This is great. Where did you find this?

Oh I've got pixels laying around all over the place. Just scooped up a few into a pile.

Some people don't appreciate how hard it was to shovel pixels back in the day.

We had to go to a "Radio Shack" and get our pixels one at a time.

Why didn't you just cultivate your pixels from the fertile soil as God intended?

The times in the pixel fields were hard, my pa lost his arm in a pixel thresher. But it was honest work.

Wow what luxuries! Soil and machines! Back in our day we had to harvest the pixels from our own asses!
