A rare photo of Lord Dudley Mountcatten walking in the snow a few weeks ago.

That winter stroll lasted all of two minutes. His Lordship does not like cold feet. 🥶

If you’re a vinyl collector like me, you’ve flipped through endless stacks of records in flea markets and antique stores looking for an elusive LP. More often than not what you find is Herb Alpert. Specifically, the Whipped Cream album. Seriously, it’s everywhere.

If you can relate to that frustration, this next bit is for you.

Lord Dudley likes to watch television. And the other night he came running into the living when he heard a bald eagle screech.

To say he was fascinated is an understatement.

No. Just… no.

I love my margaritas but refuse to add beets.

Blech!

🤢

Misspellings annoy me. Which is why I joined a funny group on Facebook called the Grammar Police where people share photos of grammatical blunders.

I posted this recently.

It was immediately removed.

I thought it was funny.

Apparently, they didn’t.

  2. Geez, I hope I look that good at 89.
    I finally learned to like beets after hating them as a child, but I’m not sure I would like them in a cocktail. And yet, I wonder if it’s like the spinach I put in my smoothies: can’t even taste it.
    An immediate hand slap – River, you rule breaker! I suppose you could crop and resubmit. I’m totally stealing that joke and using it on the podcast. Of course, it won’t be until next winter now, so I hope I remember to give you credit. 🙂

    1. I love raw spinach, but can’t eat it cooked. Same with cabbage, but you can have my beets. Yuck.
      And no credit required, steal the joke. Just don’t mention its origin…. you’ll be black listed.
      🥴

  3. Gotta admit I listen to that album, usually around Christmas when I’ve been listening to his Christmas album and want more Herb.

    You’re in the eagle family fan club too! Everyone seems to be. Not me, but I can see the allure.

  5. I not only had the Whipped Cream album, I also had the book with all of the first trumpet parts. I probably practiced those more than what I was supposed to be working on for school.

    Why would you ruin perfectly good tequila with beets?

    Dognose you’re not allowed a dose of religion with your misspellings.

      1. that’s a shame that’s a really good album my favorite track is tangerine.Yeah I’ll admit I bought that record for a quarter in a used book shop when I was 12 for other reasons 😉🤣 but after listening I fell in love with the sound of Herb Alpert.

  6. Geez that is ridiculous in re to the meme photo. Just because it states God loves you, has absolutely nothing to do with what is wrong grammaticaly ? The eskimo joke is not religious based in any way. People are ridiculously oversensitive, now maybe if it read SMILE! Dog loves you !? That would be funny but would be far more insensitve 🤣

  10. I believe we have that album! HA.

    I used to think it was cute that our dogs watched tv, mostly animals, and then they started attacking the TV when they saw animals, it was annoying….and it’s even more annoying now when they attack cooking shows. They’re loco!

    Beets? Ah, no thanks!

    1. I think everyone had that album. Which is why it’s in every vinyl bin I ever find…

      His Lordship has never attacked the television, though he pays special attention when dogs, cats and birds of prey are heard. Oddly enough the sound that really flips him out? Crying babies.
      Go figure.
