We’ve Translated This Apoplectic Irish Soccer Fan’s Rant For Those Not Fluent In Crazy-Speak
@CaptHowdy: Darling. You must understand that I’m afraid of the Irish. I know. It’s racist. I’m not proud. Unless I’m wearing jeans. And I’m not afraid when I meet an Airish gent in a pub and go fuck you you fucken cuntin fucker I will fuck you in the face you cunt and fuck your fucken sister!

@Benedick: The bangs almost cover her cleavage and sinful biceps. I kept screaming at the teevee for her to push the bangs back. Luckily thanks to being on the west coast we were able to switch over to Walking Dead 30 seconds later and missed the rest of the oscars.
@CaptHowdy: The foreground is the Dolby Theatre stage — she’s projected on a hanging screen. I would have cropped it closer, but the original is really tiny, and the enlargement is blurry enough as it is.
@Benedick: I always get those two confused…
