"Speaking of whale catching".

to a shoddy rocket the space is at fault
to a shoddy dick the hair is the problem
they practically mean the same thing. i think the first one is just the censored version of the 2nd one
>>61874233
>En Svensk Tiger
This needs an explanation.
Tiger in Swedish mean both tiger and keeping silent (tiger is the present tense of tiga).
So it's both "A Swedish tiger" (hence the icon) and "A swede keeps silent".
>>61874445
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=917t87LLDa0

That dog älähtes in which the kalikka kalahtaes. :DD

>>61875147
>9gag
>>61875219

the best pears get eaten by the swine. i think it means the same
>>61875383
>"The events which are about the transpire are not related to Islam in any way, shape or form."
The events being bombing/exploding/shooting etc which usually happens after an Allah Akbar is heard

>>61875487
Assburger
KC is a better place for you

how does it feel to have understood the premise of the joke as you pointed out here
>>"The events which are about the transpire are not related to Islam in any way, shape or form."
The events being bombing/exploding/shooting etc which usually happens after an Allah Akbar is heard
I thought he was either a leftie or mudslime who implied that even though sandniggers shout allah akbar they don't really do it in the name of Islam, like a lot of westerncucks are saying
and still be stupid enough not to get it?
>>61875685
i think i have that too
>Mrtvej němec je dobrej němec

The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

Wallet kills the handsome one
