And furthermore, when the moon is full, how is it that the sky is not filled with moths, struggling desperately to reach that big bright light in the sky?

Churchill statute to be reunited with his cigar.

I know some legal mind could find a joke with "statute," but IANAL, so all I can do is point it out nitpickishly.

(Go to all that work, all that stuff in the post, and people gripo bout typo.)

"Black Harvard Students Decide To Hold Their Own ‘Black-Only’ Graduation Ceremony"

They will soon be getting their own water fountains, lunch counters, and reserved areas on buses.

Can you imagine being just some ordinary-minded black Harvard student (oxymoronic as that may sound) and have to decide whether you want to be in with the main class or the segregated ceremony?

I wonder what measure they use to determine blackness.Probably the old tried-and-true paper sack test.

Such a glorious age, this post-SCOAMF, post-racial era.

Great collection, bob.

Some made me groan "Oh no!" like the bricks or the milkman or (yikes!) the kid in the crate towed behind.

No less than three bad jobs of locking up. At least with the middle one - the motorbike - it actually went through the wheel, making it undriveable even if you took it off the post. The one where the lock isn't even attached to the bike is the best.

But the one that made me LOL was the bike stuck in cement. With the footprints walking away from it -- not going off the walk, but continuing right down the wet-concrete walk. Genius award!

Howdoo, folks.

IllTemperedCur: yogurt cups?????

Pudding was all sold out.

Very Beatles-sounding cover of one of their greatest songs. While pretty good, the drummer is no Ringo-- there was one great fast drum riff non-Ringo noticeably did not do. Picky, picky. (And since I don't like to speak ill of the dead, I won't mention my thinking about The Cute Beatle.)

HHHHAAAAPPPPYYYY BBBBIIIRRRTTTHHDDDAAAY

Are you 21 yet? (Just kidding; we know you're 29.) We're all glad you were born! (And a salute to your mother. When I can, I wish moms a happy on their kids' birthdays. I know who did all the work.)

I pray you will live long and prosper, heartily.

Poster Formerly Known as Mr. Barky: Looking for your recommendations for decent cook-books for gluten free diets....

Milady, a world-class chef, suggests anything by Bette Hagman. The first book, The Gluten-Free Gourmet, has the easiest recipes, although not necessarily the best.

The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy has many good recipes.

The one between these two (More from the G-F G) is also pretty basic.

After that, she gets into more complicated stuff with various flours. There's one on bread, one on desserts, one on comfort food.

Milady says she's been cooking out of those for more than a decade, and only once found a recipe she thought was a fail.

Gluten-free doesn't have to taste bad - that just seems to be a requirement of nearly every commercial G-F product.

Where is the "before (or after) the book thread open thread"?? The EMT died a sudden death over an hour ago. I don' wanna read 'bout no dang musty old boooks. I cut that cable. I wanna talk sociopolitical memes, pop media, and boobies. Print is dead. Even digital print. Except blog posts and comments, of course.

Speaking of boobies...

... flying the flag is a good thing, but I mean, come on, really?

Okay, okay, I'll hush up now and let the page-turners chat safely in their little intellectual stratosphere library.

Thanks for the post, OM.

Have a day, y'all.

Red Tornado seems like the natural leader of this team but I'd like to see some rotating members.

Which members would you expect to rotate better than Red Tornado?!?

:D

Gasp! Where is the below-the-fold, NSFW, pussies pr0n warning?

*eek*

Howdy, y'all.

Johnny: ...Besides my cats, reading your comments day after day is probably the biggest source of joy in my life lately. Thank you for that.

I sound crazy. I don't care.

I think jus' 'bout ever'body here is crazy that same way, and this community of crazies is, indeed, a great comfort -- even when Morons beat on one another. You're in good company.

Remember all the good days with your old friend.

CaliGirl: I hope you save the kitten.

I sure don't want to come home some night and find it flattened out on the road.

Already had to scrape one cat off the asphalt, long time ago. (They don't usually go as far as the gate, but I think that one inadvertently rode a service truck from the house to the gate, and jumped off untimely.)

shibumi: perhaps you could get a humane trap for the kitten and add another to your horde?

Yeah, thought of that, but... just as, or more, likely to go back to the trap and find a possum... or raccoon... or skunk...!

th #WildKittenDilemma

Several nights back, driving in the gate, we saw a little yellow kitten dart away, over the wall into the pasture.

Then, last night at the gate, we saw, first, a small possum, and just as it ran into the tall grass, there was the kitten again, who also ran into the tall grass. We stopped, turned off the car, and called kittykittykitty, but kitty didn't answer. (Neither did the possum.)

(The gate is mumbledydozen yards from the house. A lot for little bitty kitty legs.)

Kitty looks just like Charlie did when Max first brought him to us.

Charlie & Max -their story, March 5 pet thread:
http://acecomments.mu.nu/?blog=86&post=361844#c24945709

We've had just the four cats for quite some time, and wonder how we ever managed to care for a dozen, back when we had lots of dogs, cats, and kids. Not really looking to take on another one.

But... But... But he's a cuuuuuute little yellow fellow like my dear Charlie! I hope the Spirit of Max will guide him up to the house.

sounded better in my head? No, not really.

And none of it will make sense after MisHum closes the tag.

A cat in a tree with a gun?

Fortunately, was not a poptart.

Not to poop on the parade, but, isn't "below the pet" like, you know, the litter box?

Abandon thread! Abandon thread! Cease all repartee and exchanges of knowledge and wit!

Daughter just brought out some plants she acquired at the Farmer's Market. We may actually get some bit of garden this year, if only in planters.

HAPPY WORLD NAKED GARDENING DAY

When it comes to "pix, or...," the pix in the post don't quite qualify.

Image search on naked gardening is not recommended. Some yout' & cuteness. Mostly obesity and septuagenarianism and guybutts.

FenelonSpoke: ...or the Lyme Disease I have affects my memory, so prayers for successful shows that give glory to God would be much appreciated....

Hope you don't mind that I also pray for your utter healing from Lyme Disease.
