This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Some time ago some American politician used the phrase unironically. Most speculated they were referring to Latin American countries, but since the politician was a republican and correcting themselves is anathema, we'll never know.

Anyway, it's become a favorite of mine to repeat this, tongue in cheek.
