We earthlings insist on building our abodes in defiance of nature, and nature patiently awaits the last word. Here's a retaining wall out in California that will soon be a thing of the past.
They aren't strictly lovebirds, but Scarlet Macaws, mated for life and dressed to the nines!
Wonderful things can happen in a supermarket when the meat department comes up with an idea and the produce department goes along with it. Beef roses! "If music be the food of love, play on!" - Shakespeare
If you've followed the works of Dr. Robert Underdunk "Bob" Terwilliger Jr., PhD, also known as "Sideshow Bob" on The Simpsons, you probably said what I said when you saw this: "Hello, Bart!" 
There will always be a Texas.
In the early 60s when the US played nuclear brinksmanship with the Russians, fallout shelters were set up in school basements and former storage rooms in post offices and other government buildings, the plan being that we would all spend the last few moments of Armageddon huddled with the people from up the street, listlessly spooning canned fruit salad down our necks. No, thanks.
On the other hand, during World War II, when London was actually blitzed by German bombs, people took shelter in underground tunnels and were quite glad to have a place to go. I'm pretty sure none of them whinged about mandates.
This sad fellow probably spent many years and many thousands of dollars restoring his 1956 Chevrolet, but the immutable laws of physics are such that when two objects collide, a 1956 sedan will crumple just like a 2022. 
Someone will have to explain why someone would put a plastic Hair-Hill atop their head. I don't get the point of teasing one's hair. It will just get mad!
I wonder if she has "gherkins" on her shopping list this week.
