I just HAD to share this.

I was outside on the patio with my brother yesterday, adding water to the hot tub (so the filter would start again, the little bastard.)

That’s when I looked down. 

And saw this… 

INSTANTLY, I ran back in the house, grabbed my phone, and began snapping pictures.

(In case you’re squinting at that photo wondering wtf is wrong with me, let me share a close-up of my discovery.)

Yeah…

Yeah…

YEAH…

We’re all seeing the same thing, here, aren’t we?  Good.

I started giggling madly, and my brother came over to see what I was doing. 

I apparently have no filter between my brain and my mouth because I pointed at the strange little ice formation and announced loudly, “It looks like a butt plug!”

(It took me a full minute to realize I should be horrified with myself, btw.)

Anyway, let’s all just ignore my absent brain/mouth filter and bask in the glory of my discovery…

For a brief moment in time on February the 10th, 2010, this glistening gift was bestowed upon the world.   Since then, the elements have destroyed this miniature marvel.  But we should all feel incredibly blessed to have been able to use the internet to share such a true miracle of nature. 

While the ice butt plug on my patio may have disappeared from the physical world,  I know that you guys, like me, will feel its mark on your heart indelibly.

*smiles winningly*

(You guys think I’m cool.  I’m sure of it.)
