dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Perfect place to put this, from a word guessing game I play. No they did not accept gooning

I'm guessing the missing words are "nogging" and "gogo"

My 16 year old son called me a "goon". I asked him if he was accusing me of being a chronic masturbator. He got upset and informed me that a "goon" is different than a gooner. So that was something

I wanna be the overly confident one. Constantly saying how I ain't afraid of some guy in a costume (I would pronounce it costoom) and if batman shows up i'd say "looks like Haloween came early this year!' Before charging at him with a tire iron and getting my ass kicked

It's tough being a gooner

No boss I wasn't being sarcastic. Just avoiding the old cognitive dissonance by not thinking about what you're saying

PW is great because you're beating up on CIA goons, I think right? I've actually yet to play it.

yeah you join the sandinistas. like not a stand-in either, albeit obviously the characters are all off the japanese anime variety

Peace Walker fucking rules. Too bad mgs5 was a cop out on every level. Ground Zeroes set up a tone that died right after the hospital sequence. V should have been fucking DARK and body double twist is crap. Nuclear equipped non aligned mercenaries being depicted as the monsters they would be and examples of similar groups in the ssme places and time as mgs5 irl, there is an easy commentary to make there. It should have been about showing fans that got in for mgs3 that Big Boss was a vile warmongering asshole.

Show me the start of this guy! That would have been so much more powerful! The end of Peace Walker was heading there and Ground Zeroes set it up so well!

It applies to all the guards in every metal gear. Those guys are all amazing henchmen. "Must be my imagination..."
