I saw that movie and as a fan of the absurd, liked it.

^^A8^^

*As I understand it, they don't allow guns in the NRA meetings.

^^A11^^

I bet slower cars move out of the fast lane when they see that in their rearview mirror.

^^A12^^

The first thing humans should do after landing on Mars is to play Slim Whitman's "Indian Love Call" on a continuous loop and very loudly.

Them: What would you do if you had a million dollars?

Me: I'd keep making art until it ran out.

ON A SERIOUS NOTE


I strongly agree. Trump cultists need to hear with their own ears when Republican after Republican testifies.

^^B0^^

What's with all the watches and rings?

^^B1^^

Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) 500 m. Guizhou, China.

My daughter might spend time on that now that Arecebo is no more.

^^B2^^

A nice lady once wrote: 

"You don't like cats because they are independent and I can't boss them around".

I replied that I wouldn't want a roommate to scratch me either. And I would also find it problematic if my wife kept sitting on my keyboard. And if one of my own children kept pushing shit off tables and shelves I would do everything in my power to correct that behavior. So you see it's not just cats - it's all assholes.

And it's true...

Ukrainian Homecoming

Her only dream was to see her father and he came from war right to her prom. Unfortunately, many of her peers will never hug their dads again.

^^B12^^

First grade was wild. We were learning how to be human, how to write things down, how to manage friendships, and how to follow the rules, and all the while everybody's teeth were falling out.

Remember when you used to say "I'm going to go on the computer"?

 ON A PERSONAL NOTE


That reminds me of a cypress swamp background for a mural of an old mill. The wall was fifty feet long and that's a lot of trees. 

But I discovered that all of the trees were about 7 times higher above the horizon line than below it. So, I strung a string at one unit below and 7 units above the horizon and started with the lightest colors. As the string moved farther down from the horizon (closer to the viewer) the paints got darker.

^^C1^^

I'm also a Pastafarian. I worship the Big Spaghetti Monster in the Sky. Prove me wrong.

^^C2^^

I love to gamble. But slot machines aren't really gambling...it's entertainment.

^^C3^^

Beware Of Dog doesn't necessarily mean it's a dog to be feared.

It could be a warning to not let him out of the gate.

^^C4^^

If you are a parent of young children, try letting them camp out inside the house. My kids loved it.

^^C5^^

The award-winning oak tree in my front yard is in the city's right of way and I am perfectly willing to sign over a portion of my property if they wanted to put in a sidewalk - just like above.

^^C6^^

What major food chain will be the first to come up with a wide instead of a higher burger?

How about if a big old round bun about the size of a dinner plate "hinged" on one side like a hotdog bun?

^^C7^^

I once told you about a color rendition I made of a mural proposal that featured a huge zipper running up a 10-story building, but then the newspaper featured a mural in Australia that had a zipper running up the side of a skyscraper. So, I had to trash my idea and start over because everyone would assume I stole that idea.

The same is true for the table above. Had I seen it before I made my Money Box I would not have made it.

^^C8^^

I really like games and puzzles but I wouldn't even attempt that.

^^C9^^

A trick I've used a thousand times is to tuck my middle finger to my palm before I shake someone's hand and then say, "Pardon the tumor" when we clasp hands.

^^C10^^

I don't mean to be overly picky but here's what a mustache is:

I seriously doubt that all that hair originates on his lip.

^^C11^^

I once stayed in a bed and breakfast in Taos that had about that many crucifixes.

*By the way, the locals rhyme "Taos" with "house".

^^C12^^

I want to believe. I know they are out there but I've seen the way we treat each other and how we ruin the planet and I'm beginning to believe life just kills itself when it gets the opportunity.

^^C13^^

I would clean her toenails without even being asked.

^^C14^^

If astrology isn't real then why do Geminis act like that?

Today was great. I was blessed by the algorithms.

 OBJECTS OF INTEREST


I've become a real fan of photos like this.

I just hope none of them are photoshopped.

^^D1^^

I'm thinking that once up to speed those huge tires would act like a flywheel making it difficult to stop.

^^D2^^

And that's why they are called Steam Rollers.

^^D3^^

^^D4^^

Kintsugi, or the art of repairing broken pottery with gold

NOTE: I know I've shown you those before but they deserve frequent viewings.

^^D5^^

^^D6^^

A 20th Century Bridge, Built On Top Of An 18th Century Bridge, Built On To Of A 12th Century Bridge

And that's why you work with stone.

^^D7^^

Is that a tow-behind battery pack?

^^D8^^

Did you notice how many empty casings are falling out of that bad boy?

^^D9^^

Chevron folds

Chevron folds are a structural feature characterized by repeated well-behaved folded beds with straight limbs and sharp hinges. Well developed, these folds develop repeated sets of v-shaped beds. They develop in response to regional or local compressive stress. Inter-limb angles are generally 60 degrees or less. Chevron folding preferentially occurs when the bedding regularly alternates between contrasting competencies. Turbidites, characterized by alternating high-competence sandstones; and low-competence shales, provide the typical geological setting for chevron folds to occur.

That reminded me of this...

^^D10^^

Remember when you failed to climb the rope in gym class and they told the President about it?

Does anyone else remember when Marlena from Days Of Our Lives was possessed?

 HUMAN FOLLY


"The Body Part That Must Be Unseen"

It's so silly. Now look at this young lady...and there will be a quiz.

That image came from a site that prohibits all depictions of nipples. So, how much nipple is too much nipple? I mean, I can see a tiny little bit of hers - can't I?

And I've lived with enough women to know exactly how they feel about tittie hammocks.

^^E1^^

There's always that one person who has to have more attention than anyone else.

^^E2^^

And he dumped his load of wet concrete.

There's a lot of that going around...

^^E3^^

There are two kinds of women in this world.

Type One

Type Two

I am absolutely certain that her husband is laughing his ass off.

^^E4^^

I don't think the bottom ladder is attached to the top ladder.

^^E5^^

^^E6^^

I would ask anyone I saw wearing that shirt how many children they have adopted.

^^E7^^

There's a lot of this going around...

^^E8^^

Family Therapy - with sound this time

^^E10^^

That's $299 billion, more than musk's net worth.

Wikipedia:
Musk is the wealthiest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of US$239 billion as of July 2023, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, and $248.8 billion according to Forbes's Real Time Billionaires list, primarily from his ownership stakes in Tesla and SpaceX.
