Love me some Buzz!
The world needs a show called “Who Needs Punching This Week?” and I nominate Buzz as at least guest host.

We were just talking about this a couple days ago when some sort of conspiracy theory came up, and my husband said, “Can’t we go back to when Buzz Aldrin just punched them?” and honestly when we had that conversation I did NOT realize it was that long ago.

This is how you should deal with conspiracy theorists and Holocaust deniers. Punch them in the face, then when they get annoyed about it, tell them that they’re lying, and you never touched them.

I can’t believe that, 20 years on, conspiracist lunatics like the deserving recipient of Aldrin’s fist are in charge of one of America’s duopoly parties.

Buzz Aldrin did not actually punch anybody. That video was produced on a Hollywood soundstage, with artificial lighting and camera angles designed to make it look like he punched a moon landing denier in the face. To tell for sure, you would have to ambush him in public and ask him to swear on a bible that he punched a moon landing denier in the face.

Idiot: “you’re a liar and a coward “
Buzz: smacks him across the face
Idiot: proceeds to shut the fuck up and walks away…
Brilliant!

Buzz Aldrin continues to be the coolest person to walk the earth and points elsewhere.

Would Bart’s mind have been truly changed if Buzz had done that Bible thing? He just said that he thinks that Buzz is a liar. Not much to be done with a mosquito other than swatting it.

Well done Buzz old boy. No point in talking to an idiot when you can just bust their chops instead.

What a coincidence! Sgt Pepper taught the band to play on that very same day.
Then again, there are no coincidences…
