A lot of these ancient weird memes were photos from GISHWHES.
Never knew about this. Shame it ended, I would like to participate.
I have a feeling it will come back. Misha has been dropping hints for a while. If it does and you decide to join, be sure to join up with a local group or drag your family and friends into it - it's way more fun with a big group of people.
Or even just “some influencer did this entirely for likes.”
Obviously the thing that makes least sense in the image is Darth Vader visiting the beach. All that coarse sand, it gets everywhere!
He doesn't like it!
Damn, I remember when this was first “going viral”
This makes perfect sense. Darth Vader just wants some high quality H2O.
He's literally from a desert planet and his family farmed moisture. I guess you never really get used to the abundance of water...
Thanks for a genuine laugh!
The dark side of going to the beach
I miss this time in my life!
I set this as desktop background on the navigational workstation on this ship I worked on in 2008.
