Well, this is pretty niche (and profane, fair warning), but if you ever loved the HBO show “Deadwood” like me, this is your new favorite tweet:

Dan: What is it Al? The coach on the ridge? Them four mop tops?

Al: It’s the Beatles, Dan. Quartet of cunts, borne by wind and wagon from darkest Liverpool to blow their jugs here, in our fucking camp.

Johnny: Ringo’s my favorite.
