This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

I thought I recognized you.

From the photos on your mothers walls.

From when I visit her.

For sexual relations.

I have sex with your mother.

It also gets so upset if you see it that it dissolves itself with its tears. I love squonk

I want to give the squonk a hug.

If there isn't a minor league baseball team in Pennsylvania called the Squonks, someone needs to get on that right away.

Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins is about this creature too

Finally, my spirit animal.

There's a lot of fun cryptids in that region. Apart from the Pennsylvania White Bigfoot, there's the snallygaster and the dewayo. I think the former is because there's a lot of herons in the area, and the latter is your standard "omg a weird bear" cryptid.
