The day was already looking promising. I touched Obama bobble-head

WTF Illustrated: Holiday Edition

One picture is worth….

So “DOOs” are a good thing? I hate to see the “DON’Ts”. Some MO state park employee got paid for this.

If you ever wanted a scale with an opinion, this one is for you. Currently the display says “UH-OH”, you must be getting heavier. If you continue [...]
