A Banana Dongle Mum Port

I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard in quite a while. Via @thatwhichmatter, we have a bit of linguistic humor for the ages.

Now, take a look at what a simple anagramming will do to a map (click to embiggen):

That’s right: it went from “pedestrian” to “abso-freakin’-lutely brilliant“.

“Swearword & Ethanol”. “Snowmobile Thud”. “Scuba Horrors”. “Forge Nerd”. “Henna Lager”. Ow, my aching sides.
