This was also an iconic computer game

The front of a 90’s CD-ROM jewel case. The background depicts important places from The Odyssey in a whimsical illustrated style. Most of the foreground is taken up by the iconic Jack Russell Terrier Wishbone. The title reads “Wishbone and the Amazing Odyssey.” A bubble to the side reads “Featuring TV’s Award-Winning Dog”

Can we keep backyard ducks in ALX?? Asking for a friend and definitely not me. It’s Lee Waddles!

A screenshot from the Fairfax County, Virginia animal shelter website. It says “Meet Lee Waddles” and features a picture of a very handsome white duck. He is standing with his head turned to the camera.

A social media post from Fairfax County Animal Services. It reads: “He's charming, he's handsome, and, most importantly, he's a duck.
Lee Waddles is looking to be a part of your flock. He likes to do duck things like swimming, waddling around, and quacking. Definitely the quacking part.
Find him at our Michael R. Frey Campus!

It then features four high quality duck pics, including two pictures of a handsome white duck standing in his pen, a picture of him going through a doorway, and a picture of him chilling in a pink wading pool.

The next town over has the Temple of Eck, which started denying free tours to my friends after it became the local curiosity for nerdy teens

At this point I think plus size retailers are trying to lose sales because what is this?

A bikini top sewn to a baggy white tshirt that I’m supposed to spend real American dollars on and buy

Your last meme saved is your moral philosophy. Absolutely yes. No notes.

I’m obsessed with that picture

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

The last time they came to my door I was (inadvertently!) wearing this shirt, but with my sweatshirt covering up all but the “You can go to HELL” part:

A white tshirt with red letters that reads “YOU CAN GO TO HELL
I'M GOING TO
TOYOTATHON”

Who wore it better

I gave him the traits erratic, hot-headed and self-assured, because he can’t be wrong. He’s Beefham.

We own both these lamps with zero regrets

A small lamp shaped like a half a pear. It has two little eyes and two teeny feet sticking out of the bottom.

A white duck lamp. The duck is laying on his side and has a yellow beak, tiny black eyes, and yellow feet and legs. He’s laying on a desk, full of ennui

My sister is there right now and every night when she sends us pics/a recap of her day I want to reply with this

Three pictures of an adorable, but scowling young child. The first picture has the caption “congrats,” the second says “happy for you” and the last picture says “nice.”

My first attempt at baguettes didn’t turn out looking very “baguette-y” but I’m happy with the crust, texture and taste so I’m counting it as a win!

Two loaves of bread sitting on a cookie sheet. Both are long and thin, although not as thin as the baker intended. The loaf in the front is cut open to show the inside.

Shoot I mean the one on the right. This guy

A close up of the shell guy who is driving. He’s seen some shit, based on his expression

Jen Vestal@jenvestal· Aug 26

Specifically the one on the left

A figurine made of seashells. Two figures sit in an open top car. One is driving and has a Coors beer can. The other is holding a burger and has a Schlitz beer can. Yes these shell people are drinking and driving and my mom thought it was cute I guess

The food was good! The sushi was fresh and better than the Wagyu items. Overall the AYCE felt like a decent value for money. They also have a buffet that’s included with your price and it has like big crab legs and pre-poured Boba tea. I’d go back. Plus they gave us a little guy!

A figurine of a sushi chef with orange hair. He is smiling. He has a pair of chopsticks in one hand and a piece of sushi in the other. His headband reads “Sushi”

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you all, my community, that earlier today I pissed off a cat (by trying to enter my home)

Big day for food idiots- I just saw a well-stocked display featuring this abomination at the Foxchase Harris Teeter.
