This is Muffy. I’ve had Muffy since my freshman year of college, circa 100 years ago. I lost her for a while, but when I found her I discovered someone (not me) had chewed off her ears. I purchased some pink felt in a futile attempt to replace her ears, but since I lack sewing skills, as you can see that never happened. Aside from Muffy inherently looking sad, it makes me sad seeing that her little pink ears are gone
Futurama season 5 episode 2 - Jurassic Bark (specifically the montage where we find out that Fry’s dog Seymour dutifully waited for him in the same spot for 12 years after Fry got frozen - requisite sad music playing of course).
If the episode comes on I have to leave the room before the end.
The boat that my pop and brother built together before we found out my dad had brain cancer. He only got to go out on it a couple times before he died. It makes me sad because it’s not going to be around much longer.
@curtise You’re a whole country away from Mexico, so this phenomenon probably doesn’t reach near you.
Cinco de Mayo is a minor Mexican holiday that American marketers have translated into roughly the Mexican 4th of July (maybe this is like Canada Day? I’m not sure).
So every Mexican restaurant and bar (they all have bars) has special activities going on and everyone decides that they need to get hammered on two for one margaritas or dos Equis and have Mexican food.
Some of our friends wanted to do that as well. We scouted out five Mexican restaurants tonight before we found a place to have dinner. Some were shuttling customers from extra parking a half mile away. Every Mexican restaurant was packed. This poorly drawn rendition depicts me and my family attempting to park at a Mexican restaurant on this holiday.
I really wished I could have talked our friends into Asian fusion, that place was totally empty and we probably could have had the chef hang out with us. But, like the rest of our area citizens, some of us were dead set on tacos.
All that said, once we finally got around to the actual dinner, it was really quite good.
I actually wanted to do misspelled signs (well, specifically, the unnecessary apostrophe) but I was beaten to the punch on that one.
This was a hard assignment - most things that make me sad are either not tangible, or are difficult to photograph.
That said -
The flag that the army presented to me at my Dad’s interment.
When your job, nay, your very reason for being, is the pits.
(To counter-balance my first entry. Plus, because my puns are the pits, I feel a certain empathy for this device)
@curtise but everyone who knows anything is shorting tribbles and pulling back all the way into fiat. These haxors are going to bitblt their own wallets until they are all xored out. All those clicks, wasted!

@narfcake
I’m trying to eat pasta, but your k is REALLY distracting.
@PlacidPenguin So I take it you did an analysis?
@PlacidPenguin The R looks even more distracting. It’s goosing the F and looks the K with a comb over.
@heartny
It’s pretty consistent with his other attempts though.

(Day 4):
@PlacidPenguin Yep, consistently goosing and combing over.
@heartny @PlacidPenguin Soooo … are you two done analyzing my writing yet? And if not, why not?

@narfcake
I can’t analyze it unless I have a physical sample.
Until that happens, I’ll have to be content with comparing your writing from day to day.

@narfcake Nope, too much work. Kind of like cooking. And laundry.

@jksquared @narfcake Starring but skipping!
@narfcake Nope! Can’t do it.
@jksquared that was a really sad episode
Here is a list of things that make me sad:
These are the ashes of my best friend. He’s been gone for four years now and I miss him dearly every single day.
Pictures that end up on their side after uploading from my phone also make me sad. And angry.
Misspellings on public signs make me sad.
@therealjrn
@narfcake
@therealjrn BTW, that happened in Oakland, CA. Sadly, it’s not the only place it’s happened.

Dishes are my second least favorite chore, and I don’t have a dishwasher. Didn’t want to show you my laundry basket, though.
@Kawa If you keep buying more shirts, then you’ll never have to do laundry, right?

Excuse the photo, it’s raining.
Just came online. Trying to think of something to post.
I suppose I could post the envelope of a bill.
@Seeds - It’s not that my pictures are preferred for the image header, they seem to be going off the first pic of the previous day’s thread.
Although you could edit the header to display my pic from the previous day.
@PlacidPenguin I think I’ll leave the honor to the first to post a photo. if the first one isn’t a qualifying photo, I may change it to one though.
@djslack Please explain this to me
@curtise @djslack I’d love to hear too, I’m assuming it has to do with being too far from tacos on cinco de mayo

This makes me sad because it’s a constant reminder that I’ll willingly waste over $10 on junk.
Closed.
@Seeds Aww seriously?
BooURNS
Oh well.
I don’t know if congrats is the right word for this thread, but

Cryptovirusses make me sad.
@curtise I’ll let you slide in, because I believe you took it before I said closed. next time try to get it in a little before midnight.
@Seeds thanks! I’ll do better next time, gadget… Next time!

I just realized this was from yesterday, not today, so ignore this, please.
@PurplePawprints yeah, sorry, you’re behind the times. Mea culpa.
