An underrated horse fact is that if you have horse that is both A. Not stupid and B. Likes you, it will actively try to prevent you from falling to your doom when you fuck up as a rider. Like actually make an effort not to drop you like a cell phone. I think horses deserve more credit for that.

We had a horse named Ed who always, always did his darndest to make sure my mom stayed on his back. We joked it was because he knew who paid his bills.

Me? Oh, he’d dump me, but only when it was my fault anyway. Leaning too far forward? Over his head I’d go, and he’d just stand there looking down at me on the ground with a “you deserved that” air about him. But on one memorable occasion I got popped out of the saddle after jumping a liverpool, like fully laying on his shoulders and neck. He kept me on, but paraded around the arena to show off my embarrassing position to the no less than 12 people that happened to be around that day. They were all laughing too hard to stop him or help me. To be fair, I was laughing, too, which did not make my goal any easier. Finally I managed it, and Ed got a big juicy apple later in thanks.

(Man, I miss that horse. We sold him when I went to college. I should go visit him sometime.)

I didn't realize how disgusting light bulbs were till I had to dump THOUSANDS of them into a gaylord. I am now dingey and smell like grandmas ashes

Pardon me?

i forgor not everyone knows what gaylords r but it's these big bitches watermelons and shit come in, we use em to store paint and bulbs lmao

You mean a box???

I work in a warehouse and have to deal with these all the time. They’re called gaylords because they were popularized by a company called Gaylord iirc. You get used to calling them gaylords but every so often you say it to a person who doesn’t know and it hits you.

One time at work, I texted my boss about an order of them that came in by saying “there’s a 1400lb gaylord in the warehouse. besides me, of course.”

its always fun when we get new ppl at work that get whiplash when they hear us scream across the shop for three gaylords

i … did not know that

hot tip! if you ever find yourself googling gloryhole in order find a picture to show someone else what it looks like (pictured below btw), REMEMBER TO TACK ON GLASSBLOWING AT THE END

On a similar note: Make sure that you specify you’re talking about the computer science when you refer to CNC, and specify the psychiatric practice when you refer to CBT.

Here’s the actual image! It’s so much more impressive when you can see the individual emojis 👀

I was like “no way in hell” until I zoomed in like an inch and let out an audible “aah-!” in distress. This is really cool but also Nope.

Someone pointed out that the font on the government’s letter about the quarantine looked familiar, and now I can’t stop thinking about it.
