Since everyone else before me is too mature:

They made it for your mom
- Yeah, she told me that you were so embarrassingly bad in bed that she had this built out of frustration. She's quite satisfied.
  
  Makes sense, your mama so fat, everything than this thing is like salami in a hallway.
- Just thought I'd share this that I had saved on my phone, 'cause it makes me laugh and is somewhat related to your comment
  
  Thanks for sharing😂
Allow me to be the first to say:
- That's a bold statement
  
  It's a .webm video of a guy saying "That's a penis."
- I love how Mac is mimicking actually looking at Doug Dimmadong's hat in this gif.

  This is a sculpture of the Gin-namazu-onari Kabuto (“Silver Catfish Tail Helmet”) loved by Toshinaga Maeda, second Lord of the Kaga Domain and founder of Takaoka. The helmet features a unique catfish tail shape. The huge helmet, which stands at 400 cm tall and weighs 400 kg, was crafted in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the establishment of Takaoka by the Takaoka Traditional Industries Youth Association, made up of young artisans in Takaoka copperware, Takaoka lacquerware, etc.
  
  Reminds me of European war swords. Massive swords, like 2 meters in length, which were far too large to actually wield.
  
  Basically the lord saying "Hey everybody, look how rich I am, I can spend money on something that's so ridiculously large that it's essentially useless"
It's for asserting dominance on the battlefield 👹
That's the helmet from the legendary Taka Ommahaka. Owner of the Osaka Tammahaka Casle.
Haha it looks like a
