Sincerely Tom Lakenen

Didn't have to even say this guy is a Yooper, where else do you find such fantastically Finnish names?

You betcha!

What!? I know and love "you betcha" (probably from Fargo, sorry) and now I need to know how to say this too.

Update: I was reading it as the word "up," but it's U.P. Off to a good start in my research so far.

Update 2: Ah, a reaction to "Say yes to Michigan." Learning a lot from these guys.

Hurray for cultural exchange, you'll be munching pasties and hanging in the sauna in no time!

What's the proper sauna attire in the U.P.? My favorite is Russia: they wear pointy wool hats and not much else.

::: spoiler Alt Text Art piece depicting a girl in a pink dress sitting on a green hill. A small brown puppy is at her feet.

Donald Trump stands in front of her, face orange and hair yellow.

Trump: Hey little girl, want some candy?

A 1% figure with curly shoes and a face stands on a pedestal next to, and above Trump. It holds a sign and points at the little girl.

At the waist of 1% another sign reads: Dec. 20, 2017.

The sign in 1%’s hand reads:

  • Lunch $
  • Family Vacation
  • Dream of Owning My Own Home
  • Healthcare
  • Infrastructure
  • Middle Class

1%: Take off your shoes, I want them too!

The base of the art piece is two cut I-beams, painted white.

There is another sign screwed to a wooden post that reads:

5-26-26

Disclaimer:

To the MAGA crowd and anyone disliking my attempt at humor with the Orange Jesus, I honestly dislike it also.

I will be happy when the day comes that I can bring this to the scrap yard and never have to see this treasonous lying thieving pedophile ever again, have a great day! Sincerely Tom Lakenen

The text was a pain to read, so I figured I wouldn’t be the only one struggling

Indeed, thank you. Autocorrect fucked me.

Thanks Tom! I hate it too.

This isn't even anti-trump, it's like neutral, just the basic facts ma'am trump.

Just, "Yup, that's him alright." No shock or anything left.

Sadly, you are right.

" Canes "

I would say that is so well put butt I don't want misunderstanding of the misleading purpose, so well displayed.

cough, cough

I quit smoking but still the DXM every now and then sigh.

Where does it say canes? I'm lost...

Chakravanti@multiverse.soulism.net · 1 pts · 42d (3 replies)

Top of the yellow speech bubble. First word. I know, it's damn near invisible!

athatet@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 42d

Yellow speech bubble says :

“Hey little girl, want some candy?”

Janx@piefed.social · 1 pts · 42d (1 reply)

Are you... making some sort of joke I'm missing or something? If you're referring to "candy", it's neither at the top nor the first word.

Hmmm...funknee...I definitely saw something different the first time.
