This was at a Walmart. Hate to say it, but maybe fear of corporate played a part?

I don’t know what protocols the bakery staff would follow for emergencies, but given all the stories about employees facing liability for interacting with shoplifters, I wonder how much fear of liability lead to inaction here.

Really tragic shit all around.

I bought Canada so I always have a Canadian supermodel girlfriend who just can’t be here right now.

I’m pretty sure Charles Foster Kane was gay, only married beards, & couldn’t come to terms with his attraction to Leland, leading to heart break…

As a fan of happy endings, I suggest:

• Citizen Kane
• The Proposal
• Grumpy Old Men

…dammit. 🫥

Well, that’s awesome. I hope to photograph a Viceroy one day, but I don’t think I’m in their current habitat.

I baby sat for a kid whose mom was a herpetologist. She showed me the line on the Viceroy’s wings, differentiating it from a Monarch, and taught me it was poisonous to predators.

Then she stuck a snapping turtle in my face, scarring me for life. She was pretty damn awesome.

Ah, very cool! Thanks! I remember the Pepper Moths lesson from bio, but guess I just never considered that butterflies may have evolved into poison production for protection.

Appreciate the info!

Huh, that’s really interesting about the butterflies. Do you know if that’s how Pipevines & Viceroys developed their poison?

I didn’t know there were poisonous butterflies until I read about Pipevines coating their clutches with poison for protection.

I found out about mushrooms the fun way.

Dishwasher Safe MeatPorks are also welcome gifts.

Unless you accidentally punt the one that makes the toilet wine… then you’ll have a mess of alch-y chickens looking for your flask & going all puke-a-potamus all over your shoes.

Use a stack of pennies to derail a train full of chemicals.

Thanks for that! Completely agree on Dog Vomit over Scrambled Eggs. Guessing that stuff does not need an appetizing name.

Would Dog Vomit Slime Mold be considered Fuligo Septica, or is it different?

I get that the Dog Vomit part is a common name or nickname, just wondering if it’s the same stuff?

But it’s ok to have a little fun when you do.

My mom & her brothers were arguing over family silverware. The older of my two uncles just took the silverware case & disappeared with it.

That year for Christmas, every immediate family received a custom made ring made from the melted silverware.

They’re not anything valuable. They look handmade & some of the pieces were outright ugly, but it worked.

We all still have that silverware & it means a lot to all of us.

To OP, completely understand you might not want jewelry made from a nazi knife, but maybe there’s an option to do something worthwhile while that melted metal, rather than just scrapping it?

If nothing else, you could encase a copy of mein kampf in the metal & have a fancy ass doorstop you can kick around.

“Is that a brick of silver holding your door open?”

“Nope. It’s a deactivated copy of that hitler book.”

Nahme I’m zeezpert nonyku. Iz time takemetothe toilet

Scrolling through my feed & my brain read this title in the key of The Bangles…

I’m sorry, cause it really is an impressive piece.

Big fan of this person, who looks like they died in the middle of birthing the three stooges…
