Funny Pictures Thread. It begins again

You ever been to the panhandle?

Well, obviously not, you wouldn't have asked that question if you had.

The geographical area of the Texas Panhandle is known as the "Llano Estacado," which is spanish for "Holy shit it's unpleasant here." Part tundra, part desert, part rock formation, this area has all of the bad aspects of Texas with few of the good ones. The only reason it has human habitation at all is because people trying to get from DFW to New Mexico or Colorado ran out of gas, and the shantytown they were forced to found to survive was named "Amarillo" because ol' Toothless Jed saw an Armadillo and got excited enough to shout about it at the exact moment that they were trying to come up with a name. Thus, the city became the gas-and-potty stop between the Metroplex and the rocky mountains, allowing thousands of other, more fortunate Texans to successfully have skiing vacations.
And since there was already a place there that would be of absolutely no loss to anyone if it were obliterated, that's where they put a bunch of ICBM silos.

*edit* I beat gas with the post, but he formatted his correctly. So I'm leaving this up as a shrine to my shame.

Dave - you have to use the full album code if you want to do that. Just the gallery URL doesn't cut it.









Oh god dammit.
 
This needs an Indiana Jonesifying.
Or maybe a The Prisonering. I'm conflicted.

Gifs are pictures. If I want to put it in the pictures thread I will.
Those of us forced to run old versions of Chrome thank you. You crapped out my work pc twice with this thread. I know enough to avoid visiting the gif thread here with this browser but sudden but inevitable gifs elsewhere...oy. Even typing this, I have to wait over a minute to see the text appear.

Spoilered the gif.

Spoilered the gif.
Unfortunately, they changed how spoilers work a few versions ago so that they no longer delay/prevent the loading of the spoilered asset. Spoilering videos and gifs no longer gives a performance boost, sadly :(
