Octopus Overlords

Since getting on nearly three years of near isolation



This is not a good thing

Thats not very long.

Three years is plenty long if it's involuntary.

Fruit Stripe gum does not last very long.

Thank you! The picture immediately gave me deja vu and I vaguely recalled it was related to candy in some way.

I used to eat (edit: er, chew) that gum. I think...I'm old.

I think the recommended single serving is 2 packs.

It tastes great...has a unique great flavor. But ya only last a few moments it seems.

Fruit Stripe is the Violet of the gum world.

I needed the same reminder. All I remembered was that it was gum.

I remember chewing it all the time. The flavors were good but tart.

I remember a commercial of the day going "Yipes!Stripes! Beechnut Gum!"
Is that the same brand or a copycat?

I just want to pinch those cheeks.......

From our local cheesesteak place.

I don't get the baby/ass picture. Usually, these are pictures where after a second or two - you realize "Ohhh, that's really someone's arm..." or something. But I'm just not seeing what it is, is it just a real ass? It doesn't really quite look like an ass either, so I must be missing something.

Look where the round thing meets/interacts with the baby.

It's a bald guy leaning over and kissing the baby but looks like someone on their stomach with ass over the baby.

Took me a while as well.
And as a follow up, one big ass aircraft

When I was a child in southern California every once in awhile I would see actual navy blimps moving up and down the coast. This would have been the mid 50s.

That did it.
He’s being kissed
Omg. How weird I couldn’t figure it out.

If it makes you feel any better, I couldn't figure that one out either.

I feel like we are brothers.
Let’s promise not to forget this moment.

If I had paint skills (and more initiative) I'd make version of the muscular arms clasping meme with Unagi, ImLawBoy, and Not Getting the Baby Butt Picture.

I did see it. Eventually. But it took a minute or two. Which club do I get to be part of?

We had a 64 and later a 69 Lamans. Sort of GTOs with a smaller engine, and I remember my dad paying just of $2000 for each one.
I still think of new car prices in that price range. Which explains why I've never bought a new car.

Ditto.

Although now that I see it, I’m wondering why he has a ring of hair around his mid section.

Fun Fact:

Peter Jackson originally wanted to make heavy use of Police music in the movie, but eventually went with the more classical score we got. But originally Wrapped Around Your Finger was sorta the One Ring’s theme song. Sauron got Every Breath You Take, Strider was So Lonely, and the Nazgûl had Spirits in the Material World. Samwise had Walking in your Footsteps, and I believe Frodo had Don’t Stand So Close to Me.

And Tom Bombadil as the Invisible Sun. But it died on the cutting room floor.
