I can't believe Obama Won / Mccain must be so sad right now
A Slowpoke post.
You arrive at work on Monday full of news: "Did you hear Karen's leaving?" Karen's leaving do was on Friday. There's still cake in the fridge with her name on it. You finally get the joke your dad told at Christmas. It is February. You laugh out loud, alone, in the queue at the post office. Grandad has forwarded some breaking news to the family group chat. The actor in question died years ago. Grandad has added "very sad". Three weeks after the date you realise she was flirting when she said she'd love to see your record collection. You text her. She's moved to Leeds. **Why it caught on:** Slowpoke, the sleepy pink Pokémon from the original games, is so slow the Pokédex says it takes five seconds to feel pain. It became the patron of arriving late with the news, the kindest way to tell someone their story is old.
