Something funnier than "Hang in there, baby!"

January 8, 2015 11:46 PM

My guy sent me this cute photo of a cactus when I was nervous about a big presentation. He has a big interview coming up. Do you know of a similarly adorable, quirky, inspirational-ish meme photo that I can send him?

Because seriously, that cactus photo is awesome.

I'm partial to a little vulgarity, myself.

I know you wanted something funnier than "hang in there, baby," but I put this octopus up on my wall and never looked back.

This is pretty far from the cute side, but definitely quirky and inspirational: Courage Wolf, for all your channeling badassery needs. Many are nonsensical rubbish, but here are a few classics that might be fun and appropriate for interview jitters.

This shark surfaced just to give you a high five

If the interview doesn't go well, this shark might be appropriate

I am partial to the tiny potato myself (same text as your cactus).

Response by poster: Metafilter is just the best. I chose to print the manatees and the YES bird, but saving the rest of these for later!
