In my neighborhood there is a statue of a pear.

My neighbourhood has a statue of a judge that sentenced people to hanging. I'd prefer the pear or the cow one really...

Oh, yeah. No to Hangmen. We don't want to be caught glorifying costumed super villains.

Victor von Doom must have as many statues as LW.

Cobalt Kid used to put up lots of statues of himself here on Legion World. Abin Quark used to get rid of them.

All the Silver Age statue appearances makes me smile on the rarer modern appearances such things make. Other things from comics have the same effect, like comic book gorillas and go-go checks.

Or Arm-Fall-Off Boy! Well, okay, he didn't actually appear that often in the Silver Age... but his recent reappearance had a similar effect on me.

I didn't think he'd appeared before his first parody appearance in the late '80s. Since when, hes been used as a stick to mock the Legion by people who never read the book.

Sadly, there are still instances of coins being thrown at sporting events.

Money, money, money...not so funny. Not when it's coins pelting you like hailstones.
Still "Fickles" to my friends.

Speaking of ducks. I use Duolingo to learn Dutch (and other languages). Duolingo loves using silly sentences to help you learn.
In my Dutch lesson, my Dutch man and I keep laughing about the sentences:
"Last week I read an article about the important ducks."
"I think I am being followed by a rhinoceros."
"My uncle has a world-famous mustache."

I do, after all, see them every day in central Amsterdam.
Perhaps I should rethink my trip to Mauritius later this year...

No unnecessary travel in 2020 It's for a friend's wedding. I haven't booked anything yet as nobody can say whether it will push through. We're still hopeful the coronavirus trend will reverse before then, but who knows? I do, after all, see them every day in central Amsterdam.
It's the ones you don't see that you have to worry about... I would hope I could HEAR them coming. They don't exactly seem light on their feet!

For someone who's now spent a fair bit of time in Europe, has no one told you about the Royal Rhino School of Ballet?! Just be careful, the next time you think about posting that your partner is giving you the horn. If you're lucky you'll hear the ruffle of a tutu as warning of their attack!

As long as they don't come with the dancing ostriches, flamingos and hippos. I'm not running a zoo here.
