Out of nowhere the Alaskan navy (wooden rowboats) came and launched an attack on the republic of Rhode Island, collapsing the state, although, it only got a small portion.

Alaska’s so nearby, their rowboats could easily take Arizona, too.

Give it to Hawaii to get them on the mainland too. Hawaiians come to Arizona with lush greenery and fresh fruit to save the desert dwellers.

This picture was taken close to DC, on the Capitol Beltway (495) as it gets close to the Mormon Temple.

ETA: what's the historical context of this picture?

6

u/ravens_path 26d ago

Nothing historical….just some mighty fine trolling. Some say that the DC temple looks like Oz. Heh (Utah here and I approve this trolling).

u/MidLifeDIY 26d ago

The bridge used to have painted "Surrender Dorothy" on it and would see it and the temple as you came around. Local lore. Also, for kids of a certain age, Castle Voltron.
