For your viewing pleasure in these trying times: Snow groomin' the human (me). Scientifically, the behavior is called allogrooming, or (as I pronounce it) "'allo! grooming"

The full John Adams quote is too long for Bluesky, so I must relegate it to alt text:
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.

They don't get that Norman Rockwell was a *huge* advocate for diversity.
Norman Rockwell's painting "Moving Day (New Kids in the Neighborhood)" depicts the integration of Chicago's Park Forest suburban community. Two well-dressed black children stand beside an unloading moving truck, facing 3 white children wearing casually-dressed white children.
The children examine each other with curiosity and it appears likely that they will soon be friends.

I think I know the suspect! (if they were Hostess products, it'd be more difficult to narrow down)
Illustration from "The Super Dictionary": "When no one was looking, Lex Luthor took forty cakes. He took 40 cakes. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible."

I still love Allie Brosh's pain scale from Hyperbole And A Half hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/02/boyf...
Revised pain scale, from zero to eleven + "too serious for numbers"  with stick figures in increasing distress:

0:  Hi.  I am not experiencing any pain at all.  I don't know why I'm even here.

1:  I am completely unsure whether I am experiencing pain or itching or maybe I just have a bad taste in my mouth.

2:  I probably just need a Band Aid.

3:  This is distressing.  I don't want this to be happening to me at all.

4:  My pain is not fucking around.

5:  Why is this happening to me??

6:  Ow.  Okay, my pain is super legit now.

7:  I see Jesus coming for me and I'm scared.   

8:  I am experiencing a disturbing amount of pain.  I might actually be dying.  Please help.

9:  I am almost definitely dying.

10:  I am actively being mauled by a bear.

11: Blood is going to explode out of my face at any moment.

Too Serious For Numbers:  You probably have ebola.  It appears that you may also be suffering from Stigmata and/or pinkeye.

Aside from the bride & groom? How about our wedding cake (read the titles bottom-to-top)
4-layer wedding cake which looks like a stack of books. Bottom-to-top, the titles are: Foundation, Neuromancer, Ringworld, and Good Omens.

Always satisfying to give the haters a scare, though when you said you drove "through" a rally, I hoped it would've gone more like this:
