Funny Pictures Thread. It begins again

Dammit, people! The map scale is your friend!
An embarrassing proportion of Americans don't even know that Canada EXISTS. And those that do think that it's a day trip from Toronto to Vancouver (and back).

You all have no high ground.
 
As Dave Barry once put it:

Most Americans are pitifully ignorant of geography. This was clearly demonstrated recently when the Gallup Organization sent its pollsters to Chicago to ask randomly selected residents if they could name at least three of the six major continents. The results were shocking: Most of the pollsters never found Chicago at all; of those who did, all but one fell into the Chicago River.

Sure we do; that's the purple mountain majesty in the song. Plenty of high ground!
 
- She didn't understand the difference between the various countries of Europe. So when we tell her that we are of Welsh-Irish blood, she's basically like "So you're English?". And then we had to explain to her why she should NEVER say that to anyone with Welsh, Irish, or Scottish blood EVER.
Um, what does any of that have to do with Europe?:problemo:

Do you know how many AMERICANS don't realize Hawaii is part of the United States?

Same as Bubble, potentially nsfw depending on where you are.
Well, you say that, but I must say, among my small cousins, the boys are much more amused by the christmas gifts that involve slime or terrible smells than the girls are.

Remember this?



All the fun of waterboarding but with artificial snot!

And remember this guy?



They actually did mix patchouli in with the plastic before molding. People who still have Stinkor kept somewhere swear he still smells awful to this day, 30 years later.
 
When I was a kid, I had all the She Ra stuff, my brother had all the He Man stuff and we just mixed them all together and played with both. Even the slime chair.

I'm so jealous. My mom veto'd the slime pit. I had to play with the neighbor kid's. And his nose was so runny he practically outproduced the bony dino skull on top of the slime pit.
 
My dad would have been a nerd if he didn't let society dictate how he should act as an adult, so to this day he lives vicariously through the gifts he gives to his children and grandchildren. ;)
 
Are we talking legally a child? Because 13 year old me would've like some genital operated toys.
And I'm reminded of those "vibrating" "magic" Harry Potter brooms which were briefly very popular amongst girls aged 12-15ish.


my brother had the He-man stuff; I had the She-Ra stuff. I didn't mind terribly, some of her stuff was way cooler.

I gotta admit, the secret main reason I wanted to watch He-man as a kid was the Sorceress.

She was a redhead under that bird-hat, you know.

I can confirm this. My friend still has his Stinkor from childhood, and that fucker still has that slight distinctive odor.

I loved the Slime Pit, but I was one of those kids that left the slime out (or the can open) one time and the stuff hardened. It was still really neat at the time, though.

Oddly enough, I remember getting it for...Mother's Day? To this day, I'm still confused about that and my parents don't remember it well enough to tell me why.

Kati had a Strawberry Shortcake back when they thought it was a good idea to make them all smell like their names. Well, once you also get a Blueberry Muffin, an Apple Dumpling, and an Orange Blossom, and you put them all in the same toybox for a while, you tend to not want to open the toy box any more since their smells were very obviously never meant to be combined. What you end up with is a toybox that smells like someone threw up some cobbler a la mode onto your brand new carpet.

I'm going to point out that I had (and still have) both of those, so @Dei 's post still stands.

Did you know opened extra slime canisters become solid blocks after about 25-30 years? Ask me how I know! :eww:

EDIT: Sorry, that should be UNOPENED. Dammit, phone.

I think we're dealing with a non-representative sampling here, however. You two are wierdoes like us. Statistical outliers. My sample group is 5 boys and 6 girls over the last 10 or 15 years :p

I was clearly objecting to your continuous misspelling of that word, and not that you called me one. :p
I'll never remember how to spell it right on the first try. Clearly when my character sheet was being created, I got an extra point in something else by taking on the quirk "cannot spell the word wierd weird."
