Well, the famous wardrobe was an exit to Narnia, but I don't know where these would lead to.....

"AARP! AARP!" Love that!

Fun collection this morning, and thanks for the shout out! The "Exit Here" crack me up; there is a seasonal clam shack in Seekonk MA called "Dickies Clam Shack" they always set their port-a-johns next to the parking lot exit. They DO have a sense of humor!

I can't stop thinking about that poor cat - what a way to learn a lesson.

Rade: "Dickie's Clam Shack" sounds slightly suspect in itself.

Jabblog: I hope the person filming eventually put down the camera and rescued him.

Always good to see my main man Richmond, out of hiding.

The woman with the frying pan makes me think of Mack the Knife. Titan images are super cool! Love the liquid rainbow spirit. Beautifully spooky. Maria the nun breaks bad! So great. And for some strange reason, I really dig the potato…

Ufff, son espectaculares. El gato espero que saliera bien parado. La moto que se parte en dos menudo tortazo se pega. Saludos desde España

I love them all. I love your sense of humor and the AARP made me howl.

Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.

Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. ♥

Tim: I had to look up Richmond. I thought that was a picture of a zombie, so I was surprised to find out he's an accountant (though as a former accountant myself, I can say that those two professions have more in common than you'd think). He's certainly a sharper dresser than most accountants or zombies.

Paula: It's awesome how we now have these detailed images of the other worlds of our solar system. Maria certainly doesn't look like most people's idea of a nun there. I found the potato strangely mesmerizing too.

Nuria: Gracias desde Oregon. I assume the cat did get help, since a person was there (filming).

Sandee: Thanks as always for doing these blog hops. I thought the AARP dog was pretty funny.

I, too, felt for the cat. The final GIF reminded me that I have 2,955 of them tucked away.

That's 2,955 gifs and not 2,955 cats, I hope.....

The Egyptian queen picture is my favorite. The turquoise frog on the pink rose doesn't even look real! Fun collection.

It's striking how much the modern Italian and the ancient Egyptian resemble each other.

I think the frog is real. With all the "AI" crap these days you can never be sure, but I seem to remember it being described as a specific species.
