This is a question meriting no small amount of deliberation. Indeed, the best part of the site is the photo demonstrating what to expect when you tell your family.

Judging from the officious expressions of the grandparents, explaining that junior's skin stays secured is as grave as though mother were confessing to being a coke mule or having poisoned the beloved family cat.

And one cannot help but note the prominence of the nipples sported by our pater familias...
The prominence of his nipples shows just how insistent he is.

I'll forever wonder what context the creative team had in mind when staging this photo.

"I LIKE having freckles, mom. At my age, going foundation-free is my choice."

or

"You're adopted."

or

"But Latrelle and I are in love; c'mon-it's freakin' 2017!"

They caught her playing Cards Against Humanity with one of Panzer's custom decks.
"Sweetheart, I thought we raised you better than to shamelessly pander to the Card Czar."
 
Whatever happened to baron anyways?
Baron was put in time-out, but Cliges was referring to RB33, everyone's favorite Monarcho-Communist (who just kind of disappeared).
 
New stock image for today:

Is it a statement on an atomistic consumerism's dead end?

Wry commentary on the sinister undertones of milk?

Clever stealth promotion by the lettuce industry?
 
What I took away most of all: the Magritte influence and how just how darn well that dress pairs with the simple updo. She's really pulling off that understated style.
 
It's clearly furthering the global conspiracy to refuse bagged milk as a norm and the future.

Where can I sign up as a member of this conspiracy? I'd like to join.

He stole the game I was running and made it terrible. I won't miss him.
 
Health related sites are a gem hoard of curious illustrations, and I may have found the...tanzanite of stock imagery?

This one, from an article on post-caesarean self-care, demonstrates the pathos of constipation through a sort of triptych.

The first figure is perhaps the most enigmatic. Either the pain is such that our subject has been compelled to wink-or else she's signalling to the observer that this is an elaborate put-on. The Mona Lisa smile of postpartum health? In the middle, she's tenacious enough to maintain her modesty even in this hour of distress. This is no time to offer a glimpse of bush. The sight of her nether-lips would distract us from the agonized upward curl of her just plain old lips and possibly lessen the potential sense of empathy. Remarkably, her shorts have kept the shape of her thigh folds, even though it appears to be a loose-fitting garment now at knee-level. For me, this one is the most artistically complex of the trio. The finale seems to indicate at least partial resolution. Both eyes are open, her expression offers a bit of embarrassment, and something about what she's holding (never mind from whence it materialized) hints at "mission accomplished". We conclude as we started; with an air of mystery. Why did she adjust her shorts (and higher at that!) and how is she not falling in?
 
This analysis makes me wish S-E still frequented the forums.
 
Your skills as a pictographic wizard are without parallel, Cliges.
