I decided to walk home with my mobility aids because I missed the bus and tbh it was worth the heart rate increase. Ask me again tomorrow though.

Free high fantasy musician name, brought to you by absurd typesetting choices.
The cover of a book called "The Kodály Method" by Lois Chosky. The words Kodály Method are in large evenly spaced capital letters of the same height, but there is no space for the diacritical mark on the A in Kodály so they put it beside the A, making it look like an apostrophe. Because of this, it reads Koda'ly

Remember that time Zelda, her loftwing, Wolf Link, and Midna was at the birth of Christ? (The wise guys are not there yet)

Inside one of the compartments there is an amiibo of Zelda with her loftwing from Skyward Sword and Wolf Link and Midna from Twilight Princess are arranged with Mary, Joseph, the Baby Jesus, a cow, and an angel. In the next compartment, the 3 wise men figures are lined up as if looking over at the other figures

If you liked sexy donkey, you'll LOVE disassociating sheep
Two sheep from the same navity set as the donkey. They are lying down but whoever took the photo lit them in such a way as to make their snout all but disappear and so the eyes of the sheep look too far apart and extremely unfocused. The smaller of the two sheep also has its mouth slightly open but the aforementioned snout problem means it looks more like the dumb grin of a stoner than a sheep with its mouth open.

Tis the season for the sexy donkey
Pieces of a large outdoor nativity set lined up in a church sanctuary waiting to be put outside. They are large wooden cutouts of what appear to be a photograph of a smaller ceramic navity set. The photo is centred on a donkey which is lying down except for the back front leg which is bent and made to look like it's in the process of lying down, but instead it makes the donkey look like it is lounging sexily. This effect is compounded by the coquettish tilt of the donkey's head and its heavy lidded eye that looks the donkey is staring directly at you and asking you to draw it like one of your french girls

The bigot newsletter did have this on the back which made me laugh. The spectre of the Atheist's Nightmare is still with us
An ad on a glossy paper newsletter. It has a picture of two clementine fruits on it, and one still on a stem with the leaf, one with the peel cut half off so the segments show. There are also two segments from a third fruit in the front. The text beside it reads "oranges are literally presliced and you still don't believe in god?"
