A woman who doesn’t work here anymore brought this weird smurf toy into work a couple of months ago and set it on top of the computer because apparently her kids wouldn’t stop fighting over it and I hate it every day. It sits up there taunting me with its apparent lack of spine or any normal smurf anatomy. Anyway I found out a few weeks ago her kids are about 15-17 and now I’m certain this is a highly cursed object.
you ever been so stressed that youre calm
this is my constant state
my chill is fake
“How are you so calm?!”
“I’ve passed beyond stressed, beyond hysteria, into the grey misty indifference of complete shutdown of all but emergency services in my brain.”
that snorlax .gif reminded me of one of my favorite animals ever, an elephant seal called Homer who went on a months-long rampage of car-humping destruction in a new zealand town

some highlights of homer’s odyssey:
- causing tons of property damage by attempting to fuck cars, boat trailers, trees, and trash cans (did i mention that he weighed two tons)
- he was apparently particularly attracted to red cars
- at one point, the population of Gisborne attempted to contain him by putting barriers on the boat ramp he’d been using to get on land
- his response was to wait for a swell to move the barriers, get back on shore, cross the road, and fuck a power box, cutting off the electricity to a local restaurant and the coast guard building (and presumably tasering his own dick in the process)
- accidentally offset some of the property-damage costs by bringing in busloads of japanese tourists who were at the time visiting a city a few miles over
- (there was one claim that he also squished a person who got too close to him, but i can’t find anything backing this up)
- he was later revealed to have been the same elephant seal who had previously terrorized the town of Christchurch, hundreds of miles away
- in Christchurch, he was recorded climbing a two-meter wall, breaking into a mall, and humping more cars and trash cans
- (this isn’t even the first time something like this has happened, as an elephant seal in Coromandel became a local celebrity in the 80s after coming ashore and trying to fuck cows; Humphrey was later immortalized with a fiberglass statue)
- Gisborne’s local radio station created a (now-defunct) website for him called “Homer’s Home,” complete with a forum for people to track his amorous adventures and a page where kids could send him emails of support
- just look at him

aesop’s fables are so funny because mostly they have a very clear moral outlined in the last sentence but sometimes they’re like this one where the moral is just ‘woah what the fuck? what the Fuck? get the fuck out of my house’
