Some of my ancestors were from Wales. My guess is that they would have been gobsmacked over much of what we’re seeing in our world today.

If you paid that much, you are a real turkey.
BTW: I have never been to Wales. Couldn't stand all the wailing.

If you think that's outrageous, you should see the price of Christmas whales in Turkey!

Today is Festivus after all.
Time to air our grievances...

Where the hell is this "Dave Barry Urinary Review" I keep hearing about? How long must we wait? He treats the readers like peons!

@Hearing Assist… It’ll be worth the wait. I’m sure we’ll all be gobsmacked once it comes out.

Happy Festivus, I've got a LOT of problems with you people, and you're gonna hear about them!

I'm sick and tired of women that insist that men... Yada, Yada, Yada... during sex, and I'm worn out today.
It's so hard to even find!

Early this A.M. I read this as "it has reached whales."

I always thought gobsmackery originated in Wales. Of course the term has been anglicized from the original "gwwbsmghrraioighll."

Pardon me, that should have been "gllrwbsmghrrwonighill." Thank goodness for spell checkers.

The country has officially rebranded itself as Türkiye. Just in case you were confused.

My mother always told me "You keep gobsmacking that thing and you will go blind." My answer to her was always, "I will do it until I need glasses." So today I have a nice little doggie companion who goes with me everywhere. And the precious pup fetches my white cane with the red tip when we are to go for a walk. And wherever we go people say to me "What a cute seeing-eye doggy and those dark glasses sure look cool on you, man." Plus I am in a great reading group - we are reading Moby Dick (who I understand is from Wales) in braille. "The Whales in Wales are mostly in braille. "So, thbppppt to that Mom."
