WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

Fun fact: your southern accent is closer to how British English sounded in the 1700s than how it sounds today!

Where in the US are you from? I'm wondering if this is a highly regional thing.

They should've had a Halloween ep of Voyager where Tom Paris explains the ancient earth tradition of "trick or treat" to an incredulous Seven who says something like "that is an inefficient means of aquiring candy," & he makes a holodeck recreation of a suburb so the whole crew can trick or treat 🎃

I had no idea another Avatar was coming out this year. Do they just not do marketing anymore?

The town of Staunton.

Pronounced Stanton

And Botetourt county
Pronounced Botitot

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 1d

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Yep, did an 18 page paper in one night on the fantastic in early American literature. With sources that I found myself.

Wait are you telling me that the things you post aren’t real products but instead elaborate and carefully constructed photoshops!?

Microsoft Word: “oh hey, this document is in protected view. Are you SURE you want to print it? It might have cooties!”

Me: “for the love of god that’s why I opened it in the first place”

Anyone know how to turn this crap off?

Yeah Europeans could never fall prey to a cult leader. That’s never happened. /s

Also I know these are “non lethal” but you’ve still got to have serious balls to stand your ground while a bunch of cops fire at you. Portland Frog, we salute you.

I think it’s a pity that Corpse Bride never got the acclaim that Nightmare Before Christmas did.

There was a whole campaign at Wendy's with like secret bloody dipping sauces and a Frosty with blood (cherry) in it. Why this wasn't tied into Halloween I'll never know.
