Seriously- what did Waldo ever do to offend anyone?

[lavidaesunsolo]

[memegirls]

Methinks I need to go to the library this summer...

You can also all go to the library before the trip and pick up a book together, for you all to read.

One of the male grad students I knew when I was an undergrad was obsessed with this book. I think I'm the only girl alive who hasn't read it...
