Service Elephant go Washy Washy


Your love is like   finger sandwiches, with real fingers


Pharmaceutical drugs are polluting rivers worldwide, study warns

On the positive side, we have some of the most well-adjusted fish in the world 


Today I identify as  a set of 5 year old transgender triplets



Something happened and we were allowed out of the house. No snow, no small explosions, no deaths in the family. We came back to the house and the dog was watching Walker, Texas Ranger. Between you and me, I don't think she was watching it. I think it's Mrs. lefty, "leaving the tv on for the dog." I'm sure the dog would rather she leave the oven on with a pizza cooking. One of those all meat pizzas - no crust.

Walker has a pretty good rug.  So anyway, they're in the back of a small Learjet, when out of nowhere, something that looks like a WWII Messerschmitt(?) pops out of nowhere and starts strafing the Lear. The Lear now has 50+ holes in it and is still flying. The only damage is to the front of the plane, meaning the pilot and copilot, who are occupying their seats, bereft of life. Naturally, Walker can fly a plane, because we can all fly planes when the pilot takes a few bullets in the head. After a number of strafings, the fuq5rrel tank gets hit. There is fire. Walker (and his rug) decide to land in the river. Poof - he puts it down like Sully. Oops. It doesn't work that way, unless you're Sully. It woulda broken apart real nice. I know this from watching 20 seasons of Airport Crash Investigation. I can fly planes AND tell you why they crashed. Spoiler: Chuck, girlfriend(?), and rug all made it out safely. I apologized to the dog and muted the tv, so I could type this missive.

We visited our favorite upscale restaurant (Waffle House) for breakfast. There are NO Waffle Houses anywhere near the Philly area. You have to drive at least an hour to find one, making us very silly people (because you didn't know that already). It turned out to be a bit of a mistake because I had a small headache and the place sounded like they were slamming large stacks of dishes, all through the meal. I can't complain about the chocolate chip waffle, though.

On the way back, we stopped at their local Mart, until recently, the only place in the country you could still smoke in, while shopping. Apparently they replaced cancer sticks with dogs; we saw a lot of them. The world would be better if dogs were allowed everywhere. Anyway, this Mart used to be full of people whose eyes spent their time looking at each other. They graduated(?) and now it's full of people with green, blue, and hot pink hair. I can't tell you what the mean number of colored-hair people per mall is, but they were way over.  It is an unusual time when *I* look like the straight, uptight, suit and tie worker, by comparison.

I got dragged into some sort of natural store, with 7 shelves of 'local' honey. I asked Wife if their local honey was better than our local honey, an hour away. She attempted to explain, then I attempted to explain 'rhetorical' or 'joke'. But if I needed honey and went by myself, I would have been in Deep Doo-Doo. In this store, you do not buy honey, no sir. You buy different varieties of honey. As a man and a man who puts honey in tea twice a year, this was daunting. There was clover, wildflower, and buckwheat honey. There was blueberry, ketchup, and Brussels sprouts honey. I'd have to ask the lady where the honey was, then explain to her that I'd like the honey I'd buy in a supermarket. This would go into the rather large and growing Failure Pile. Fortunately, Wife knew exactly what she needed. 'Needed.'

Another store had military surplus. I had no idea why, but I had to see everything in the store. My favorite was the grenade pouches. I didn't buy any, because it turned out they didn't come with grenades. The same problem arose with the M-16 cleaning kit. They did have some fine Lithuanian army underwear, just not in my size.

It has just hit the shelves: the Mothers Live at the Fillmore '71 three cd box set, with extras, including the night John and Yoko joined them onstage. I had no choice - the money jumped out of my wallet before I could stop it. Review to follow.

We were pleasantly surprised to win a prize for the only people with their natural hair color. Unfortunately the prize was a carton of cigarettes. Generic cigarettes.

It's really nice when the universe lets us out.



lefty Law states one cannot pass a Dairy Queen without visiting. On the way in, Mrs. lefty says the next car over is pretty nice, and discovers it's a Tesla. "STAND BACK!" I said. "You never know when it will spontaneously combust." The only way it would have been better is if the owner was around.


Know what's mind-bending?

My nephew just hit legal age.

We were there the night he was born.



The other night, we saw our latin american friends, with their dog. I asked if the dog was bilingual, and they said she absolutely is - she understands Spanish and English. Especially if food is involved.


 

Woman Sues Over Delivery of Chocolate Penis With 'No Redeeming Qualities'
Sounds a bit subjective to me. Who decides what redeeming qualities of a penis are? I know a ton of women who would think it's quite redeeming, and a ton more who would simply get the joke. 

Let's take a moment to be really sad for her husband.

Tesla (Flying) News

We love us some Tesla. They could have their own blog, full of weekly entertainment stories. To be fair, this has nothing to do with Tesla flaws, unless you needed to prove it can't fly.

This week it's the guy in Los Angeles, whose parked car sustained damage, because someone rented a Tesla and sent it airborne. Video has apparently gone viral. I hope the Tesla renter had insurance. It seems Mr. Subaru didn't and has a GoFundMe (post GoFsckMe). There is a hunt to find the airborne driver. The hunt was very difficult, as the driver had already posted it on TikTok. I guess TikTok is the new Faceyspaces. What kind of education was missed, causing people to commit crimes and put video of them online? Brain aberration? Are we going to have to add this to the first grade curriculum? Maybe after do not steal.



The hunt for Nigerians who can change into cats
As if the Nigerians weren't bad enough, with their scamming, apparently many believe they can turn into cats. Bad juju. Maybe we should stop laughing at the Catholics. MeanI addedwhile, people are looking for others who can allegedly do this.

As it turns out, research shows Nigerians aren't the only ones with strange beliefs:
  • Botswanans believe they can turn into the Dodo, which is good, as they're extinct
  • Kiribatis believe they can turn into Elon Musk
  • Slovakians believe they can turn into anything that isn't Slovenians
  • Micronesians believe they can turn into Macronesians - the jury is still out
  • North Macedonians believe they can turn into South Macedonians (studies show there is no South Macedonia)
  • Guineans want you to know they can't turn into the pigs
  • Kyrgyzstanians believe they can turn into something spellable
  • Nigerans believe they can turn into anything that isn't spelled that way, for obvious reasons

Internet of Things Strikes Again
The moment you have to connect your device (printer, game box, fridge) to the net, something bad is going to happen.


So you have a nuclear power plant.
So there's a bit of a problem in your country.
So there's a shortage of nuclear power plant workers.
After about 600 Hours, 64 Workers at Ukraine's Chernobyl Nuclear Plant Finally Relieved

Worker1: Hey, is that a fuel rod over there?
Worker2: Nah, that's Bugs Bunny
Worker1: Are we being paid to operate Bugs Bunny? I forget.
Worker2: I think we're supposed to do stuff to make sure there's no Chernobyl
Worker3: How can we do that with the trains running through the control room?
Worker1: Those are not trains - they're bears escaped from zoo
Worker3: What do the dials say?
Worker1: They're singing Hendrix tunes. How do you think I'm staying awake?
Worker4: They say after 48 hours without sleep, you start to hallucinate
Worker1: Never happen. Not here. Were trained nuclear plant operators.
Worker2: Yeah, plus we could use that coffee to power the plant, instead of the fuel rods
Worker3: Hey, there are tanks out there. They look like ours. I don't generally hallucinate military stuff
Worker2: That's not a hallucination - they're bringing in replacements!!!
Worker1: No they're not - that's Mr. Freeze, The Riddler, and the Joker - all sworn enemies of Batman.
Worker3: Isn't he The Batman now? Where's Robin?
Worker2: Home - he's sore from too much sliding down the Batpole.
All: Ewwwwwwww 
Worker1: Wait - I think I see Batwoman
Worker3: Which one?
Worker1: Too far to tell; I hope it's Julie Newmar. Shall we let them in?
Worker3: What if she's only dressed like Batwoman and is evil?
Worker2: We can't afford to let them in. Too much danger. Are you crazy?
Worker1: Do you know we've been here 600 hours?
All:  UNLOCK THE DOORS
