No, I’m not kidding. Hugh Hefner used to own this.
.
.
And now you can spend the night in it as well. Smoking jacket optional.
.
.
I can’t say this would be my resort destination of choice.
.
.
But it would definitely be different.
.
.
Heck, that pillow alone is blog worthy.
.
.
And the night time pics are pretty dramatic.
.
.
.
Because isn’t that the very best kind?
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten does not exert himself unnecessarily.
.
.
But he has been known to assume some strange positions.
.
.
Not all of them graceful.
.
.
Truthfully, I’m jealous.
.
.
I haven’t been that limber in years…
.
.
Yes, after posting one cute Dudley Mountcatten picture…. Facebook has decided that I need to see all the ridiculous things cat owners purchase while genuflecting before the altar of their furry diety.
.
.
No.
I’m sorry, but I feel absolutely no need to cuddle a stuffed cat log. Although, they would make an interesting club to whack the husband with when he gets out of line.
.
.
Oh no, Hell no.
While I did chortle over the plethora of Bernie in his quintessentially New England winter attire memes, I have no desire for a personalized cat version on my wall.
.
.
Hmm. Dead rodent door knocker? Only if it comes in a red squirrel version…
.
.
After thoroughly whipping my other half in a marathon Scrabble session in the barn last weekend, I took a good look around.
.
.
And realized what an amazing storage building filled with absolute crap ….
.
.
To seriously alcohol–centric man cave transformation we had wrought.
.
.
Yay us.
And to this glorious rustic palace of play? I added a few new things.
.
.
Because if there was ever a more perfect place for my fully operational spastic poop drone… I don’t know where it could be.
.
.
To the bar, I added an acrylic box of appropriately themed cocktail napkins.
.
.
Each more true than the last.
.
.
Alongside the napkins there are now swizzle sticks.
.
.
Some are shaped like twigs in honor of their origin.
.
.
And some are shaped like jazz hands… because it’s just delightfully creepy.
.
And since no man cave with a bar should be without them?
.
.
Hair spray and a comb to repair follicle damage the walk from our wind blown house wreaks on my unruly tresses.
And if you’re cringing over that addition gentlemen?
Viola!
.
.
I also added a plant.
Granted, it’s a just small succulent…. but I believe my eventual takeover of the premises is progressing quite nicely.
😈
.
.
A little bit of this and that for your reading pleasure.
.
.
I really don’t want crabs, but human sized rubber claws are mighty tempting.
.
.
I have to admit I had no idea what the term whisker biscuit meant.
.
.
Well, okay then….
.
.
Underboob funk?
Please, if you can spread this ridiculous product all over your body? How about spreading those ‘ly’ adverbs through your ad copy as well.
.
.
That’s pretty much my take on it. And while I still love Seuss and the crazy creatures of my childhood, if you do your research and check out some of his racist drawings? You wouldn’t want children exposed to them either. It’s not erasing history, it’s learning not to repeat it.
And if that’s too serious a note to end on, here’s one more chuckle.
.
.
Ponder that image for the rest of the day.
🤣
.
.
Because there must be something left to laugh about these days.
.
.
Hey, I don’t blame them a bit.
.
.
I’m hoping this isn’t real.
I truly am.
.
.
Postponed? After a year of non stop cooking ( not to mention barn drinking ) and 4 months of forced couch potato status with a bad knee….. I’m going with cancelled until further notice.
.
.
If you haven’t watched the whole thing, take a few minutes. It totally cracked me up. And made me feel like a total Covid slacker.
.
.
A woman from my town posted this the other day after visiting our neighbor’s farm stand across the street.
.
.
And I had to laugh.
.
.
Because it was totally something I would do.
.
.
Hell, we brought an anatomically correct eggplant to our local pub last year.
.
.
Needless to say it was a big hit.
.
.
And oddly enough, is still talked about fondly.
.
.
This has got to be the most bizarre cat toy ever.
.
.
And while I have to admit plugging a fish into my computer does hold a certain attraction….
.
.
I think it’s safe to say the minute that fish started flapping Lord Dudley would run for the hills.
.
.
But damn, look how joyful it made this particular feline.
.
.
Should we further contemplate why this cat is so deliriously happy to have a vibrating tuna on his lap?
I think not.
.
.
.
I found these tasty treats in the grocery store bakery section.
.
.
And seeing that they were alcohol laden, you know I had to try them.
.
.
The Captain rarely disappoints, and even in cake form he was quite yummy. Moist and spicy, it had a pleasing apple pie autumn in New England vibe.
.
.
This wasn’t my favorite of the three, but it still had a nice pound cake richness.
.
But if you love beer, this is the cake for you. The simple act of opening the wrapper released an instant heady aroma of hoppy goodness. Deep, dark and chocolatey like a good stout should be…. this dessert was a winner.
.
.
The World Wildlife Fund’s symbolic adoption continues.
.
.
Cute candidates abound but you know this fellow will be left out in the cold.
.
.
No one will want to cuddle up with him on the couch. That dude needs a serious manicure.
.
.
Honey Badgers get a bad rap and sure, they’ve been known to viciously kill humans… but I’d still rather adopt one of them than Honey Boo Boo.
.
.
Most people find condors to be ugly birds, but come on…. he’s rocking that feather boa. It’s not an easy look to pull off.
.
.
And finally there’s the wombat, a much maligned creature. Sure he poops square cubes and has a two pronged penis….. but hey, none of us is perfect.
.
River's world.....
