lol, that's hilarious.

I get the "suggestive drizzles" but am a little confused by the "sprinkles".

There's now a permanent location in Toronto where you can get those X-rated waffles shaped like private parts that have been breaking the internet.

Members Only Waffle House finally has an official headquarters in town where you can get their penis-shaped waffles dripping with suggestive drizzles and decorated with sprinkles.

The beginning of 2022 marked the opening of their new physical storefront location at 252 Queen St. W.

The new space isn't far from where they originally popped up outside Frisaca at 592 Queen St. W. At the pop-up location, "Plain Johnsons" started at $8, and about 150 penis-shaped waffles were sold per day (the max they could keep up with).

Made with high-end ingredients like Belgian chocolate, the penis-shaped waffles are supposed to be crispy and fluffy.

The first 50 customers who visited the new Members Only spot received a take-home Polaroid with the purchase of their "member."



On the menu right now, they have their "Founding Member" and "VIP Member" for $11 each, and they're hoping to add drip coffee in the future.

"This is our first location and we are thrilled to have such an incredible and supportive community," Members Only founder Kirsty Fan tells blogTO. "Our main focus is sharing a laugh or a smile with our clients during these difficult and challenging times."

Spreading smiles during challenging times goes beyond dick jokes for Members Only, though: they'll also be donating a percentage of monthly sales at the new shop to different non-profit organizations.



They're currently open for takeout waffles from Thursday through Sunday.

I keep waiting for the stock market to collapse because of Joe Biden. But apparently reality did not get Trump's memo...[/LIST]

I have thought that the stock market was due a correction since 2014 or 2015. I don't consider 2020 to be a real correction.

I still think it, but it has been long enough that I have learned that such a view is not useful.

And I now also admit that I could very well be wrong.

Millipede with more legs than any known animal discovered in Australia

Scientists in Australia have discovered an elongated millipede with more legs than any other known animal.

The pale-coloured millipede has more than 1,300 legs in an elongated body about 95mm long.

The creature has been named Eumillipes Persephone, and was found almost 60 metres (200ft) underground in a mining region in Western Australia.

The previous record-holder was a California millipede species with 750 legs.

I think all these events happened on the same day? teacher finds note -> bring parents to school -> parents leave kid at school -> shooting & dad finds gun is missing at home

That´s how the timeline sounds to me:
Days before the fatal shooting:
- Parents buy the gun as christmas present (but likely keep it for themselves still (as it isn't christmas yet)
- Mom goes to a shooting range so her son can try out the gun
- Son googles for ammunition (parents get alarmed by the school first), mother tells (or texts) her son thet she isn't mad at him, but next time he should be careful to not get caught

Then on the day of the shooting:
- Son creates the drawing that gets noticed by the teacher
- Parents get summoned to school because of this, refuse to take their son with them back home and also don't search his backpack in order to make certain that he hasn't the gun with him
- Shooting happens
- When hearing about the shooting in the news, mom texts son, not to do it
- Likewise around this time the father checks for the gun (and maybe ammunition) and calls the police to report it missing
