SNIGLETS

I am baking a cake today. From scratch. This is because the Irish HaHa Committee apparently banned Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines from doing what they do best and I cant find any 'just add water, eggs and oil' cake mixes.
This will take all day. I'll tell you about it tomorrow if the cake doesn't render the entire family uncommunicative.

So for today, I give you just a few of the SNIGLETs I was able to find on the internet. Apparently they were first coined by a comedian named Rich Hall who then wrote a book about singlets so some of these are his and some are probably from other people.
Some of them are hysterical because you realize how much we needed a name for them.
