Why does Anthrax's Scott Ian have his own, dedicated merchandise store?

I'd have thought the store for Anthrax as a whole would have been enough...

I see that Lemon, even after Brexit, continues to think that England uses the euro.

Also "Galaxy Brain", "Shitty Metal Lyrics", "That's  not how that works", and do we have a tag for shitty science?

As a Brit, I resent Lemon’s implications that this man was British. We don’t have aliens over here. This is the land of the perverts, not the land of the greys.

David Icke begs to differ.

is the implication here that i'm an alien-human hybrid? because i'm very okay with that.

it would explain a lot, actually.

It's sort of a recurring theme in crank conspiracy theories that the shadowy perpetrators have a paradoxical level of competence. In so many of these narratives the Powers That Be are able to pull off ridiculously wide-scale levels of control and subterfuge, but are weirdly incompetent in some very specific, simple way: Mind control rays being thwarted by tinfoil, Illuminati agents who compulsively implant secret Illuminati hand-signs into everything they do, evil Xtian prayer warriors whose prayer bombs are thwarted by plastic children's toys, etc.

With that in mind, this one is refreshing in that the aliens being big, stupid dumb-dumbs who have no idea what they're doing is explicitly part of the conspiracy narrative! It makes total sense that aliens who are so bad at their jobs that they've accidentally rendered themselves sterile and keep accidentally giving people autism wouldn't be able to work around people wearing a plastic bag on their heads or keeping things in locked cabinets even after over a decade of study!

EDIT: Additional tag suggestions: "Everyone is Out to Get You Motherfucker", "Misguided DUI", "golgafrincham", "Abductions", "You are under psychic attack", "Somehow Not a Blue Öyster Cult song"

"Professional autist"

Shit. All these years I've only been an autist for exposure.

Id like to know if thi is a matter of people already being alien enthusiasts/beleivers adn trying to use autism to prove the presence and interaction of aliens, or if these are people who are fixated on autism and will use any explanation other than one supported by a traditional authority figures or informational sources.

Boots, why can't we use hockey tape? You can't just throw something like that in there and not explain it.

Ok real response! I feel infinitely less embarrassed by any time i've tried to force jokes that are actually not jokes thanks to this little bit of Lemon's at the end.

So thank you Lemon!

(And yes i'm aware this is not an isolated incident. This is just the most affirming.)

Oh for sure. I'm thinking specifically of the real clunkers i tell on extra credit sometimes. Feel like a fool i do! But i suppose that's the name of the game.

Never trust a man who wants to put plastic bags over kid's heads.
