Caleb Can't Read

Apr 17 2023 • 1 hr 40 mins

If there were ever a superhero that could drown a man in piss and make you question why you ever called on them in the first place, Francois Rabelais would be the PeePee PooPoo Man.  (The 'P' symbol on his chest stands for 'hoPe'.)  Since Chaucer's invention of words used on Caleb Can't Read today, there was a man in the 1500's that put such a vocabulary to beautiful use... and continued to use it until he literally became a target of the Catholic Church.  That's right, the author of "Gargantua and Pantagruel" threw so many fart jokes at the page that God Himself wanted him dead.  Celebrating our 2nd anniversary, this is Francois Rabelais!
