[http://orlyowl.com/](http://orlyowl.com/) As a regular over on fark, I must say that every single time that owl pop up, I’m in stiches. I don’t know why, but I haven’t gotten sick of it yet. Anyone else? ---

[QUOTE=Phatlewt] Ya Rly [/QUOTE] Damn! Too slow AGAIN. My new favourite is the bedraggled looking owl with one eye half-closed and the caption “Yur Drukn LOL” which makes me chuckle for no particular reason. ---
