To the extent he is an historical figure, it wasn’t even David who killed him, as I understand it. Rather it was an appropriation of a the valor of one of David’s own soldiers by David’s biographer/Propagandist/Deuteronomist since seemingly their own sources say that Elhanan killed him:
IN ANOTHER BATTLE WITH THE PHILISTINES AT GOB, ELHANAN SON OF JAIR THE BETHLEHEMITE KILLED GOLIATH THE GITTITE, WHO HAD A SPEAR WITH A SHAFT LIKE A WEAVER’S ROD
2 Samuel 21:19
It seems unlikely that any scribe in a Davidic regime would get away with the reverse; attributing one of King David’s most heralded victories to a lowly son of Jair.

I think if you’re a humanist, a saint is just a really good human who it is important to remember and emulate.
So I think it works.
Oh interesting, I admit I had not considered that.
Are we assuming the Wendigo just wants to trade recipes or something?
It genuinely does though gang. It’s a funny meme but it genuinely does.

It a fair and accurate criticism and it probably shouldn’t have snuck up on us like this.
You’ve got it. The more it looks like it would glow in the dark the better.
I doubt it. Vienna beef is just The Dog in a Chicago Dog for the most part.
It’s fucking beautiful, don’t apologize.
For all of my fellow Chicagoans who, like me, are seeing this with no warning or preparation, I can share support resources, and I’m here if you just need to talk about it.
Edit: for those in need of assistance.
I don’t use TikTok and wasn’t sure if this was real so I just assumed we were talking about submerging packaged frozen food in warm water.
I would say it’s the centerpiece of the punchline.
But what do I know? I’m a bear and I eat the heads off of fish.
Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport actually
Surely a truck tire has already got a hole
In fairness those things are so easy to lose if you’re a giant fat fucking dipshit.
