FOOD FOR THOUGHT
I like to think of art as entertaining the eye
as music entertains the ear.
But my favorite thing to do was play opera while the students worked and when a student came to my desk for help I would ask if they thought the lady singing the song was happy or sad. Then I would agree with them no matter how they answered.
I have mixed feelings about that. I kind of see it as a goose and a gander thing.
But I actually like an alert, vocal dog in the neighborhood - as a cheap intruder alert system.
I once had a very alert dog and I learned that he had three types of barks: a dog in the neighborhood, a pedestrian on the street, and a human in the driveway. I only went to investigate a human in the driveway. True!
You have to admit that paying to haul a couple of tons with you when you just want to go to the bar for a beer doesn't make a lot of sense.
Just laugh at it cause it ain't never going to make sense no matter what.
I understand that there are relocation programs but as I understand it many problematic animals just come back to where the easy meals are and I've often wondered how many lives have to be lost before a rare animal is deemed a candidate for termination. I mean, is there a scorecard of victims like 5 cats, 7 dogs, two children, and 1 adult, and once the animal crosses a predetermined threshold do they send out the guys with the rifle with a scope?
Speaking of...
Who decides which animals I can and can not eat and what criteria do they use in making their determination?
I wanted to try horse meat in France but couldn't find it.
I think they ought to rent those at the airport.
There is no "I" in "team" but there are three in "narcissistic".
I hurt my neck by turning to look at something, which is wild because that's the neck's main job.
NAUGHTY BITS
How many of you old timers remember when I used to post a lot of "Painted Ladies"? Seriously, let me know if you've been around that long.
In the last Big Dick contest I was in, I only pulled out enough to win.
See anything odd(er)?
Am I the only one reminded of the Pillars of Creation?
Get a room!
If you took a girl home who wanted to do this, would you do it?
I would not only do it, but I would also ask my neighbor to come over and film it - like he did.
Private Eye
I told my wife that CVS stood for Candy, Vaccines, and Sex Supplies.
You don't become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool which is the only true way to actually be cool. The geezer's paradox.
WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT
Non-Euclidean plumbing
Okay, I'm going to take a guess on this one:
He had no way to cut the tubes to the lengths he needed but he had a truckload of various-length tubes. So, he just kept configuring until he could get from Point A to Point B.
Those books look a little wide to me.
Shark "Protection" Cage
As a two-dicked dog...
Speaking of...
I think he slid right through the barrier at the best of all possible moments.
That would have gone in my PSA Section if I still had a PSA Section. The problem is that appropriate material for that section is hard to find. The same is true for other sections and Take A Walk On The Dark Side and Puzzle Time is in real danger of being eliminated. So, I beg you - if you come across anything I might use just email it to me. Thanks in advance.
Stone ship burial from the Nordic bronze age (750 BC). Gotland, Sweden.
My first job after being discharged was as a short-order cook/bartender. Not only did I cook a full menu but I did it with dozens of eyes watching my every move.
On my first day, the boss told me I was not allowed to touch my face, crotch, underarms, etc. I asked what I should do if my nose itched and he told me to step into the walk-in cooler so no one would see me.
A Polar Vortex
That was terrifying. People died when that shit happened.
But we still fuck with the jetstream as if it doesn't matter.
Wait until the Gulf Stream stops.
The same thing happens when the outboard motor drops down while the boat is on the trailer.
No need to ask me how I know that.
Can anyone think of why that would be done other than an emergency or ineptitude?
Maybe making a movie?
Bob Ross's Paintings As A Journey
Bee Soldier
The keepers of the gate. I wonder if they have to be taught how to do that or if they are born with it.
Remorseful Pup
Fish Out Of Water
Helmet Glide
Not me. Even when I had to get on a lift stage from the roof I had to backward crawl to the edge like a baby going downstairs.
Gravity
That doesn't seem right to me but it's the perfect segue...
Forgive me Father for I have sinned in the most intricate, exquisite, pleasurable, and aesthetically pleasing ways I could think of.
They should invent joints that don't hurt.
USING OR ABUSING GRAVITY
Since birth, we have learned that gravity was something we would have to struggle against our whole life.
Sometimes we could manage it and sometimes it managed us...
We have countless machines and devices to mitigate the effects of gravity, like this new shock absorber.
*NOTE: I want his fucking job.
And similarly...
But mostly gravity has its way with us.
But sometimes we win.
I would think it prudent for all crew members to wear helmets.
But it's easy to understand why they used to sleep in hammocks.
Although as we all know, hammocks are not without peril.
This looks like a job interview.
I would have just picked up my résumé on my way out the door without speaking a word of explanation.
Gravity is especially difficult to navigate when you are fuck up on some street drug some guy cooked up in his Winnebago.
I seem to remember that Jesus told his friends that he would be back while they were still alive. Oh well.

Puzzle. Time: I can't see the size of the wrench, but I'm guessing has something to do with ammunition ( box of shells)
2 9mm clips and a box of shells.
heck yea painted ladies.. also bring back Girls who shouldnt be called sluts.. or something like that
nyc anon
Remember painted ladies.
Dear Sluts Anon, It was "Girls who look like sluts but probably aren't". I had forgotten about that section.

"Girls who look like sluts but probably aren't". Now there is a thought worth considering.
Yeah no, I'll pass on sitting on a ledge too. I dated a girl for a while that lived in an apartment block and had access to her roof top she liked sitting by the edge, gave anxiety every time she did
Remember your painted ladies with affection.
(A8) Went to Paris after I graduated (1980’s) and stayed with my long term pen pal who took me to all sorts of interesting and obscure places. One of which was a cafe that specialized in horse meat. I ate steak tartar - raw chopped lean horse meat, served with pickle and raw egg it was good. I’ve eaten buffalo meat in Wyoming and I’d say it tastes about the same. Same guy introduced me to raw sea urchins and educated me about French cheese which is awesome stuff.
Best place he ever took me to was called “Les Trois Limosin” it was in a back street off the Champs Elyses. They sold steak and chips (fries for you Americans) and beer. They kept coming back with resupply until you couldn't eat any more and it was quality food and fixed price. Sadly it closed more than 20 years ago.

Dear Science Guy, Very nice sharing. Thank you for the memory.
My wife and I have been to many places and Paris was by far our favorite.
Stay safe.

^^B2^^
I remember those days well.
I started reading your blog about 12 years ago but I have also went back to your earlier posts and I believe I have read 98%+ of all your posts.
Some of the early ones were like half a page if I remember correctly.
You've come along way Baby!
