This pic must have really inspired **Placebo Target** , since half the entries are his. These two are my favorites. > [@PlaceboTarget](#): > > _“Everything is planned out. You cover me while I storm inside and get all the eggs.”_ > > _“And what does she do?”_ > > _“She’s the getaway driver.”_ > [@PlaceboTarget](#): > > _“So let me get this straight. We’re here to deal with the people who want to put your mom into the asylum for no reason. But what’s up your costume?”_ > > _“Don’t mind me. I’m not real.”_ and he did both of them. So congratulations PT, you get the honors! ---
