Previously, on “I always wonder if something is a thing and it inevitably is”
I wondered if a TV saying “quack” was a thing. Then I kept seeing more and more Quacks. I took pics of them, as is tradition, but they’ve stayed on my phone forever, because I am lazy or something.
So here’s some more Quack, now officially “A Thing”:
Is this a thing? Well, Is it?
- 1

- 2

I swear I ask that almost as much as people ask “what’s that from?” whenever anyone anywhere says anything clever. (I ask it a lot, is what I’m trying to say.) According to my completely arbitrary rules that I made up on the spot, it takes three to be a meme, or a thing. One more!
Whether I obsess over it and try to find every instance is another question. The answer to that is—hopefully—no. Maybe someone else will do it for me, like with the Downtown Smiler.

But
Not pictured: The actual bands themselves (who were awesome and loud and awesomely loud), because I don’t like bringing my SLR to major/crowded shows (I also prefer to, you know, just remember those).
Also not pictured: The most delicious burrito I ever ate in my entire life. You can believe me now, for I have had many burritos in many cities.
Should have been pictured: This would have been the perfect chance to bring Travel Bot along, but I plum forgot. He lives in my camera bag. You know, the bag for the camera I don’t bring to major shows?
Or: I still see him still seeing what you did there

(Because I didn’t want to do a Note from the future this time.)

Say, that reminds me. A while back I had this great idea for a movie prequel:
“I Know What You’re Going to Do Next Summer”
Hi, I’m a lion!

| I’m a close up of texture!

|
I’m a graffito tag done in chalk!

…
I’m none of these things!

Because my camera was abducted by aliens, its counter is actually off by 5021.
So. This is not #9998:

And. This one’s actually #4979, instead of the more impressive #10,000:

The real 10,000th pic will probably be of a cat.
