Yeah, I know i'm a day late from saying when I was going to make a make up pick but I always prefer to just wait until my next pick to make the two selections. It's because i'm a nice guy and absolutely no other reason.

We are going to turn our attention to the Team Children's Book category where we asked for a little assistance from the Crown Prince of the Quackverse, Thatcher Venmo. This is a book that he has thrust upon my lap and HCette's countless times even when out of season. It's the first book as a parent that I have memorized front to back and can "read without reading" so it has a special place in our house and now it will have a special place in the Quackverse.

We're proud to select... Little Blue Truck's Valentine.

817-Vrzp+tL.jpg


Little Blue Truck was on his way, delivering cards on Valentine's Day.
Blue felt happy for truth to tell he hoped he'd get some cards as well.

Blue drove into Hen's front yard with a polka-dot, egg-shaped Valentine's card.
Blue said "Beep!" and Hen said "Cluck!"
What a perfect valentine, Little Blue Truck!

Pig's pink card said, "Please be mine!" "Beep!" said Blue. Happy Valentine!
"Oink!" said Pig, a pretty pink. Just right for cards and pigs I think.

In his big red barn was big brown horse and Blue brought a big red card, of course
"Neigh" said horse. "What's this I see? A card almost as big as me!"

His card for cow had a big bouquet. "Beep!" said Blue, "Happy Valentine's Day!"
"Moo!" said cow, "What a treat! A card that's good enough to eat!"

Duck was out for a nice cool swim and Blue had a special card for him.
A heart shaped sail on a little red boat. "Quack!" said duck, "My card can float!"

Two last cards for goat and sheep with candy hearts "Beep, Beep, Beep!"
"Baaaa!" said sheep, "Sweet card, Blue"
"Maaa!" said goat, "mine is, too!"

Blue headed home and all the way he tried to be glad it was Valentine's Day.
But Valentine's Day didn't seem much fun when he didn't get cards from anyone.

His own front door was open wide. Home at last, Blue drove inside.

He couldn't believe his headlight eyes, everyone yelled "Surprise! Surprise!"

"Together now," croaked toad, "let's hear it!"
Quack it! Cluck it! Oink it! Cheer it!

"Hip hooray for a friend that's true! You're our valentine, Little Blue!"

Now time to make my actual on the clock picture.

You can go. Have to go pick up TV from daycare because they say he has pinkeye.

Good stuff.
That shit has been going around like wildfire. TV is like the 6th kid I've heard of with pink eye in the last 2 weeks. My daughter had it too. Luckily once you get the eye drops, it will basically disappear after 2 doses.

Hope the little guy is ok
Much appreciated.

We're of the belief that it's not really pink eye. He was sent home out of an "abundance of caution" because he had some gunk/crust in the corner of his eye. His eye isn't red or anything.

I reached out to my eye doctor friend and he said "if it's not red at all it's definitely not pink eye." He isn't rubbing it or anything and is acting completely normal.

He has had a clogged tear duct since he was born though so i'm thinking that might be something at play here.

Oh yeah, if it's actually pink eye you'll know. Half of his face will look like a haggard ghoul.

I felt like a real moron and terrible parent when my wife called me to pick him up. I thought that I just missed something grotesquely wrong with him this morning because I am the one that dropped him off.

Then we picked him up and neither of us thought that anything looked out of place.

There are two things about Mizzou that you probably don't know. One is that it is one of the nation's best party schools. It was regularly ranked in the top five or 10 for a long time (by Playboy and some others IIRC), so it's not just me claiming something. Still, that's a subjective thing, so who cares if anyone believes it or not. I know for a fact that it is an amazing party school, and if yours was also, congratulations.

The other thing about Mizzou is that it is stuffed to the f***ing gills with hot girls. Seriously. The only other place I have been that compares is Sweden. Even though they were absolutely everywhere, they were especially highly concentrated in Greek Town, in the sororities. I got a caddy scholarship from the Evans Scholars, and we all lived together in the ES house in Greek Town. We were a fraternity, and we competed in sports with the other fraternities, but we weren't Greek, so we existed in this weird in-between place with dorm nerds and Greeks on either side.

Our house didn't have a kitchen, so what we did for meals was work at a sorority. There were 40 of us in all, so we'd have four or five guys working meals at a certain sorority. The two sororities with the hottest girls at Mizzou were Tri Delts and Delta Gamma - this is known. I worked at Delta Gamma. And holy f***, were my eyes spoiled. It was seriously like being let in behind the curtain of some enchanted paradise. Most of them didn't interact with us that much, but they also didn't treat us like "the help" - don't get me wrong, certain girls could be snobby as f***, but collectively it wasn't like that. What they were like collectively was hot as f***. Seriously, just ridiculously so. Eye-melting stuff everywhere every day.

So each house has some kind of event every year where they raise money (I think for charity, but I can't remember). Delta Gamma's annual event is called "Anchor Splash." It had something to do with water or water sports, who knows. For each of these events the house in question puts out a t-shirt, and those things are VERY highly valued because they show your association with a certain house.

One of the girls gave me a t-shirt for the 1986 Anchor Splash. It was pink, and it ruled. Every time I wore it, it was like telling other people "this turd is worthy of a Delta Gamma girl." I cherished that f***ing thing like you wouldn't believe. I have never laundered something so carefully in my life. It's long gone now. RIP.

This isn't the same one, but it isn't terribly different from mine.

I immediately assumed you were a horrible parent :laugh:. No way he wouldn't have had a horrific eye this morning if they sent him home a few hours later with "pink eye".

Glad to hear that it was just daycare being a dummy. Your parenting skills remain elite.

For the FOG Team Queen, we are going back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe well and select QUEEN RAMONDA OF WAKANDA. As the mother of T'Challa (Black Panther), she ascended to the throne after the tragic death of both the character, and the beloved actor Chadwick Boseman.

I won't get into too many details because Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is a recent release and I don't want to spoil anything, but it's one of the best MCU Movies they've made so far in my opinion and Angela Bassett delivers an Oscar-worthy performance as Queen Ramonda.
She's a strong leader and a badass.

Arcade game: that money grabbing wind thing, because this organization bathes in money

Who's up

@Strawberry Fields

Also, look at this picture of Plats' Team Bird, Snoop Dog the Puppy (because he sometimes sits on your shoulder like a parrot)

That's a damned good dog, but you have to give me something to write in the boxes, rather than "that money grabbing wind thing."
