Are these actually going to be put out in Calgary? I have a friend there and I'm totally going to ask them to keep an eye out if yes

Nice collection. How long did it take you to go to all those places to get these?

I never saw a point in saving funny pictures, just like I never take pictures of fireworks.

But now all of my reaction gif links donโ€™t work any more, and when I search for memes I saw a decade ago Google has no idea what Iโ€™m talking about and shows me TikToks instead. There was a Fun Facts video where the joke was something like โ€œIf you dropped India directly on top of Utah, at least three people would die.โ€ Needed it the other day and spent over an hour unsuccessfully looking for it.

So, I guess I was wrong.

Love it. Reminds me of something I regret not doing: the parish that sponsored me through ordination was this beautiful gothic church and it had plaques everywhere and for everything. My personal favorite was the one for the air-conditioning (random plaque on a wall that said "The air conditioning of this church was given to the glory of God by [name I can't remember] in the year of our Lord [date I can't remember]"). So what I wanted to do was make a small plaque that said "This piece of gum was placed here to the glory of God..." and stick it underneath a pew near a random bit of gum and just never say anything, treating it like an Easter egg for either some curious child climbing under the pews or for when they have to restore the pews at some point.

One of my favorite IRL Easter eggs was attending a beer festival in a random park and finding a cryptid plaque for, apparently, the one island a venomous, flying, furry frog overwinters at before migrating to Nova Scotia Labrador every summer.

People just let you make plaques, don't they? It's easy to forget that. Guerilla commemoration sounds fun.

If you or someone you know contracted contagious butt disease from this bench, you may be entitled to compensation

Yeah... that's why I started saving stuff to be honest. That and the ADHD hoarding. Now I've got like 1TB of memes and funny videos.

I remember an official-looking plaque on the wall outside of a strip mall gym that said:

โ€œ100 years ago today, on this spot, nothing happened.โ€

Don't worry, I've been training my whole life for this by drinking some dihydrogen monoxide every day.

If you've been up in the dose every day you could probably bathe in the stuff now.

I really hope there's a corresponding plaque somewhere in Nova Scotia Labrador.

Oh, man. Fixed.

I donโ€™t want to get on the bad side of the Labradorians again.
