14. OMG. you arent kidding.

I am freaking dying here.

from their FB page:

Turns out that I'm nowhere near white enough to be outraged by this.

FACT: Googly Eyes are one of the leading causes to the decline of our ecosystem. Tens of dozens are left in unexpected places by vagrant vandals each year.

I always wanted to visit Savannah, but now that I see how unsafe it is, no thanks! I’ll consider it once they catch this psychopath. Is the FBI involved yet?

In the criminal justice system, statue based offenses are considered especially heinous. In Savannah,Ga, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Statue Unit. These are their stories .


Might I suggest a hashtag for this movement? #letmegooglythatforyou

It disturbs me that I’m missing two mint condition, extremely rare, 1733 googly eyes from my collection. #googlyeyesmatter

man stumbling away from the scene was heard saying "I liked beer. I still like beer. But I did not drink beer to the point of blacking out, and I never googlie-eye’d Nate.”

Just because I wrote googlie eyed on my calendar doesn’t mean I googlie eyed anyone. It’s a drinking game

and so many more.
