The heartache of brown #LEGO.

It's an issue that's been fixed, but for awhile the dye to make the brown bricks caused the ABS plastic to become brittle.
A handful of shattered brown LEGO plates.

What kind of auction was this exactly?
An NBC News tile that shows the cover of Superman #1 with the headline "'Superman' coming breaks record at action."

This is what a gingko drop day looks like!
A building in the background and a large gingko tree growing in the courtyard. It has dropped the majority of its leaves over the last 24 hours and the ground under the tree is covered in a carpet of golden leaves.

Jeff Barnes and Lester Patel , characters on the TV show Chuck, playing in their two man band called Jeffster. Jeff plays keyboard and keytar and Lester sings. Their cover of Mr. Roboto is legendary.

Was that the follow up to this one?
Two aisle signs in a Walgreens. One says Seasonal and the other says Incontinence. But they look like one sign that says Seasonal Incontinence.

Seen at Meijer.

I think the misspelled "Due to Trump's Tariffs..."
A sign on the shelf at Meijer that says: "Due to vendor constraints, the following brands are experiencing shortages." This is followed by a list of brands and closes with: "We appreciate your patience as we work to get additional inventory as quickly as possible."

Two movies nobody would believe are by the same director:
The movie poster for A Christmas Story showing the Parker family. Directed by Bob Clark and released in 1983. The movie poster for Black Christmas showing a woman bound to a chair and with a clear plastic back around her head causing her to suffocate. Directed by Bob Clark and released in 1974. Also known as Silent Night, Deadly Night. One of the first films to use the "the call is coming from inside the house" horror movie tropes.

A single photo showing the relationship between the two images posted above.

The test pad is at the upper center of the image/upper right of the test site.

It's not possible, right now, to know which tank farm items also exploded, but the tanks directly to the left of the test pad probably did.
An aerial image of the SpaceX Massey test site. The site is roughly square and the test pad, the site of the explosion, is in the upper right of the test area. Directly to the left of the test pad are several horizontal, white tanks , along with other equipment. In the diagonally located corner (more or less) is another are more horizontal white tanks.

It's comic accurate for the character.

You’re reborn as a cartoon character. Who are you?
The Warner Bros. character Ralph Phillips. Ralph has large, almost sad eyes, reddish orange hair, and is wearing a light blue T-shirt and darker blue shorts. He is holding a piece of white chalk in his left hand. Ralph is known for expansive daydreams, especially during school, where he is easily distracted.

Not the best way to write this headline.
A headline from Block Club Chicago that reads: "Dont Fret, Local Street Art Legend Who Championed The Underdog, Dies At 36" Dont Fret is the artist's name.

You are going to go through some things if you unwrap that.
The Zuni warrior fetish from Trilogy of Terror. The fetish has black hair, dark brown skin, white eyes, a terrifying grin of a mouth full of sharp, white teeth. The idolize wears a geometrically printed wrap around its waist and has a knife in its raised right hand. Conspicuously absent is the gold chain that should be around its waist keeping the trapped warrior soul from animating the fetish and going on a killing spree. Do not try to destroy the idol or the warrior soul will be released and will possess the nearest human.

This pickle has seen things.
A jar of Mt. Olive hamburger dill pickle slices, crinkle cut. A slice with 3 small holes in it looks like a face showing shock or surprise. It is peering past the label, out of the jar. I hope it doesn't need therapy.
