we also have an area called Florida that for various historical reasons is pronounced floREEda

all the famous ones are bad though except the big sun at uni of oslo

i’ve just spent the evening looking at loads of munchs and having to admit that he is really good, unfortunately — he’s really good at rocks and there’s also a horse painting that absolutely bangs

a very odd looking dog with eyes very close together and a pointed tongue
