FUN WITH LANGUAGE
These are the first two panels in a rather long cartoon. I found it fascinating but it was too large so I add the link.
The link will show you this but if you click on the image it will enlarge to a readable scale.
My wife and I play a game where we ask the questions our grandson will ask us about the 2020s. Like:
"People refused to wear masks during an airborne pandemic?"
"People continued to watch a news show that ADMITTED lying to them repeated?"
"People banned books because they were about gay people?"
"Conservative people beat federal police with flag poles?"
"People thought vaccines put a chip in your body?"
"DONALD TRUMP?!?!?"
I'm going with...Obama.
Writing was the hardest work I have ever done but I strongly urge everyone to at least try it. Start with a short story - maybe a true story that happened to you. Give it your best effort and you will soon learn how hard it is. But on the flip side, it is exceedingly rewarding.
Gas stations are the new pharmacy for stupid people.
My wife was very upset that some of you people didn't believe me when I told you of her adoration for my manhood, so she rented a billboard.
I once had to stop a young woman halfway through head because she was overqualified. I had to know where she learned to do that and she said she just read a pamphlet. And I believed her.
There are about 7 billion breasts in the world.
I think of that often.
PEOPLE
Another image as old as the internet...
And even after all these years, I've not read an explanation.
In Travels With Charlie, John Steinbeck hung a 5-gallon bucket in his Winnebago on bungee cords and filled it with water, soap, and dirty clothes. The motion of the vehicle washed the clothes.
Give me a break. He looks exactly what an old man is supposed to look like.
Without being judgmental, when I was growing up I didn't know a fat person. Not in school, none of my relatives, nobody.
A man wrote to JRR Tolkien in 1959.
Tolkien sent him a letter back
Training Your Dog
When taking one of my dogs home from the pound I let it sit on my shoulders because it seemed to calm it down.
After that, he insisted on climbing up on my shoulders even after reaching adulthood. Lesson learned.
Meme Reenactment
Given pay rates, humans clearly value entertainment over necessity.
Famous people get assassinated but none famous people get murdered meaning there is some level of fame where your murder becomes an assassination.

That's an excellent idea.

Why under windows?
I did a Google image search and got no matches. I'm going to guess a Christo-like wrapping. Do any of you know for sure?

Danny, was the glass roof on it in the 14th century?
Nothing is harder said than done.
It's a shame that if a negative person meets another negative person they don't become positive together.
THINGS
I found Kingpin laugh-out-loud funny. It was perfectly cast.
I thought that Terminator 2 was much better than the first one.
She nailed it.
This tree that visitors pound coins into for good luck.
I wedged quarters in the bark of trees at every campsite I used. And I put them at a child's eye level.
This apartment building has 2 elevators. 1 for even and 1 for odd floors
This hotel alarm clock shows the time on 3 sides
All of them should do that.
A dime imprinted into a nickel by a train
I rented a studio downtown that was adjacent to a railroad track and we put coins on the track many times. Most were not retrievable. They either went flying or stuck to the train's wheel or something. I even tried taping coins to the track but it was no more successful than using no tape.
A slice of a meteorite
Each of those little bits was once floating through space.
Notes I have from around the world after traveling for years
When I came home from Europe, I had a ∓$100 bill in each currency of the countries I visited. I lost them all when my wallet was stolen within minutes of arriving in New York City.

A3; Obama= communist fraud...
C10: No! The ornate roof structure was designed in 1881 and installed thereafter. This is Danny, by the way. I've used the name "Burgervan" for many years on forums and stuff, just for a laugh.
Dear Mike, Well, I guess he is a fraud because since he's a Communist he never even proposed a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.
