Dumb Pictures

 Woof! Let's see some fun pictures.

Just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this. (dramatic pause) And totally redeem yourself! Always nice to have a memorable vehicle in your movie. For collectibles purposes.




Game of Thrones spinoff series House of The Dragon got a neat promotion display in New York. Imagine looking up and seeing this without knowing what it was all about. I imagine there were people like that, NYC has so many people in it.


MASH! I was surprised to see a figure of her in the Ross store. The Fate: Grand Order game doesn't get much merchandise at all, and Ross is utterly random with their toy selections. I play the game, and I'm not even sure where in the story she wore this outfit. She's normally in a black metal jumpsuit with a massive round shield that's as tall as she is..


This Lego set was such an unusual setup it made me laugh. Busted! That lumberjack was about to murder some endangered owls and the news team is on the case! Thanks, little kid, for jumping in front of that chainsaw. Look at how close the chainsaw is to the little kid!


Brilliant! You transfer the heat of your beverage to the waffle thing. Now you get a warm goodie, and you no longer burn your tongue on the hot liquid.


BLAM! How sad is it that I get excited when the local stores re-stock the carry baskets? Ever since New Jersey passed the no-plastic-bags laws, these always slowly disappear. Frustrated customers are just taking them out of the store, and then there's no more to use. It sounds insane, but it's really happening. Really.


Am I remembering correctly that the swirls on the tops of regular Hostess CupCakes look the same? Did they always look like baseball stitching? If... I eat four of these, do I get a "walk"?


Hahaha! I thought these were the tiny travel boxes of cereal, but they are not. They are puzzle sets. They got me!


Huh. Some maintenance people came into the apartment one day and had a camera on a hose setup, they shoved it into the wall, and turned on the shower. On the display screen, you could see water rushing out into the wall, pouring out. The pipe under the tub was cracked or something.


They did patch up the giant hole they sawed into the wall. It's not that noticeable, I say sarcastically.


Since we are on the ground level, they said they needed to crack the tile above the tub, raise the whole thing up, fix the pipe, and then replace all the tiles and junk. Sounds like a massive hassle! Just so you know, that was months ago, and nothing has happened. I guess they don't have a problem with water pouring into the wall (?) that I clearly saw on the monitor. I wonder if they fixed it through the wall behind it, without bothering us?


Remember when this guy wrote a rock song called "F___ the Police"? Now he's selling Ice Tea at Raising Cane's! Isn't life a crazy path?


For the record, I've always been a fan of Ice T. It's funny to see the two versions, Sweet Ice T and Unsweet Ice T.


Wow, the 2nd-hand Lego Store near us Andy's Brick Shop has this old Lone Ranger set for $220. They left the other sticker on it, apparently somebody got this at a Goodwill store for $3.99. The original HomeGoods sticker is on there, too. So this train has been all over! It's a reminder that you can score good deals at the Goodwill store, at least.


That's so sad! No one? Poor Philadelphia Eagles. What's the NFL policy for mental health? Does the team need therapy? Their merchandise people do.


It's been pointed out to me that the new Star Wars series called Skeleton Crew looks to be a complete rip-off of the recent Star Trek: Prodigy series. Kids find a ship, get in trouble, get the help of a single experienced grown up, there's something dangerous and mysterious on the ship... it's crazy how it seems to match up. Good luck, Star Wars, because Prodigy was an amazing show. No pressure!


About time! Lucky the Leprechaun gets a car to drive away from those kids always after his Lucky Charms!


Mommy Long Legs? Who's in charge of naming characters? Is this appropriate?


Both faucets were cracked and leaking, so I finally asked maintenance to replace them. Buh-bye old n' busted!


Hello new hotness! This had nothing to do with the pipe under the tub, but it's nice to be able to use these again without a lot of hassle.


I noticed the ad for the Lego theme park on the McDonald's placemat. I guess we are considered "close enough" to it, for this? That's neat to know.


Who put these mother f-ing snakes in the mother f-ing Lego section!? Sorry... I laughed at myself when I thought of that, when I saw this snake. Y'know, from the Snakes on a Plane movie?


Are these always going to be red? You know, because of the thing? "Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies." I guess the Light Side can have cookies, too.


If you didn't go to the event, or if this is a "fake" event, is it okay to wear a shirt for it? Is this relationship based on a lie?


Another good laugh at the term "Real Fake Gem" on this game's box. I suppose there's no other way to describe it, but it sounds silly.


A rare opportunity to taste a Rally's fry without the stuff they put on it! It wasn't bad. So you know the potato under the flavor shell is still alright, but obviously the regular fries from Rally's are better. Er... I think they call it Checker's around here, but it's also Rally's.


Oh no! Poor Optimus Prime! He was demoted to Garbage Truck? When did that happen?


Did you notice? Cute!! Grogu has the beskar chainmail shirt under his robe! No wonder he's so happy.


Sticker Bomb! Is that a thing? It should be. It looks like a lot of fun. 


Did you go vote? The place we go to vote is a school and they always use one of the kindergarten classrooms. So it's super weird going in there and seeing all the childish schoolroom decorations and then doing the super grown-up voting thing.


The fun Voting Day story is that the guy was leaving the booth in front of us, and the worker asked if they wanted the "I Voted" sticker. To which my friend replied "Of course! You can show it to Dunkin Donuts, and get a free donut today!" and ALL the workers in there were like.... "WHAT! Really!" So it was like my friend was the rock star who just gave everyone there a free donut. That was fun.


We didn't really want the donut, but the Dunkin was a super-small diversion on the way home, so why not? When we get in there, and happily ask for the free donut, the worker was like... "What? I've never heard of that." And we were shocked. "We saw on the news this morning that places were doing Voting Day promos and they said Dunkin was giving away a free donut!" As my friend was pulling out his phone to check, she said "You don't need to look it up, I'll give you a free donut. No need to bother anybody with checking on that. Not for just one silly donut. Here!" And again my friend was shocked, but with happiness. I often complain about "bad" customer service, so I should point out "amazing" customer service, too. A solid YAY to Dunkin Donuts!
