Emerald Catron — Tue, 21 May 2013 11:30:44 +0000

If you’ve never seen half of a bell pepper that looks like a face, you need to do one of two things; either A) eat more vegetables, or B) look at these pictures. Actually, it probably wouldn’t hurt to do both. And if you’re a carnivore of the “I don’t eat anything that doesn’t have [...]
