Two Gay Texans Connect Over Their Moms’ Obsessions with Crucifixes

This is not news, but Texas has a lot of Christian people in it. In fact, around 75% of the people in that state identify as such. Texas has a population of around 29 million, so that’s close to 22 million adherents in the friendly state (that’s the slogan they gave themselves, “The Friendly State,” which sounds nice, I guess? If not vaguely threatening?)

Suffice it to say, being a Christian in Texas is like being a deer in the woods. Nobody’s gonna be surprised or confused to see you there. Which is what made this post by Tumblr user indiedrone so funny, and the story that it set off so priceless.

1. The big reveal

Gesturing deadpan to a wall containing no fewer than 20 decorative crucifixes, indiedrone writes:

2. Soul mates

Not to be outdone, a fellow Texan who goes by the screen name fullblownpanic uploaded a picture presenting a wall of at least 25 crosses.

3. A match made in Heaven?

What are the odds that these two would see each other here, and have such perfectly matching images to contribute? Some speculated it might be a sign. But then, a twist…

4. Happy ending

It turns out, they weren’t just playing. They both really were gay youths living in Texas with very religious moms who had quite similar taste in decor. They got to talking, became friends, and eventually met up at a Pride festival in Houston!

The internet is quite a strange place. It can bring together people who live worlds apart, or help two kids who are practically neighbors find each other. You never know who you might cross paths with on Tumblr.

…I’m sorry, I’ll show myself out.

What’s the craziest coincidence you’ve come across online? Tell us the story in the comments.

People Share How Obviously the Family Genes Passed on to Them

Family genetics sure are interesting, aren’t they? Some people don’t look like their ancestors, some kind of do, and some are complete spitting images of their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.

Street Artist’s 3D Chalk Illustrations Are Really Great

I’ve seen a lot of chalk art on the street and on sidewalks lately when I’ve been taking walks, but I’ve never in my life seen anything quite like the chalk art of a man named David Zinn.

He creates really cool, 3-D chalk art of little creatures and animals and he uses the street as his canvas.

He describes his work this way: “Street artist specializing in small-scale, improvised and (mostly) light-hearted chalk art.”

Let’s take a look at his art.

Be sure to check out Zinn’s book on Amazon, as well!

1. The Sandbag Bandit.

Even though he’s a bandit, you have to admit that he’s pretty cute.

2. Happy birthday to you!

The owl even has a cake for you.

3. He loves me…

He loves me not…

4. Look what I found.

You never know what you’ll discover.

5. This must be the place!

Use your time wisely!

6. Looks like a good spot.

To kick back and relax.

7. Lost in a foreign land.

And trying to navigate your way through it.

8. I love this one.

One cookie per day.

9. Two good friends.

Just taking it all in.

10. Love is love.

And you can see it on display in this drawing.

11. The tools of the trade.

When pigs fly…

12. You have a new buddy.

Enjoy it!

Zinn’s work is really great, don’t you think?

Now we want to hear from you!

In the comments, please tell us some other cool artists we should be following on social media.

Thanks in advance. We can’t wait to hear from you!

Relationship Tweets That Hit Just the Right Notes

There’s a kind of science when it comes to crafting the perfect tweet. Like any form of comedy, you’ve got to hit the right pace, the right tone, and strike the right audience at the right time, to boot.

Which is to say, it’s not as easy as these 12 people make it look – but that makes them all the more enjoyable to read, I think!

12. I’m sorry but I’ve gotta side with your wife here.

It’s the old man flu argument, son.

11. Everyone with an older relative knows this is the price of good information.

And it’s not a bad story, as these things go.

10. You always think you can fit just one more thing in there.

Until you definitely can’t and everything is gross.

9. Live and learn, my friends.

Mostly about how it’s fun to troll younger people.

8. There is definitely not room in this tweet for the entire argument.

It’s going to take a few days, tbh.

7. Hmmm I bet he forgot to take out the trash.

If you know what I mean.

6. And doing things like getting up before 8am.

It’s all bliss, I’m telling you.

5. The saddest part about this is that I nodded along.

Different things are a different kind of exciting, but still, it’s not bad.

4. Why would a person do this?

Maybe just to keep you on your toes?

3. Snoring never helps anything.

But neither does keeping your already pissed off and tired wife awake, so.

2. It’s important to keep the other person focused.

Especially in battle conditions like these.

1. I hear it really keeps the spice alive.

Personally, my husband prefers not to be spoken to at all until he’s yelled at the kids at least three times.

I hope one day I can hit a chord like these!

Which one hit you just right? Tell us in the comments!

Tweets for Anyone in a Relationship Who Could Use a Laugh

And I mean, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

9. Things like that get extra annoying over time.

Something to think about now, just-datings.

At least, not this one.

7. I’m not sure that line is going to work.

Maybe the next time around (eep).

6. And also, vice versa.

If they ever wake you up, they’re not the one. #verygoodadvice

5. Wait, Netflix has a pause option?

I thought we all just agreed to watch until it shamed you into hitting continue?

4. One person needs to encourage the other one in relationships.

And yeah, please don’t forget the ice.

3. As a woman, I definitely agree.

Anything is a fair exchange, to be honest.

2. That’s not how any of this works.

And, I’m guessing, why this guy didn’t have a girlfriend.

1. You know you’ve been inside too long when this is funny.

But…it’s kind of funny, right?

This was exactly what I needed to read today, how about you?
