Yeah they actually have a physical stand near me where they sell amazing elote lol

u/Ok_Proposal8274 8d ago

Just searched the word elote and I was flabbergasted , I mean its just so obscene and wrong, but theres something primal and sensual in it that made me question myself. Needless to say ive felt something in me just POPPED

44

u/DoingCharleyWork 8d ago

That's some churched up version. It looks more like this:

elote

And is usually sold out of a cart at a park or around your neighborhood if you happen to have an elote man.

So good.

Haha gymnosperms

27

u/Fawnet 8d ago

The term gymnosperm comes from the composite word in Greek: γυμνόσπερμος (γυμνός, gymnos, 'naked' and σπέρμα, sperma, 'seed'), literally meaning 'naked seeds'.

Oh my goodness, cover your eyes Mabel

Love this! My SIL and I once drove halfway across the US with a jerk of a plant named Ralph. We got several photos of him sightseeing, but he was a heavy drinker so he more often just had his leaves wrapped around a bottle of vodka. But he wasn’t a smoker - sorry you have to put up with that…

Congrats! Any time spent on pranks that aren't mean and make you and others laugh is time well spent.

Find more shit that makes sober you laugh, no matter how silly.

Ps - depending on the age of your kid/s- googly eyes on condiments in the fridge can provide lols for a long time. They also make self-adhesive ones so you don't have to torture yourself while waiting for glue to dry.
