I like the Bug picture the most but the pencil in the yard is a wicked sick prank.

My dad didn’t even say anything about it! He just took it out. I really thought it was gonna blow his mind …

  I can’t believe this post has been up for five years and no one, including me, has ever noticed that. Good eyes, Peter!! I just edited it to add one and make it a full 100! And FYI I actually gave the post a makeover really recently to celebrate Pencil Day. Check it out!
