A cricket bat in an unusually HORRIFYING place
Oh shit, oh shit. Oh no, oh no, oh no.
This is quite simply the worst picture of all time.
We are properly terrified of dead animals. We can’t stress this enough.
Show us a grizzly bear and we’ll be scared. Show us a dead grizzly bear and we will crap our pants and continue crapping our pants until it’s removed from sight. Sometimes if we see a bird and it stays still for a bit too long, we get frightened.
Stuffed animals are far and away the worst. It’s the thought that they might move. They never do, but that’s the worst part. They’re frozen with that ominous potential for movement. It’s so menacing.
Thanks to Maria for the picture. It was taken at The Inn at Whitewell, near Clitheroe. Maria says that it’s a really nice place, which it clearly – CLEARLY – isn’t.
So, to reiterate: this fox and this cricket bat – they constitute the worst picture of all time.

Now I know what you were on about. That really is spooky, fancy that!
The only way this could be more horrifying is if it was a cat holding a bat and there was some moronic caption along the lines of “I iz playing a cover drivez”
You’re right KC – that’s truly horrible. Just look at the gap between bat and pad. How does he expect to keep anything out like that?
And, what proportion of the fox community is left handed?
foxy

Has regulation stump height changed since then? They look like remarkably tall stumps if you put them in relation to where the knee-roll on the batsman’s pad is, and the wicketkeepers pads.
Jesus, Hawkeye would have even the shortest pitched of bouncers clipping the bails on those pillars.
Any taxidermy, anywhere, in whatever context, always makes me think of that episode of “That’s Life” with the white cat. You know the one.
That’s Life. Phalloid vedgetables. Esther’s choppers when laughing at said flora.
THOSE are scary images.
just look at the wallpaper
ewww. taxidermies are scarier. but I’m more scared of taxidermiSTS to be perfectly honest.
