@DVDBits Sadly, I checked. Not for sale, buddy.


@coder_bec The real question is why the folks doing the display chose to put it in a fake bath.


@obrl_soil The non-winning stag jumper, and the lace wrap tied in knots. 😐 https://t.co/GIX0grQef4


@FCTweedie Too avant garde, as always. 💁‍♀️


RT @BRANDONWARDELL: people forget jar jar binks successfully won a senatorial campaign in-between phantom menace and attack of the clones


@Asher_Wolf I was at the Easter Show Arts Preview with @knitterjp and there was some seriously fugly sculpture and I was trying to be polite but this tipsy dude came up and literally said, “WHAT is this SHIT? That looks like a GROWTH!” and we lost it and it made my night. 😂


@HelenArmfield Awww, I should mention that 95% of it was still twee ugly crap, so you don’t need to book your flights just yet. 🙂


Frickin’ brilliant. I love this. (Bad captioning though.) https://t.co/LjuAuwgGTo


@unixbigot I think it was included, just folded up. Although if they did wait a year? THAT’D BE BRILLIANT.


@HelenArmfield Nah, a couple people identified it as being a Warhammer moonclan thing. 🤷‍♀️


RT @SydTechLeaders: Have you witnessed a great work culture turn toxic? Have you seen a leader and team turn it around and build something…
