Scotland. Home to fine whiskey, rugged highlands, a mythical lake creature, bagpipes, my ancestors… and haggis.

(If you don’t know what haggis is, consider yourself lucky and leave it at that.)

.

Since the owner/bartender of our local pub is a Scot born and bred, I thought it might be fun to show up wearing a mask of my clan’s tartan the next time we drop by for a pint. Enter Amazon.

Sure enough they had one…

.

.

Though by the look of the packaging, I’m guessing it was not made anywhere near a peat bog or by Clan MacGregor.

.

.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering….

.

.

The post title is my clan’s motto in Gaelic. Royal is my race.

.

.

Well, yes.

There’s that too.

.

Flotsam and jetsam.

.

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.

🤣

.

Pandemic humor.

.

Because Covid isn’t funny… but we still need to laugh.

.

.

Guess the conspiracy theorists were right after all.

.

.

For anyone who has ever been owned by a cat, you know this is true.

.

.

If only…

.

.

Geesh. How bad do you suppose it has to get?

.

.

It’s been almost a year since we traveled.

A year! That just doesn’t seem possible.

.

.

Okay, on second thought ….I guess we don’t have it so bad after all.

.

Pandemic humor.

.

Because I’m still here and still trying to find the humor in it.

.

.

I remember climbing over seats into the back of our station wagon and sticking my feet out the rear window while my parents barreled down the Jersey Turnpike to the shore. How the hell did any of us survive to adulthood?

.

.

This is why we’re not traveling. People be morons.

.

.

Now if someone could just tell me how I can apply Dizzy Izzy…. my life will be complete.

.

.

Good grief, I hope not. That will seriously impede my martini consumption.

.

Pandemic humor.

.

Because if I don’t laugh, I’ll hurt someone.

.

.

Proof there’s a silver lining to every cloud.

.

.

I’m not there… yet.

.

.

This, above anything else, is what I miss. Our plans of retiring and traveling extensively this year went right down the drain.

.

.

Whew. Glad I made the cut…

.

.

I wouldn’t doubt it.

.

.

Some people just shouldn’t shake their groove thing. Ever.

.

.

Better living through science? I rest my case.

.

.

Building a snowman?

Very 2019.

.

Pandemic humor.

.

Because laughing beats the alternative.

.

.

Please. I’m begging you…

.

.

Anal probe be damned. A day out is a day out.

.

.

Thank you Hubert.

.

.

How about we pee on everyone who refuses to wear one? That might change some minds.

.

.

Run, chicken!

Run!

.

.

Don’t laugh, by January this might be a reasonable option.

.

.

Proof positive Covid is affecting everyone.

.

Pandemic humor.

.

Because you have to laugh. Or at least I do..

.

.

Nothing worse than a wannabe.

.

.

I’m not sure I needed permission, but thanks anyway.

.

.

Poor Rexy.

How the heck did he eat a taco?

.

.

As rabid as some people have been during this election cycle, it wouldn’t surprise me.

.

.

True.

We were going to retire and travel. Now I get excited if the grocery store has toilet paper.

.

.

The perfect holiday ornament for a truly shitty year.

.

Pandemic humor.

.

Because I still need to laugh.

.

.

You think you’ve laid in enough supplies for the next Covid wave of panicked shoppers? Just imagine how much triple ply Charmin ole Rex would have needed.

.

.

That’s a distinct possibility.

.

.

Another possibility. At least in my neck of the woods.

.

.

That sounds like good advice.

.

.

Protection.

It’s not just for penises anymore…

.

Pandemic humor.

.

Let’s keep laughing for as long as we can.

.

.

Me neither.

And that’s just wrong!

.

.

Personally, I would love a pet skunk. They’re affectionate and trainable to a litter box. We have them visit under our bird feeders every night and they are absolutely, positively, frickin’ adorable! But Maine made it illegal to capture and de-scent the little buggers years ago, so boo to that.

.

.

Yup.

That looks about right.

.

.

Pulp Fiction – 2020 style.

And if you don’t believe in masks but are still responsible enough to wear one?

.

.

Voice your protest responsibly.

.

.

And for the record? My hips don’t either…
