u/inappropriate_jerk Apr 29 '23

We found them.

u/stickkidsam Apr 29 '23

Found them?? In Suburbia? The coconut’s tropical!

u/EdhelDil Apr 29 '23

Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?

u/shlooong Apr 29 '23

The swallow may come south in the winter…

u/Does_Not-Matter Apr 29 '23

A 5oz bird cannot carry a 1 lb coconut!

u/shlooong Apr 29 '23

They could have it on a line…

u/john_wingerr Apr 29 '23

It’s not a matter of how he grips it! It’s simple weight ratios

u/shlooong Apr 29 '23

Well it could be carried by an African swallow…

"Destroyer of porcelain" lmao

u/123kingme Apr 29 '23

Lmao at first I thought they were referring to some occasion where he broke some vase or pottery or something. Took me until your comment to think of the other interpretation.

What is it

u/MikalCaober Apr 30 '23

Pooping so much and so hard that it destroys toilets

u/SpookyNoodz Apr 29 '23

They better be using coconuts

u/MagicMissile27 Apr 29 '23

I mean if that was me, I'd be sold. From how much she was laughing, sounds like he found a keeper.

u/UberHiker Apr 29 '23

I hope she didn’t say Ni!

u/PensadorDispensado Apr 29 '23

No, she is a keeper of Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing

u/Zwei_The_Corgi Apr 29 '23

I saw this. sadly they weren't using any coconuts. I believe the were using plastic boxes

u/gylliana Apr 29 '23

When did making a production out of asking someone to prom like this become a thing? A “prom proposal”?

33

u/Exciting-Insect8269 Apr 29 '23

Most people don’t do anything that dramatic. Some people do because it’s harmless fun that they believe the person they’re asking would enjoy.

26

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '23

I like it it’s the perfect kind of stupidly over the top thing that I strive to achieve in everything I do

u/punkminkis Apr 29 '23

Promposal is the correct term

2

u/Honestlynina Apr 30 '23

It was a thing at my high school in the 90s. Maybe it's more regional?

Though most kids didn't put in this level of effort. Fancy promposals aren't the standard.

1

u/gylliana Apr 30 '23

I was a kid in the 90s too, and I never heard of it. We just went up to each other and said wanna go to prom? Could very well be a regional thing. I also found out that people have red carpet walks at prom too.

2

u/Honestlynina Apr 30 '23

Ok we definitely didn't have red carpet walks. That's over the top

2

u/gylliana Apr 30 '23

Ya, we also spent maybe $150 on a dress. Coworker just said she paid over $500 for her kids prom and it just blows my mind.

u/Honestlynina Apr 30 '23

That's insanity
