A:

The image is a Cadillac Fleetwood on a Mac computer, an obvious reference to Fleetwood Mac, who in 1969 recorded "Oh,Well".

Take the acronym lol (laugh out loud).  Drop the first l and you're left with o l, which sounds like oh well.

Synopposites

Q:


Pick two words in each statement.  Find synonyms for each.  The synonyms you choose should be exact opposites of each other.  For example:

The best man split just after giving his toast.          

The best man  left  right  after giving his toast.
