Perfect.
So here you go. A Graphic Potourri thread.
If you can’t stop laughing at it, post it.
Politically incorrect? Fuck yeah post that beech!
Trigger Alertable? As if that’s even a word, post it.
Cute kittens? Oh go ahead.

I’ll start. Truth in advertising?!?
@Mehrocco_Mole I hope not!
@JanaS not so far at least (AARP member)
Just bought my Christmas Tree from the market and the man said if i gave it plenty of light and water, he would even and come and take it away for me come January!
What a great deal and what a nice young man he was!!!
@JanaS I hear it’s really dangerous to try to burn those in the fireplace. To be safe, I recommend burning just a little bit at a time.
@2many2no
That plant can be used as an interesting flavoring or spice, can’t it?
@JanaS reminds me of my college days at CU in Boulder…
This Statement Is Offensive.
That is all.
@f00l
Is it the first statement which is offensive, or the second?
@PlacidPenguin
The first statement is offensive.
The first statement is also offended by the second statement.
this is just about the way I feel right now…
It’s pretty early, still, for me. I can only say this:
…and this:
@Shrdlu
Have you never chewed coffee beans in a desperate moment?
/image Washington Square Park
@f00l Don’t even have to be desperate to chew coffee beans. They come covered with chocolate, you know. I love those. You still need to wash them down with something. I recommend coffee.
@f00l don’t have to be desperate. I chew them to taste them, covered in chocolate and hell, why not
Now, have you ever chewed a freshly roasted cacao bean. Those are weird
@Cerridwyn
@shrdlu
Yeah, the morning in question was early summer Sunday, round sunrise. Nothing much open yet. Had been doing private bio-chem experiments all nite long. Walking home thru Washington Square Park.
For some reason had no money and had non-chocolate coffee beans. Some guys were already out playing chess. We weren’t ready to leave the park, nice morning, so we chewed on coffee beans and talked someone out of free water somehow. Or were there fountains? Trying to remember?
The chess players thought we were a bit disgusting and weird, chewing coffee beans. But - NYC - they were used to “weird”. If I remember, one of them gave us $ for coffee so we wouldn’t have walk 8 more blocks dry. I think.
Good Samaritans and good chess players.
@f00l Does instant coffee count? Military survival training. We found some C-Rats left behind by an Army group on maneuvers that had coffee crystals. As we had no water yet and fearing confiscation by the instructors, we chewed them dry. Probably the most satisfying “cup” of coffee I’ve ever had.
@connorbush
@connorbush better use some (other) mouthwash when you’re done.
@cranky1950
Trigger, live. Then Trigger, stuffed.
Offensive? Heading in the direction.
@cranky1950 Trigger alert! I get it. Maybe.
@f00l Offensive? Not even close.
@Mehrocco_Mole @cranky1950 @f00l
I know ways to make the post offensive. But I’m fighting myself.
@Mehrocco_Mole Yeah trigger alert. There was no great profound revelation or layered meaning. Just being captain obvious.
@cranky1950 For a second, I thought it was the white horse…that people always told me about riding in on…
@cranky1950
@Mehrocco_Mole
Just not into the idea of having deceased pets sent to the taxidermist.
I adore Jenny Lawson, whose Dad was a taxidermist, and who loves taxidermy. I don’t hate taxidermy - people around here have mounted game heads. Just don’t want any of my own.
@f00l
Why would people be willing to perform taxidermy on an animal but not on a human?
Although I found an interesting article about a woman who got part of her dead husband taxidermied…
@PlacidPenguin
Good question.
Pets and other animals usually have fur, feathers, or scales. So they taxidermy “better”. Skin isn’t so awesome for that. I think Lenin didn’t look so great by the time the Soviet Union broke up.
It was weird that the Soviets preserved him in the first place. Cult Of Personality Without The Personality? And who wants a human body around as a fetish object?
Trigger got the treatment because they had a profitable museum to put him in.
Pets - the idea of having the preserved body of a deceased pet around - I just wouldn’t. Creepy and disturbing. I would want the pet’s personality and bonding live, or to grieve the loss. Wouldn’t want the shell of the pet.
Game? If someone else - esp a hunter - wanted it, fine. Not something I would go out and get on my own account.
Funny thing - hunters mount their deer and elk and bears and lions. You rarely see them mount their squirrels and rabbits. Huh.
@f00l
@PlacidPenguin ever visit the Body exhibit?
@chienfou
No consent?
@f00l not sure, but since these are from China I suspect maybe not
/giphy most offensive
We need to pick this up a bit. Nobody has claimed to have been butt-hurt yet.
@Mehrocco_Mole I find that post offensive.
This will bring people out…
@Mehrocco_Mole This is a good one considering my wife’s 60 y/o Trump supporter ward mate didn’t know who Fidel was.

@Cranky1950
One of my brothers likes history (he is a good reader, not a fanatic one.)
He also played host as often as possible to his sons’ friends during their school years, and he would introduce brief history discussions as the price he and my sister-in-law charged for feeding them dinner.
His own kids didn’t volunteer answers unless the questions got abstruse, so as not to spoil the fun. These are all millennial kids.
Some of the questions:
"Who was president during WWII?“
Usually he got blank looks. If someone answered, they often guessed
"Kennedy?”
"Who were the US Allies during WWII?"
A popular very answer:
“Japan”.
He would follow by asking
"What happened at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, in December 1941?"
A popular answer:
Blank looks that sometimes went on for a while. Then:
“Oh. I guess Japan was on the other side?”
One more try.
Come on folks, I’m doing some serious trolling here.
@Mehrocco_Mole Geez like folks are gong to steal their own cows and dirt? Being strung out on meth makes it kinda tough to carjack a beatup F-150.
@Mehrocco_Mole
Crime rates include only reported crimes.
If you will kindly report all your crimes, we can the correct the second map.
(You will need to include all thought-crimes, previously reported or otherwise.)
so what’s going on with this lame ass thread anywhey?
@cranky1950
I tried to spice it up a bit. Nobody took the troll bait.
@Mehrocco_Mole
We all just had 18-24 months of practice walking away from provocative noise.
I’ve noticed that america ferraria or how the hell ever you spell it has great teeth.
/giphy trigger alert!
I think folks are afraid to post really offensive stuff, cause ya’ll like you’ins too much, and stuff. I know i ain’t gonna do it, but i keep checking back cause I think that stuff is funny.
@miko1 How’s this…
I pooped at your mom’s house.
@miko1 so did she…
I’m on my phone right now, but next time I’m on my computer I’ll go to Facebook and find all those libertarian memes I never share and post them here.
That’s what you want, right?
@katylava
Re low-level trolling
I don’t think people are in the mood to do much but shrug much right now.
@katylava @f00l
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@f00l ![][1]
Which is why we need to laugh at ourselves now more then ever.

@Thumperchick
What do they taste like?
(Burritos, not cup holders.)
@PlacidPenguin like burrito bowls, but in a tortilla.
