A perfect album from the 80s

Time to harvest some ramps.

Lunch is so extra delicious today I'm sharing a photo: cheese, eggs, scallions, sundried tomatoes, and sprouts in a burrito wrap.

Name a perfect album from the 80s.

Wait, lemme redo this in proper meme format: Name a perfect album from the 1980s.

Favorite movie from 1999? I spent a lot of time scrolling through the list going "Ehn, ehn, ehn, okay maybe... mayyybeee..." And then I hit this one. Full stop. Yes. I will not be taking questions.
