I hope that clam wasn’t canned...

It's plastic, actually, but it's called a "wood block", even though it's very much not wood, or even that much of a block...

I went and played at the video, just to hear the song, but as it happens the instrument in question is shown in the first few seconds. It's something I've never seen before -- definitely shaped like a woodblock, but painted red, and hollow. Can't say for sure if it's made of wood or metal. But I'm sure you're right, and the fact that it's hollow is why I mistook it for cowbell. Might have even been designed to sort of hybridize the two. Anyway I love that song.

An anonymous group of L.A.'s FINEST musicians, the Hiplomats, fed up with Hollyweird & the vile entertainment industry perform new rock anthem for the Great Awakening, to rally faithful & red pill the rest. We made noise-BOOM!

If I may "interpret" their "breadcrumbs"...

Former hair-metal poseurs who now can't even get a job at the local In-N-Out are now putting their tin ears to use by making ("creating" is not the word I'd use here) a lame attempt at riding the Hot Conspiracy Theory of the Week train.

A lot of these same losers tried the same thing after 9/11.

Oh, crap. If my YouTube recommendations have been disturbing in the past, they're going to go completely round the bend now. Talk about following the white rabbit...

Erm... he’s kind of right. In many cities (New York, at least), I believe many of the buttons are non-functional and work entirely on timers.

Hey now. I do it because it is therapeutic! Also because it makes the heffelator go faster.

A tell-tale sign of a Trump supporter.

When traffic is narrowed to only one lane, you can be sure the Trump voters will "seize the day" and try to cut around everyone else who is cooperatively waiting in line.

This is what happens when white privilege goes to their heads.

the ones I hate are the ones who march up to an elevator and not only push the already lit up button but keep on hitting it like it will speed it up!
