One Of My Very Own

My wife has been declared cancer-free.

I'm back to flip-flops, no T-shirt, and shorts...in December.

Doctor: I’d like to give you something to help your anxiety.

Me: Whose side are you on?

PONDERABLES


I asked everyone who comes to my door if they are vaccinated. They all use some version of the "Of course! You think I'm stupid?" assertion.

This is the only excuse for believing the Qanon troll bullshit over the mountains of evidence to the contrary at this late date.

^^A1^^

^^A3^^

*And you wonder why those same people don't want the truth taught to their grandchildren? The same grandchildren who are becoming more colorblind with the ticking of the clock.

^^A4^^

He fears those people for no reason whatsoever and they fear him because of the staggeringly high number of gun violence deaths in America. Who is the saner?

^^A5^^

Maybe, maybe not.

I will tell you that the college deferment during the Vietnam War was the worst idea this country has ever implemented. More or less it meant that poor kids get drafted while rich kids got advanced degrees.

^^A6^^

No.

The Earth was not "placed". And you have it backward. Life evolved BECAUSE of the optimal conditions.

I once had a very smart man tell me that he thought the development of DNA was so complicated that it must have had a creator. I suggested that that DNA is just what happens when all those proteins are present in just the right environment. No magic is necessary.

^^A7^^

Germany just confirmed that they will legalize and sell weed in the near future.

How very, very...sane.

*I predict Hungary will invade soon after.

^^A8^^

My wife invited people to our house and now I have to finish painting the bathroom I started 8 months ago.

JUST PLAIN SILLINESS

^^B1^^

My wife showing her friends photos of me...

^^B2^^

When your wife says she needs to share her feeling and you sit staring at her DO NOT start laughing halfway through. I know that now.

^^B3^^

My mother when enrolling me in school. Only she didn't say "donkey", she said "dumbass".

^^B4^^

^^B5^^

*It's said that everyone will meet a potential serial killer at least once in life.

^^B6^^

*Put me in the game, coach.

^^B7^^

"When work just fucking sucks but you just keep going because you got bills to pay and you're up to your tits in debt."

*We've even seen such a lackadaisical performance at a Super Bowl halftime show.

I bet the guy in that suit is sobbing uncontrollably.

^^B8^^

*Do they come in extra-large?

^^B9^^

They found this in the bathroom at Whole Foods.

I bet he left his seed in it.

His "seed".

^^B10^^

Me: *eating oatmeal in my underwear*

Her: That’s it. I’m leaving.

Me: *drinking coffee from my shoe* Wh… why?

THE HUMAN MENAGERIE


Cyclist frees a mountain goat that got its horns wrapped around a tree.

That's the end of a long struggle.

^^C1^^

I've often advocated cutting the fuel allocation for each NASCAR race and letting those clever uber-competitive bastards figure out how to increase speed and mileage. Now I think there ought to be NASCAR electric car races and let them figure out better batteries and such.

^^C2^^

White men can't do that...or so I'm told.

^^C3^^

Every boy needs a dog to learn the love you choose to have.

^^C4^^

She won't be doing that again.

I have a similar story. My friend Marques got caught stealing the transmission out of a parked Corvette and was given the option of joining the military or going to prison. He chose the Air Force. Well, years later a friend's VW broke down on the side of the road and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it so they called Marques. After a few questions, he asked the guy to take off the distributor cap and turn the motor over.

Then he asked if the round part in the middle was spinning. It was not. He asked the guy to stop turning the motor over and pull up on the round part in the middle.

He did and it lifted out on a long rod that had broken off inside the motor - a malady that I had never ever heard of before or since.

Diagnoses - it was so fucked that Marques would just bring the guy another motor and put it in right on the side of the highway. I helped him. It took about an hour.

^^C6^^

100-year-old WWII vet.

Yeah, well he doesn't have a Missileman Badge.

^^C7^^

Tortoise opened a new science lab at the University of Lincoln.

Do you think he practiced that? I bet he did.

^^C8^^

My wife is addicted to the new thin Oreos. 

I'm a Hydrox man myself.

^^C9^^

Well, I use to start off like the guy on the left then end up like that guy on the right...until I got one of these.

 I position it directly behind me as I work and when I finish with a tool or whatever I immediately put it on the cart. After I'm done I just roll it around and return the items to where they belong. It only took me 50 years to invent that trick.

^^C10^^

Satan’s first act in the bible was to suggest that people eat more fruit.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST


I never knew they were that close to a city.

Also, I thought the terrain was flat as a plate.

^^D1^^

Repetitive behavior like this is usually a sign of extreme stress. Think zoos.

^^D2^^

This tiny snake...

Lever Repair

That very truck passed my wife and me in traffic. I said, "Who has a lever that needs repair nowadays?" We discussed it until the next red light and my wife laughed and said that Lever was the heating and AC guy's name then pointed to the truck up ahead.

I'm also confused about the endless TV commercials offering a drug for people with "bulging eyes". 

I can only assume that there are not a whole bunch of people suffering from that malady since I've never met one. Therefore, I concluded, it probably cost an arm and a leg. I mean, somebody's got to pay for all that ad time.

^^D5^^

^^D6^^

The racing schooner, Westward. under full sail circa 1910

That is amazing.

^^D7^^

Could somebody explain to me why there are four slots in which to insert your seed?

^^D8^^

Hell, in all the kitchens I have worked we had what we called the Grill Brick.

^^D9^^

Note hole blockage.

^^D10^^

^^D11^^

That erect penis-looking thing is the drive shaft.

^^D12^^

Don't do this.

The air bag could have driven that screwdriver through his skull.

ANYTHING that you don't like can be forbidden somewhere somehow in the Bible.

Pay attention...

I bet for that one guy that seems to take a week.

Did it seem to you that that woman stayed extraordinarily calm throughout the whole ordeal?

Note: I'm running out of puzzles in case you want to forward me some. Or at least tell me where to find them.

it's not necessarily the structure of DNA that is the challenging concept. it's the evolution of aminoacyl tRNA synthetases, which are the enzymes that build the "translators" between the genetic code and functional protein.

D8 for different sized sunflower seeds. Note the holes are different sizes. the mechanism needs to compress or split or whatever just enough, but not too much.
