“Wait, we can’t stop here, this is Bat Country.”
A person wearing a Hawaiian shirt, a bucket hat, and sunglasses, holding a pen in between their teeth if it were a cigarette holder. Intended to be a close approximation of Hunter S Thompson.

It’s the bells!
A passage from “The Bells,” by Edgar Allen Poe: Leaping higher, higher, higher, With a desperate desire, And a resolute endeavor Now—now to sit or never, By the side of the pale-faced moon. Oh, the bells, bells, bells! What a tale their terror tells Of Despair! How they clang, and clash, and roar! What a horror they outpour

I've never felt more patriotic and ready to dump tea in a harbor than when Paul introduced the gentrified abomination he called a s'more:
Two digestives sandwiching a chocolate ganache and marshmallow filling. NOT a fucking s'more but a pretentious interpretation of one.

Eleven years ago, a poster at @redcuprebellion.bsky.social designed this for me; I printed it out and took it to College Gameday (the Katy Perry one). I want to give it to that guy, but I can't remember his name:
A woman in a blue and white striped sweater holding a large sign that says "Guardians of the Grove," featuring Rocket Raccoon and Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. In the corner is a picture of Harvey Updike, the Alabama fan who poisoned the trees at Toomers Corner at Auburn University, and an arrow pointing at him that says "WE HAVE OUR EYES ON YOU!"

Confirmation, just for you (SPOILERS for everyone else):
Text from Fannie Flagg’s ‘Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe’ p. 367: “Later that afternoon, when Grady and the two detectives from Georgia were questioning his daddy about the missing white man, Artis had nearly fainted when one of them came over and looked right in the pot. He was sure the man had seen Frank Bennett’s arm bobbing up and down among the boiling hogs. But evidently, he hadn’t, because two days later, the fat Georgia man told Big George that it was the best barbecue he had ever eaten, and asked him what his secret was. Big George smiled and said, “Thank you, suh, I’d hafto say the secrets in the sauce.“

While I believe I may have got the wrong coffee mug, I am still very happy with my graphic novel copy of @goodomenshq.bsky.social (project operated entirely by the Terry Pratchett estate).

Here’s my cat Nadja in a Taco Bell bag. I think this Halloween she’ll be a tacocat, which works backwards and forwards.

Okay, FINE:

So these posts just lined up in my feed perfectly… @racheline.bsky.social @sickoscommittee.org
Two Bluesky posts in one screenshot of a feed. The first by Racheline Maltese says “a fucking rat just ran in front of me that was the size of a goddamn beaver.” The second is from Sickos Committee and simply says “BEAAVVVVVVSSS” in reaction to a baseball play from the Oregon State Beavers.

Same show but let's acknowledge the real hero:

This is now a VERY valuable souvenir (but NOT for sale)! DEFINITELY Happy Ending! #TonyAwards #MaybeHappyEnding
Poster card from original run of “Maybe Happy Ending“ signed by all four original cast members…Darren Criss, Helen J Shen, Dez Duron and Marcus Choi. The poster has a fuchsia, mauve and purple motif, with the title in neon lettering, and the image of a helperbot charger.

Watching ’Good Night and Good Luck’ on CNN, so I can say now I’ve watched TWO Tony nominees (the other being ‘Maybe Happy Ending’)

Well thank goodness for post-grad alma maters. There’s still a chance. #SMTTT

I really, REALLY, need to get this TV mounted to the wall. Siouxsie, you’re killing me.

Yup.
A vanity license plate issued by the state of Mississippi, it says "Mississippi" at the top in purple, then to the left the head logo of a tiger with "LSU", sample numbering, then at the bottom a footer in gold that says "Geaux Tigers" in purple, bookended with spaces for Month and Year renewal stickers.
