This Hilarious Interaction Between Nick Offerman And Megan Mullally Is Pure #CoupleGoals
February 19 | 2019

We all want a love like Ron and Tammy Swanson... um, I mean Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally.
Offerman and Mullally have been together for nearly 20 years and they've been making legions of fans laugh ever since. When they're not writing books about their Hollywood love story (The Greatest Love Story Ever Told was a bestseller) or appearing on the same shows (their Parks and Recreation shtick was comedy gold), they're charming people with their hijinks on Twitter.
Mullally's also a natural born artist, as she showed with an, um, portrait she made of her husband in character as his Parks and Rec character Ron Swanson.
"I've been talking to this for three days," she wrote
i’ve been talking to this for three days @Nick_Offerman https://t.co/eNFPpBttNU— Megan Mullally (@Megan Mullally)1550485908.0
I'm pleased to report I wasn't the only one who was reminded of Mr. Potato Head as the tortilla in Toy Story 3:
@MeganMullally @Nick_Offerman Loved you in Toy Story 3! https://t.co/gWnDR0Tr1I— Kevin Ryan (@Kevin Ryan)1550516691.0
Others just thought it was a brilliant depiction of Offerman in action.
@MeganMullally @Nick_Offerman If anything ever happens this is the picture to give to the police and press— Em Yeol (@Em Yeol)1550513271.0
@MeganMullally @Nick_Offerman If you put that picture on a T-shirt or mug I would buy it.— Ann Connors (@Ann Connors)1550502539.0
@MeganMullally @Nick_Offerman I am obsessed with this. That is not hyperbole. His eyes are haunting me.— entreprenurr (@entreprenurr)1550524650.0
@MeganMullally @Nick_Offerman This captures the essence of the character better than even a photo could.— JAGeorge (@JAGeorge)1550519285.0
But it was Offerman's pitch perfect response...
Please let me back in the house? https://t.co/RoUQTKs0dD— Nick Offerman (@Nick Offerman)1550499442.0
...that had fans rolling:
@Nick_Offerman You two are the most adorable! Sooooooo much 💖💖💖 and so many 😂😂😂— maximilian (@maximilian)1550499552.0
@Nick_Offerman Thank you and @MeganMullally for bringing the laughs and happy the laughs this world and social medi… https://t.co/CVElTbLMOq— Meaghan Steele (@Meaghan Steele)1550538845.0
@Nick_Offerman Relationship goal.— quentin b (@quentin b)1550499571.0
@Nick_Offerman 😂😂😂you could always go over to Karen Walkers or Ron Swanson’s 😂😂😂— IRON WOMAN!! (@IRON WOMAN!!)1550521324.0
@Nick_Offerman Sorry bud, I think @MeganMullally is about to 'Thank U, Next' you.. 😕— Space Salami Mami Mom (@Space Salami Mami Mom)1550542496.0
We hope this relationship never dies.
There's something seeing a person litter that drives me up the wall. I remember being a kid and being explicitly told to hold on to my trash and not just throw it in the street. As a kid, I distinctly remember being made fun of for not just throwing the bag of chips I'd just eaten or an empty soda bottle into the gutter.
I can't imagine doing that. Why?! We truly treat this planet as if we have somewhere else to go.

When you're in the market for a slew of very specific facts that all fall under the same general theme, the internet really delivers.
Forget streamlined public health capabilities and revolutionized human communication, the true beauty of the internet is all the random, barely useful information you can find when a bunch odd people decide to assemble and swap info.
<p>A recent Reddit thread centered around one theme in particular: the weirdest things about the human body. </p><p>Doctors were asked to weigh in, but unsurprisingly most of the contributors were non-doctors who read something weird one time. </p><p>But that was probably a blessing for the thread.

Working in a doctor's office means helping people when they're at their lowest. Sometimes, that leads to wonderful moments when the patient is thankful for all the advice and care you provided. Other times, it means taking something out of someone's bum.

I love movies. The cinema has long been a savior of mine and has given me some of my greatest inspirations. But being an avid film watcher has also made me quite the critic. I can always tell when a movie is worth the money to see in theaters or wait until it's on basic cable with commercials. The signs of mediocrity abound, and sometimes they aren't that difficult to spot.
Redditor u/fjv08kl wanted to know what is obvious about mediocre cinema by asking.... What are some subtle 'red flags' that tell you a movie is not worth watching?<div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_1"></div>
