I was muchly confused when others discussed the mermaid with the boobies....
All I can see are the boobies, since I read about the boobies before looking at the picture.
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What's cooler than a gay flamingo couple? A gay flamingo couple that adopts a baby flamingo! [link]
LONDON (AFP) - A pair of gay flamingos have adopted an abandoned chick, becoming parents after being together for six years, a British conservation organisation said Monday.
Carlos and Fernando had been desperate to start a family, even chasing other flamingos from their nests to take over their eggs at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) in Slimbridge near Bristol.
But their egg-sitting prowess made them the top choice for taking an unhatched egg under their wings when one of the Greater Flamingo nests was abandoned.
The couple, together for six years, can feed chicks by producing milk in their throats.
"Fernando and Carlos are a same sex couple who have been known to steal other flamingos' eggs by chasing them off their nest because they wanted to rear them themselves," said WWT spokeswoman Jane Waghorn.
"They were rather good at sitting on eggs and hatching them so last week, when a nest was abandoned, it seemed like a good idea to make them surrogate parents."
Gay flamingos are not uncommon, she added.
"If there aren't enough females or they don't hit it off with them, they will pair off with other males," she said.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't figure out how there's an old man at ALL.

The rock that the mermaid is sitting on is the old man's shoulders. The mermaid's right elbow is the old man's nose. The blue thingie above the mermaid's boobies is the old man's eye. The mermaid's hair wrapping around her waist defines the old man's mouth.
I saw the old man first, but once I saw the mermaid I find it difficult to see the old man.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The doctors in Greece laughed and laughed at this.
Remind me to go to Greece when I at last breed at seventy or so.

Okay, from a distance I can squint and see the old man, but after a certain point, it's nothing but mermaid boobies up in my face.

Yeah, it's still a no-go for me on the old man. Not squinting, not looking from farther away, nothing. Weird!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm with Jesse on this one.

I know, right? It's like playing that "Dirty Minds" game and not thinking about porn.
