Really, we should be celebrating this at least every year, but perhaps a couple of times each, it’s that good of a holiday<\/a>. Of course, I’m talking about Beware of Strangers Baring Gifs Day<\/strong>, which we somehow missed last year, and I do apologize. Hence, a collection of various gifs (pronounced, “har-DJEE”) that I’ve collected during my exhausting, professional, online research efforts in support of this website. Some of them are actually short videos, since apparently this takes less memory, a curiosity all its own. But we can call them gifs if we want to.<\/p>\n

The caption:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is a cuttlefish, and if cuttlefish are not among your top three favorite species, you clearly have not heard enough about them<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

Not only an excellent<\/em> imitation, but watching her collapse into hysterics is simply icing on the cake:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

This one cuts off too soon – I really wanted to see the aftermath. Look closely:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

A little horror for you, even though it’s not October yet<\/strong> (I get really annoyed at this habit of ever-advancing holidays – you didn’t see me<\/em> jumping the gun on today, did you?)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have my doubts about the authenticity of the caption, but who cares?<\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

Sorry, this one’s gonna freak you out a bit:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
[I was trying to figure out why the one above seemed to have this menacing air, and realized, it’s the shoulders.]<\/p>\n

Security:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

Sometimes, what people add to existing gifs is masterful. I love this guy:<\/strong><\/p>\n

http:\/\/wading-in.net\/walkabout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/NoCake.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>
<\/p>\n

I can watch this one All. Day. Long:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

Pay close attention. This is regret:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

Smooth Criminal:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

I don’t think this was how it was supposed to go:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

This one may require several views to take it all in, but it’s great:<\/strong><\/p>\n

http:\/\/wading-in.net\/walkabout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/NarrowMIss.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>
<\/p>\n

And finally, a combined gif – it may take a second to register. This never fails to make me grin stupidly:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

Ah, hell, we need to see the two best from the previous holiday post again, because.<\/p>\n

First sip of Coke:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

And the best gif ever made, period:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

But I close with a public service message, again<\/em>, because people somehow keep forgetting this. Harder slaps may be in order:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Don't
