In recent years, Philadelphia has played host to a massive Eagles Super Bowl celebration. And then there was the huge Phillies World Series parade. But I gotta tell you: Saturday’s Joe Biden-Kamala Harris victory party in Philly could arguably have, er, trumped both. Combined.

Somebody brings a goat. (Though I’m not exactly sure if this because Philly is the G.O.A.T. or if it’s just a random goat appearance. Either way, cool.)

It no Philly party unless…
A person somehow manages to combine references to Donnie Darko, Trump’s wall, the Kool-Aid man, Skeletor, and the Eagles’ Super Bowl win, all at the same time. Brav-fucking-o, my friend.
