Man from MK posts about roads.
I do like this rather a little too much

I am confused by that.

The first face is an image meme which usually reads "Me gusta"
The last is similar, which usually reads "Forever alone"

If I have to explain the joke further I despair of you.

Ah, with you now
I was previously oblivious to that meme.

Oh, 4chan.
They're from a similar meme family as trollface and FFFFFFFUUUUUUUU-

To be honest, I'm oblivious to most of 4chan.
Though I believe this was taken from there:

HA!
The shoebill is possibly the funniest bird in existence. And that has to be the best photo of one I've ever seen.

I think I once posted it on Charms' wall after a particularly badly behaved night.
On my totally-not-gap-yah-but-quite-gap-yah-ish trip, our South African guide kept pointing out these birds he called what we thought were "wombles". We got very excited.

Turned out they were hornbills -facepalm-

...then just chundered everywha!
You realise that's now got me sitting at my desk trying to say "womble" and "hornbill" in a South African accent.

So did you see a shoebill while you were out there? Did it gaze upon you judgementally?

I don't think so
As mentioned below, I saw ostriches. Also rock dassies, who are adorable and I think related to elephants, chavvy two-tone birds, and I'll recount my elephant story at some point.

Oh, and the standard rhino giraffe sort of thing.

Is the rock dassie also known as a hyrax by any chance?
And did the elephant stick her trunk up her own anus à la Carla?
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 8 Feb 2011, 10:47, Reply)

Yes, they are.
I remember discussing them with the mighty badger a while ago.

The elephant story will probably require my amazing story telling abilities, it has actions and everything.

Now this sounds like a performance worth seeing.
(Probably better than my "elephant story involving actions" at any rate)

I've not seen that, but I have absolutely no desire to.
Oh shit, you're unfolding your pockets, what are you doi-

I love that pic
This is possibly my favourite TOAP though

Well, either that, or this one

Nope, the second one's good, but "hair is a bird" is a clear winner, I think
