I'm no 2D artist :/
Only in countries that have never put a man on the moon.
I imagine there were a lot of awkward, celebratory lunches on 24/5.
Yes, you would have to substitute one of the pictures in the grid with one of your own creation (3D render, whatever), or else you would have to do like Gas says and art it yourself.

If you really wanted to fuck with people have them all turn their head at the same time.
I have since purchased 3 more, they're a lot of fun, if time consuming.
The people that say it took them 7 hours are either lying, didn't sand any "sprew" connections down or didn't paint the exposed edges cause mine was closer to 12-13.
I'm on the phone with my mother earlier, and... at this point, you should understand that my mom is a really WHITE lady. Not like a Karen, but late-Boomer white lady who blushes at anything remotely sexual, covers her eyes at film violence, and would wash out her own mouth with soap before even thinking of uttering any kind of slur. That being said:
Mom:"So me and [her friends] had a great time at the Chris Rock and Kevin Hart show in Brooklyn [the other night]!"
Me: "Uh....huh?"
Mom: "I've always thought Chris Rock was so funny! He was great... I realized I don't know Kevin Hart's comedy that well. He had a lot of catchphrases I didn't know, but most of the audience did. I guess I can't really hang with Millennials!"
Me: "Well, ok, boomer!"
Mom: *laughs* "That is true! ...But Kevin Hart also talks really fast. And then he started to talk about...well, I prepared for that when I saw Eddie Murphy on the 'Raw' tour..."
Me: "Wait, wait, wait... you went to 'Raw'?!?"
Mom: "Yes! Your dad and I got tickets through his friend-"
Me: "...AND YOUR JUST TELLING ME THIS NOW?!?"
...I don't know what to do with this information. It's not fitting in my brain.

Are you a Thunder Rosa or a Danhausen fan?
I've seen Thunder Rosa live a coupla times!
I actually also got to see motherfucking OKADA at like literally spitting distance, in an almost empty Arena Mexico. One of the best in the world and I was the only one there popping haha.
I've got to see more Danhausen stuff, I lapsed on AEW a bit after Omega's injury, but I love me some Orange Cassidy.
I'm glad to see them doing an actual feud with Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus, as well for Orange Cassidy to start to getting more attention. We're also seeing the Dark Order get the push they deserve (even if it's mostly on Dark and Elevation right now) and I eagerly await to see more of wrestling's most friendly cult.
They broke my heart so much with the Dark Order and Adam Page storyline last year going nowhere, I don't know if I can grow to care for them again.
Just today someone posted on r/squaredcircle that EPIC video package/entrance they did with the cowboy hat shadows and I honestly got a bit depressed (after getting goosebumps all over again). That was peak AEW times for me, Danielson just arrived, The elite being goofy hateable heels. good times, good times.
Vince leaving has me watching RAW again, though D:

I live just far outside of town that I do not eat out very often. I want crappy Taco Bell Tacos, but I do not want to do a 30 mile round trip for them. I live so far out in the country that I only go to town once or twice a week. The once is to a tiny town with a diner, a dollar general, and a liquor store. To go to town I eat good TexMex, hit a great grocery store (HEB) then a great liquor store....
I used to eat out once or twice a day and eat sammiches when I got hungry. But damn my favorite place is closed when I want to be open.
As much a I love Taco Bell, I just can't drive that far for that shite.

If it helps, I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who actually thinks Taco Bell is authentic to Mexican cuisine in any way.
Oh I have.
American tourists (not all, obviously, but more than a few in my own experience) expect their tacos al pastor to come in crunchy shells and covered with cream and cheese and stuff.
Texans and especially Californians have a better idea of what a taco should be. The rest of the states tho........................................................................
It's my favourite fast food and the closest one is 4 hours round trip so we only get it now if we're heading up that way for something else.
That said I have suggested, multiple times, that we head up that way for something else when really my ultimate goal is the Taco Bell.
The homemade tacos I make are a family favorite here and in no way authentic. We don't use the hard shells, but they are not Mexican. At best, you could call them fusion. More apt would be to call them wholly American (like Orange Chicken and General Tso's).
You'll be happy to know that some of my favorite tacos have come from Frederick, Maryland.

After my shift today I got called into my manager's office. Which is across the plant, down some stairs, and through a security door. It was a "follow me" kind of thing. Along the way I joked that I hadn't been there to fuck anything up and he did not seem amused. I had been saying that I was annoyed that my boss didn't respond to my calls or texts about my paycheck. Well, he absolutely had been responding. When I sent him my text from bed that Saturday night when I was first in the throes of Covid, I accidentally BLOCKED HIS NUMBER! So he called me back right away...and it went to a voice mail that I never got. And he called twice the next day. And several times after that. And then - worried that I might be dying in the hospital - he started calling Kerri, my emergency contact. Who did not recognize the number so she didn't answer.
So I get back to work yesterday not knowing any of this and joking around, meanwhile, he's stewing over the fact that I blew him off for two weeks. He thought I was upset about not being able to use my vacation for the covid week or was dead or was quitting. And then I just show up like nothing happened.
It turned out okay because we both realized it was a mistake. So we're cool. Still, both of us were really confused about the actions and intentions of the other.

SERIOUSLY! I started making a high pitched noise around halfway through the post that rose in volume until my dog came running all confused.

George Jetson's birthday is tomorrow.
Hey, so a little brewery in Cold Lake has switched back to using the logo my grandpa made for them in the 70s (he died in 75, well before I was born). They even give him an acknowledgement which is pretty rad. He's a bit of a local legend, having done a ton of art all over town that still exists today. One of the best Christmas gifts my mom ever gave me was a book full of his sketches and cartoons, most of which are anti-cop which makes me laugh every time. Who woulda thunk a Metis dude fresh off the reserve would have an issue with cops.
