Random drivel.

29 Comments

.

I don’t usually pay attention to the Facebook memories section, but this one from an old blog friend popped up the other day and I had to laugh.

.

.

It really does.

🤣

.

.

That sounds simple and delicious.

If you try it before me? Let me know.

.

And for Brian at http://brianlageose.blog

Because we were chatting a while back about the ridiculous old station wagons we had to drive as teenagers. Here’s my husband and I posing in front of my parent’s ‘62 Ford Falcon.

Complete with wood on the side… because we stylin’.

.

.

If you look closely you’ll see the entire passenger side is crumpled from me side swiping a telephone pole when I was 16.

Oops.

This baby had a top speed of 51mph by the time I got her…. complete with vacuum wipers, a manual choke, and AM radio. I was the envy of exactly (count ‘em) none of my friends.

Please don’t judge the head to toe stone washed denim… it was the late 80’s. We had to.

.

Finally, here’s Lord Dudley…

.

.

In typical goober mode.

.

.

He should, but thank God he can’t.

Running away from home?

20 Comments

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten has discovered the back of the den couch.

.

.

And an event of this magnitude must be documented by taking numerous photographs.

.

.

From various angles and distance ranges.

.

.

Chill Dudley…. it’s the price you pay for living here.

But the real reason for this drivel filled post?

My succulent ….

.

.

Who is clearly trying to run away from home.

.

.

And after all I’ve done for him.

Very disappointing.

Things I won’t be buying today.

Do I need to research Lord Dudley Mountcatten’s family tree?

.

.

I do not. But kudos to the marketing genius who came up with this. I’m sure they’re making a fortune.

.

.

I do happen to be a Rolling Stones fan, RIP Charlie Watts, but that’s a big no on the lips and tongue bottle of whiskey.

And on further examination? It’s a good thing I don’t want to add one to the man cave bar.

.

65,000 euro? Holy guacamole Batman… that’s a seriously pricey sip!

I love my town.

Cruising my small town’s Facebook page today, I discovered an invitation.

.

.

I wonder if adults are allowed?

.

.

I do love a good goat encounter.

.

.

We’ve had a lot of mushrooms lately, but never one with dead tribble hair.

.

.

Teachers. They educate our children and at times, take on the role of surrogate parents.

Scooping poop should not be part of their job description.

So this happened.

37 Comments

.

Last week my husband came home from the store with a leash and harness for Lord Dudley Mountcatten. I wasn’t thrilled with the idea… and neither was Lord Dudley Mountcatten.

.

.

Have you ever tried to put a harness on an uncooperative feline? It’s a lot like herding wombats, only bloodier.

.

.

And while his Lordship has wanted to go outside since we got him…

.

.

I doubt this is quite how he envisioned it.

.

.

If looks could kill… we would have been dead on the spot.

.

.

My husband quickly learned that walking a cat requires an infinite amount of patience.

.

.

For every 10 steps Lord Mountcatten walked?

.

.

He spent 10 minutes sitting, biting at the harness and glaring up at us as if to say this contraption is robbing me of my dignity, not to mention my will to live.

Making the decision to keep him housebound was hard, as all our other pets were free to roam outside. But after losing one to a speeding car and then watching Dudley run right for the road the one time he got loose, I was okay with him being under house arrest.

.

.

I mean really, it’s not such a hardship to be waited on hand and foot by your human staff and pampered with an endless supply of catnip.

The whole walking on a leash scenario seems like the ultimate tease to me. A taste of freedom without being free. But the husband thinks it’s wonderful and plans to continue. Time will tell…

Rubber ducky….

17 Comments

.

In life, mysteries abound.

And in my state? Sometimes they’re a little odd.

.

.

The duck, as you may have heard, stands some 25 feet tall. It floats in the harbor off of Belfast, a tiny city midway up the Maine coast and south of Bangor, having apparently appeared bobbing in the water there under cover of darkness. As if to overemphasize the message of happy playfulness its creator clearly aims to project, it has the word “JOY” written in big block letters across its big yellow chest. Ropes attached to weights appear to be keeping it anchored in place, as gawkers in boats and along the shore stare at it in wonder. No one knows who put it there, and the mystery surrounding its sudden unannounced arrival has quickly been noticed by news outlets across the country.

.

.

The yellow waterfowl emblazoned with the word “joy” appeared in Belfast Harbor over the weekend, and it’s a mystery who put it there.

Harbor Master Katherine Given told the Bangor Daily News that the 25-foot-tall duck doesn’t pose a navigational hazard, so there’s no rush to shoo it away. She added she heard rumors the duck floated from the town of Islesboro, south of Belfast.

“Everybody loves it,” Given said. “I have no idea who owns it, but it kind of fits Belfast. A lot of people want to keep it here.”

.

.

I tried to get my husband to take a ride up there. But driving an hour and a half to take pictures of a giant rubber ducky was not high on his list of required weekend activities.

.

.

But damn.

Talk about a missed opportunity.

For all my male friends… a question.

35 Comments

.

I read a disturbing article the other day. And while I may not be the most trendsetting, up to date person on the planet…. I have to ask.

Is this a thing?

.

.

Forget about the charges and legal proceedings…. ‘semen terrorism”? Do men really go around ejaculating on unsuspecting women’s purses and coats?

WTH!

.

.

Property damage or sex crime… whatever. Apparently South Korea is having an epidemic of men hiding cameras in women’s bathrooms and hotel rooms as well. But the semen thing? Come on, that’s beyond disgusting.

.


In May, a male civil servant was sentenced to a fine of 3 million won on charges of “property damage” for ejaculating inside his female colleague’s coffee tumbler six times over the course of six months. The court judged that his actions “ruined” the utility of the container.

.

Yes. That’s the issue.

A ruined coffee mug.
