webster is this:

To put into effect; carry out.

Which seems very in keeping with running a software command.

I heard that the clean coal movement was a massive scam, and there's no scientific merit to it.

Holy shit, your right.

All hail our Lord and Savior Mr Clean!

What's the Lemmy community name?

[–] CapnClenchJaw@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Sound like it's her brother's ex-wife.

Yeah. A better caption for it would be:

Gen X waiting to see the snarky hellfire Gen Z will rain down on those in power.
