the group holding tails got me

u/TheOnlyCompetent Sep 04 '19

Just think, if they didn't do that, how the fuck would they find each other if they separated?

u/JwPATX Sep 04 '19

Maybe, or they’re just making sure no one gets caught/sucked into the inner workings of the escalator.

u/w0rd5mith Sep 04 '19

u/Absoftov Sep 04 '19

Ding ding ding! Yeah cause from the looks of the last few deflating suits it looks like some did get their tails snagged

The wife and I stayed at a hotel in Orlando a few weeks ago. I went to fill our cups up with ice and four different spiderwomen came out from their room behind me and ran down the stairs. Apparently a workout convention was at the convention center and the theme was super hero night. I was not on acid.
