I actually hate insects, but these are a MUST LOVE!

[Video of venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough standing amid vegetation. On a near-horizontal branch above his head is a brown and yellow greater bird of paradise, about the size of a crow, with big floaty yellow plumage puffing out along its back.]

I was in Walmart - shopping for rocks with my mom and sister - but I kept getting distracted by the bikes. I was riding them through the store in glee so my mom told me to knock it off. That was when I found a huge pogo stick and decided to take it for a spin as well. Three of my old high school friends from marching band showed up and shouted, “Well look who we have here!” as I was pogo-sticking through the main aisle. I left immediately. When I got home, I went to my room, put on some funky music and rolled a fat blunt and smoked it out my window. When I looked outside again, my room had detatched itself from the house and was flying over a golf course and then over a jungle. I picked up my phone to snapchat my friends and tell them I was having a great time.

Noir: I need your help, can you come here?
Ham: uh, I can’t. I’m buying cloths.
Noir: all right, well hurry up and get over here.
Ham: I can’t find them…
Noir: what do you mean you can’t find them?
Ham: I can’t find them, there’s only soup.
Noir: what do you mean there’s only soup?
Ham: it means there’s only soup!
Noir: well then get out of the soup aisle!
Ham: ALRIGHT! You don’t have to shout at me!!! *walks to the next aisle*
