Wouldn't you love to see what caused this sign?

^^A5^^

^^A6^^

^^A7^^

I would just like to point out that there were two people at the start of this hike.

^^A8^^

I only reposted that because of the way the lines in the graph line up with the drain.

^^A9^^

I thought it listed the flavors.

When did the National Rifle Association become such a bunch of wimps? During their convention in Texas just days after the horrific massacre at a nearby elementary school, advocates called for arming teachers and increasing police presence in classrooms. But as they say, go big or go home. The answer to bringing mass shootings in our schools to an end is right there in front of us, but no one wants to say it. So, I will. It’s time to arm the kids themselves. If the answer to gun violence is more guns, it’s really the most logical solution. Now, we have to be reasonable about this. We obviously don’t want kindergartners running around shooting each other accidentally with their tiny fingers, so we would have to establish a rational age requirement. Say, maybe 10 years old. I mean, that’s the age when kids should be familiar with guns anyway if they’re going to grow up in the USA.

You only live once – you should try to spend as much time on the computer as possible. After you die, you won’t have access to it anymore.

Wife: …careful.

PONDERABLES

I've read that most waste in grocery stores was for cosmetic reasons.

^^B1^^

SOURCE

What about my child's freedom not to be murdered?

^^B2^^

I've heard distraction arguments like that a thousand times.

^^B3^^

What's frightening is how easy it was to believe.

^^B4^^

And we all know the root cause of all our problems - Capitalism running amok.

We've given corporations who don't give a flying fuck about the people control of our government.

Think of the problems that could be solved if every business did that.

^^B6^^

Logic need not apply in this argument.

I feel like Indiana Jones every time my wife asks me to get her keys out of her purse.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT

I think I've asked this question before but got no response - what happens in the topmost loop?

^^C1^^

I'm getting a great idea for a new toy box.

^^C2^^

Well, we found the anal guy...

Not that kind of anal, silly.

You were thinking of this guy...

^^C3^^

There are three types of men: The ones who can fight, think they can fight, and know they can't fight. 

One of my favorite quotes is: If you find yourself in a fair fight, your strategy sucks.

^^C4^^

I would love to hear the mental gymnastics he would have to go through to explain that.

^^C5^^

It's a conga line. Frogs do love to dance.

^^C6^^

There was a time not too long ago that I would have bet money that every American would openly declare that they were anti-Fascist.

^^C7^^

The most wonderful thing on the internet...

I'm thinking he saw his parents using that exact same gesture.

Dollar Tree doesn't even play music. It is silent as hell in there. All you hear is the one cashier up front fighting for their life.

HBO gave me unrealistic expectations about how many women would be named Siobhan.

GET LEARNT

I have a bag full of them.

^^D1^^

I think that's a wonderful idea.

^^D2^^

I feel like "completely bald before 35" isn't on the same scale as "his heart was the size of a peppercorn".

^^D3^^

That could be used in war to interrupt enemy mobilization.

^^D4^^

If that's even real I wonder why it didn't strike the lightning rod.

^^D5^^

The stairs lead to the southern tomb of King Djoser in Saqqara, Egypt. The age of this staircase is 4800 years.

That far wall lends credence to the guy who thinks the pyramids are filled mostly with packed rubble.

^^D6^^

Anybody?

^^D7^^

See something no other person had ever seen before us.

I always keep pepper spray in my pocket in case someone tries to make small talk with me.

What was cool when you were young but isn't cool now?

THE NAUGHTY BITS

Nacho Libre (2006)

I saw that clip and wondered what they were blurring out. I thought it might be a sex toy. So I looked it up and found nothing.

^^E1^^

Can we assume she means putting a smile on his face?

Or...OR does she have a hell of a yeast infection?

^^E2^^

In use...

Youtube tutorial

^^E3^^

And remember they were not only not punished for this behavior but rewarded. What is your takeaway from that story? Also, are you cool with your child reading that?

^^E4^^

Victoria's Riflebird performs his elaborate courtship dance...

 And is rejected by an unimpressed female.

^^E5^^

Us humans do it exactly the opposite.

^^E6^^

Well, not all human females who look come hither are, in fact, feeling come hither.

And...

^^E7^^

What amazes me is the symmetry of the eyes, the alternating pattern is stunning.

^^E8^^

Can you imagine a man adorning himself?

Here would be my attempt if I were a bird...
