“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

Happy anniversary, Popp

Redonkulas.com, the hilarious commentary site maintained by the one and only Terrence Popp, recently celebrated its first year of making fart jokes, dick jokes, mocking various idiots, and general all-around tomfoolery with a best-of video that was almost as funny as...
