That Jim Norton is married to a biological man.



i was kinda surprised by this, but he made enough jokes over the years about it that i guess he was actually letting the veneer slip through on some of those. i saw his instagram post a woman as his wife and i thought it was a joke. at least it's somebody who committed to it.

i listened to him on Sirius for a while but dropped it around 2017 and haven't thought much of him, but the Rogan interview filled me in.

My life has now changed knowing this wonderful information.

It's a french word. It is pronounced "kwah"

Vanilla is still "vah-nil-ah" despite everyone in Louisiana saying "vah-nel-ah"

Why would a company founded in LaCrosse, WI (pronounced La-cross) suddenly pronounce the Croix as cross, when they have the St Croix (croy) indians and St Croix (also croy) river in that area?

Pretty sure that’s wrong as the website says differently and I met a head sales rep and they said croy. I say kwah cuz that’s what it is.

this post sent me down a rabbit hole

I cant stand Jim Norton's Comedy, never found him funny at al

here they are on whitney cummings podcast

Norton's "wife" is named "Nikki" and he/she/it is from Norway originally

Nikki still has his block and tackle and Jim seems to enjoy it

Norton says he is not gay, but he is not straight either

he is 56, Nikki is 26



looking at Jim Norton's Insta and it is clear that Nikki Norton is an absolute attention whore and Jim Norton is a simp

Bruxelles Street in NOLA is pronounced Brussels. Tchopotoulas is pronounced Chop a Tu Las.
Language is fun.
