Whatever to keep an ending culture alive amiright? Even if it means annexing a country to get cheap shrimp because anything changing would be to much effort.

Well now I just can't get out of my head the picture of a Red Lobster fleet of pirate ships invading Greenland shouting "When we say endless we mean it" and that's completely fucking ridiculous but I guess that's what's happening? I have to say that's really Long John Silvers territory

I thought maybe we could just have one day where every single member of this administration was not a horrendous embarrassment to everything.

Today is not that day.

The like tweet quoted in the article sounds so dry it must have killed the person writing it.

One reason the US is considering acquiring Greenland is to secure access to seafood that could potentially bring back unlimited shrimp at Red Lobster. - US official to the New Yorker

Can't wait for Call of Duty game where a spec ops team is sent in to stop the evil Greenland terrorist who have shrimp families hostage. America is the only chance these shellfish have for freedom.

Fuck all of this noise, but if it was down to Greenland or the bottomless Cheddar Bay Biscuits, I might start putting on my invadin’ boots.
