The people feared what they could not understand

Hockey glow puck was before its time

Updating the accents list! Scotland *and* Wales are now code Green. Ireland once again missed promotion and stays Yellow, along with every other nation save South Africa which we're working to boot from the league entirely. Toronto remains unlisted until I can figure out why I find it so arousing

I did no such thing, this is an original Tom of Finland

Three packages of paper towels, each advertised as having more rolls than they actually contain. 8 double rolls = 16! 6 double rolls = 12! Lies!

I wait until after to watch but same!!

Happy Taskmaster day to those who celebrate

An ad for some junk photo filter. On the left is a pencil drawing of a woman with chin-length hair, and on the right is a photo of someone who looks uncannily similar to the illustration.

Wait for it

Dabo!

Please, this dabbu table. I need it

Honestly $75 is a steal

I have no idea how this came to us, it’s like one day we opened the judaica drawer and there it was

Charming ten plagues finger puppets: lice, blood, darkness, and death of the first born!

Belated chag sameach!
