Nice snowing ya'

You can stand off all you want, but there's not really going to be a winner here, you both get that right?

Extinguished

We can only imagine that a worse personal hell for a broken umbrella would be a final resting place next to a waterfall. Ouch.

Reader @Moodyest found this subway hawker outside the Broad and Fairmount station in Philadelphia.

What's your excuse?

Said the broken umbrella to the Wendy's cup.

Broken umbrella: "Suuuuure Ben, you had a bunch of great ideas about eyeglasses, rocking chairs, and electricity, but not one innovation to help a 'brella out?"



As you may have heard, the East Coast got a little snow today. Special thanks to reader Alyssa who had a camera handy while she braved the storm in Philadelphia.

Life less complicated

Or so someone thought.

Public shaming

It appears that the anti-littering message is still alive and well in American classrooms.

Awesome like easy-to-assemble furniture and delicious meatballs

What is? Getting our first submission from SWEDEN!

The lovely Sofie Karlsborn dropped into our inbox with this delightful montage for your enjoyment. Terrific!

We stopped for coffee, and then
Something... I just snapped.

Special thanks to Michael in Buenos Aires. Found on Marcelo T Alvear and Montevideo

Auditions

For superhero practice have been cancelled due to no one taking them seriously. No, a trash can brandishing a shield does NOT count. That is not a power. Please do not come again.

Ok, wow, so Cath emailed us 30+ photos. Someone's been hoarding!

STOP AND BRELLA LIVES
GIVE ME THE IPOD, MAN. AND
DONT CALL THE POLICE.


@Jewelsann tells us that she'd just finished a photo shoot when she and the model realized they left their prop behind. Before walking back to retrieve it, she was compelled to snap this shot. Some time later she was chatting with a Twitter friend who knew of this blog; she says the first thing she thought of was this shot.

We love hearing from new readers, and about readers thoughtful enough to talk about us! Heart. Bursting!

Thanks so much for sharing, Julie!

Brick roll'd

(Not) never gonna give you up, apparently.

Someone had a soggier commute to work than reader Steve. Great eye, and thanks!
