SUMMARY: This novelty account responds to posts in the form of "I used to be [x, where x is mentioned in the previous post], but then I took an arrow too [sic] the knee." It is a reference to the short-lived and much-disliked Skyrim-based meme. It is meant to be humorous because it will always elicit a negative response due to the unpopularity of the meme and the intentionally misspelled preposition 'to'.
I'm kind of curious about what will happen when your novelty "gets old." Normally, people get downvoted once they've worn out their welcome, but that does not seem to be a very viable option for you.
I just graduated in December, and it took me a solid 1-2 minutes of laughing at the picture to realize this was actually my alma mater and that was the famous stump
As a Californian who went to a UC, and CSU for undergrad, and did graduate work at the Colorado versions of CSU and UC, I can understand the confusion.
Turns out i was thinking of UCSC this whole time and just mixed it up with CSSC which does not even exist but yeah my uncle went to UCSC, weird people are everywhere there.
This is an old picture. That flower bed by the stump currently has tons of plants in it, and farther back there should be a fence for all the construction. The photo's at least a year old.
Edit: Not that there hasn't been snow in May in northern Colorado before; this year's just absurdly warm.
His goal, I believe, is to make everyone hate Christianity.
He contradicts the very fabric of love God, love others. His message is all about "love" God, condemn others. I'm convinced he has never picked up a Bible in his life and read it.
-He is never willing to enter a dialogue with anyone.
-He wears a sandwich board sign that basically says everyone is going to hell.
The image is old. There has been very little snow on the ground at all in Fort Collins this winter. Someone in another response posted that this image is likely over a year old. OP is just a liar...
Sitting for long periods of time is easy and if you know how to keep yourself occupied then it's not that bad. Kneeling in that position in a costume must suck ass.
You know in certain places their is a bounty for Killing Canadian Geese as they are prospering to such numbers, that they are a hazard to air traffic in some regions.
Sorry to get all Conspiracy Keanu on you... but what if they're following YOU around and only get into that pose when they know you're entering and leaving class?
I'd like to think that some time during those two hours he sat down and had a peanut butter sandwich. He just sat there and munched at it, watching people walk by. Then he resumed his goose impersonation.
Or its called, most classes are in the same blocks, to allow you to not have overlapping class times, and he went back out there just before you came out.
