Saruman telling Gandalf, "Your love of the halfling's leaf has clearly slowed your mind." Response post: "never forget when saruman literally told gandalf 'you've been smoking too much weed bro'" Counter-response: "You're smoking too much weed," says the guy who got addicted to manosphere podcasts on his orb and started a fascist militia with a side hobby of deliberate environmental destruction. Started cutting down trees to own the woke elves.

Quote from Bones in the Star Trek reboot: "One tiny crack in the hull and our blood boils in 13 seconds. A solar flare might crop up, cook us in our seats. And wait till you're sitting pretty with a case of Andorian shingles. See if you're still so relaxed when your eyeballs are bleeding. Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence."

I have an ugly mug. I also have an unattractive large vessel for coffee consumption.
A large, ugly but beloved Hull mug in shades of horrible '60s brown.

This beast suddenly somehow weighs 100 lbs whenever I try to make the bed while she's on it (it's enough to hurt my janky shoulder if I try to pull the blanket when she's on it). Gravity poisoning, I guess.
A black-and-white polydactyl cow cat sprawling on the bed in MY spot, her one brain cell entirely unbothered by the toys I've piled on her.

Post you from a different era.

Me almost exactly 36 years ago today, sitting atop the Berlin Wall before it came down. (No, I can't take credit for that happening.)
Blurry-ass photo of me sitting on the Berlin Wall, though I'm fine with being incompletely perceived.

Sandwich-thrower on a roll!
Prosecution couldn't cut the mustard!
Finally got to the meat of the matter!
Jury held the cheese!
Lettuce rejoice!
I read the news with relish!
DOJ's in a real pickle!
Found not guilty of assault with a deli weapon!
From Lar DeSouza, an illustration of a long sandwich coiled up with the line DON'T BREAD ON ME, spoofing the Gadsden flag.
