Lord Dudley Mountcatten is not thrilled with snow and shoveled pathways.

Winter walkies are lasting approximately 2 minutes these days.

Spotted this in the crap cave cellar the other day but was unable to peruse the contents as the husband had it sealed in plastic. From the look of the cover, my idea of hippies and their idea of hippies are two different things.

While I don’t usually share recipes… I tried this one the other day and thought it was quite tasty, as well as easy to make, so here we are.

Saw this grill set in a store the other day and thought they must have been made with Shaquille O’Neal in mind. That’s my foot for size reference.

Talk about a big burger. Damn.

And lastly, here’s Lord Dudley having his morning coffee.

Don’t worry, he doesn’t really drink any… just tries to lick the residue of cream.

  1. Movie hippies were the worst. Disney used to use them in most of their live-action 1960’s movies. Even saw some in a Doris Day movie. You get the impression that most producers had only seen hippies using a powerful telescope…

    2. Our cats are cheddar lovers. But there is one who just loves cheese, whatever kind it is. They have hever had diarrhea that I know of.
      The Indigenous term, in English, for cheese is “plug-em-up.” It did not get that name from cheese causing diarrhea.

      1. I love that – that’s hilarious! And I’d agree that cheese doesn’t generally have the let-loose effect. With Cheddar, we never really know which human food he’s gotten into that’s caused his diarrhea. But we sure know when he has it!

  3. I would be unsurprised if “hippies” weren’t perceived differently at the time than they are viewed through nostalgia now. Looks like a lot of 60’s counterculture stereotypes all thrown together, probably a lot of who were a part of the Summer of Love, but not so much the crew that went to Woodstock a few years later, which is our defining image of a hippie.

    That thought was too deep for me, so I’ll just awww at the pic of Duds sipping his morning java!

    2. That picture is full of townies, greasers, the “in-crowd,” and maybe one hippie. Whoever was selling that magazine was selling it to straights, not to hippies!
      But sure wish I could see inside, Rg. I’ll trade you my somewhat damaged and plastic-covered poster of the final week of Fillmore West’s line-up. It isn’t a collector’s item per se, but it is still a great piece of Rock history.

  5. These random nonsense posts are so much better than news I can’t use, lol. Any picture of his Lordship is always welcome because he’s so darn cute, and he knows is. Charlie also licks the foam off my coffee because I use half and half and foam it up just for him…..not. 🙄

  10. Just for everyone’s edification, 23 Skidoo was not about a vehicle to ride over snow with, nor did it have anything to do with hippies. It was a term from the Beatnik era. Some say they were predecessors to hippies, but not a chance. They lived in coffee houses, not in the natural world.

      1. “Chasing” is a very aggresive word, and the guy holdi g the flag was certaibly no beatnik. The symbolism is all wrong on that cover. Whoever drew it was looking to sensationalyze something they did not understand.
        But that is what magazines do, isn’t it?
        If you find it again can you check the date on it, please. I’m figuring about 64 or 65.

      3. Thank you. Hippies were quite well established by 67. My own clothing at the time was generally well-worn things I had had for a few years. New clothes were not forbidden, but looked out of place on a true Hippe. Weekend hippies, as we called them (people who were still in school or who worked during the week) were sometimes called townies. They dressed well all week then threw on old rags on the weekend. The “old rags” never looked lived in, whereas a true hippie had at most two pairs of jeans, maybe 3 shirts or tops, and generally no shoes unless going into feeding establishments where shoes were not optional.
        Those were some of the best times of my life.

      7. I figured that from past posts.
        I decided years ago to just stay sober, and avoid all mind/body-altering substances. So now I am hooked on prescription meds (not opioids, just heart medications and such.) What they are doing to my body I mostly don’t notice. They do very little for my mind, but that’s okay too.
