Saying Aafrica twice messes with the pacing/delivery to me. Maybe it should just say “I blessed the rains.”

Or change the set up "Have you forgotten what happened in Kenya?"

I swear if this is a rickroll

Okay, it's not a rickroll, it's pretty swell actually

Only in Kenya.

So by changing the set up to say Kenya, rather than Africa you obfuscate the punchline somewhat.

True, and you might set up for a bonus DEEZ NUTS joke, as well

making dad jokes? you better believe that's a pa-ladin.

[–] EmpathicVagrant 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Okay yep a paladin named Pa that tells dad jokes is now on my character list

Pronounce it like Aladdin

Why are they calling it Aafrica? Or is that just part of the other typos / spelling errors?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

This is likely because in the song from which this meme is riffing of of, Africa is sung with an elongated “a” like “aaaafrica”

Edit: Africa by Toto, 1:20 seconds in

That'd be pronounced like Ehfrika

Dammit, Āfrica?

[–] Omega_Man 17 points 4 months ago

I assumed because Africa doesn't exist on Toril.

D&D campaign changing the names of real places to keep the fantasy setting?

You arrive in a new town where everyone thinks they're in charge, and they each use a funny accent to assert themselves. The sign at the front gate reads "Welcome to Bosston"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Anyone else read that as Jackie Daytona?

...and from a single meme we see the great divide between Gen X/Millenials and Gen Z. Poor Toto!

[–] Klear 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Poor guy. Hope he finds his way back to Kansas.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 5 points 4 months ago

There'll be peace when he is done.

Millenial here. I genuinely like the Weezer version better. I like the heavier guitar and I'm not a huge fan of the way the synth was implemented in the original.

new plot hook for my vampire the masquerade game featuring the celetial chorus from the mage the ascension series.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

Man, I've heard this one as “I blessed the rains down in Ravnica”
