Post a picture, entertain me!

Five Guys is all wrapped up in GamerGate for me, so I don’t get that.

By 'get' you mean the pun/joke? In that it's Five Shy Guys making fries?

Or do you mean that since Five Guys has previously been associated with GamerGate, you don't find it humorous as a result?

Honestly asking.

I don’t understand the joke. Are the Shy Guys a thing? I’m also inherently cautious about 4chan-types trying to stir up sh*t with a new meme based on an old offensive one. That sort of thing has happened before.

Then there’s this... the thread this came from is full of deleted messages promoting a scam site selling the shirt.

The only reference i know for Shy Guys is Mario 2. i think it's just a "this thing from mario is kinda like this restaurant thing lets mash em together" deal.

How is 5 Guys associated with Gamer Gate? I hadn't heard anything about that.

Gamergate was kicked off by Eron Gjoni’s libelous rant about Zoe Quinn, which included a false accusation that they cheated on him with five other guys. As a result, “burgers and fries” became an early gamergate meme directed at Quinn.

Ah. I was worried I would have to stop eating there thinking the restaurant was somehow involved. Thanks for the info.

Anticlockwise. Duh.

That actually reminds me... when medieval architects built stair cases, such as that, they would design them so that the people (with swords) standing above would have an advantage over the facing Upwards attackers. If you unsheathe your sword, you want plenty of room to swing it around.

So going clockwise makes you go up, therefor the picture is going down.

I am a little disappointed that article doesn’t mention Ferniehirst Castle — home of the left-handed staircase!

Yeah I think I remember that, wasn’t the guy executed for being incompetent?

According to Wikipedia, Sir Andrew Kerr of Clan Kerr was left-handed and trained all of his followers to fight left-handed. Ha!

The kid looks like someone was trying to paint George Washington as a 10 year-old.

Bodiam Castle has clockwise staircases, apart from the tower with the prison room which has a counter-clockwise staircase so that escaping prisoners (descending) are at a disadvantage.

This is rather horrible so I will spoiler it.

I think maybe the police might be interested in the contents of that person's freezer.
