GRITTY IS LIT. #GrittyIsLit

seriously what the fuck is Gritty

I love Gritty, I do, but you can tell Gritty did some bath salts and killed a guy with an ice skate before eating him under a bridge

WHERE IS HIS NOSE

I bet Gritty got fucked up on yard mushrooms and ate his own nose

Listen we already have the Philly Phanatic and I don’t know what the sweet hot hell he is but despite looking like the secret love child of Big Bird and Gonzo, he at least looks like he has his shit together

and then there was GRITTY

he’s gonna haunt me

I think I love him

this is the last thing you see before you die

GRITTY has seen some shit too

he’s seen the inside of a CIA black site prison

he’s seen two meteors fucking on the far side of Saturn before birthing an angry comet

he’s seen his own soul leave his body after a long night of weird Russian cocaine

GRITTY knows what you did

this is when GRITTY looks up from the other mascot he just killed and he sees you seeing him

and now you both have a choice

will he come for you

will you join him

were you GRITTY all along

GRITTY is like a McDonald’s mascot in the End Times

an Apocalypse Muppet

a glorious fast food hockey abomination

and he’s coming

do not cast shade toward my large adult son

GRITTY sways with a belly full of bathtub tequila and possum meat

he is seducing you even now

GRITTY is part bear, part orangutan, part piss-soaked mop, part hill cannibal, part angel from the Book of Ezekiel, part gas station attendant high on spraypaint, part Yeti, part Leviathan, part Behemoth, part the Xenomorph baby from Alien: Resurrection, and part of you too

gritty is lit

GRITTY

IS

LIT
