Thank you, Infidel753,as always for including my art.
I've been listening closely to you. I'm making some changes based things I've learned from you. More posts to come this week.
Thank you.
Johnny
Love the Nazi-fighting soldiers in drag! And the "Totino" ad -- that's how all lesbians watch sports! Laughed at all your NSFW links too! Bucky the little cat is one lucky feline!
Was that a Crisco disco?
I love the Campbell's Soup Customer Service response to the bigot, but sadly, it wasn't really from Campbell's. It was from an account run by 2 comedians. Oh, what the hell, I still love it!
Poor veggie. Maybe he can join a support group. I hear there's one for all the veggies illustrated on ads for cures for Peyronie's disease.
That sign at Lowe's is very helpful, but it doesn't say how small you have to cut up the people.
If that hamburger is really looking for people, it wasn't cooked nearly enough.
Toot canal!! Now I am thinking that veggie above might be a toot vegetable.
Is that a "viewing tower" to the fish or to the people observing them? Whichever it is, it's very cool.
I had better post this before the power goes off or the internets go down. It just started pouring, and it looks like it's the middle of the night instead of late afternoon. Floriduhh!
I got two things to say - Ken Ham is an asshole and I love the missile defense news story from the onion - too funny!
Infidel, thank you again for the link!
Wait, is someone getting rain in Florida today???
Pat Grant and his circle of life... interesting.
So much stuff; so little time.
Johnny: Thanks for posting the art. It's impressive and moving. I continue to watch, as always, for new posts on your blog.
Debra: The Totino ad was funny -- and I think plenty of guys would really be that oblivious. Can't blame the lady of the house for wanting something better.
Nonnie: I thought that reply was a bit sassy for a corporate account. Still worthwhile.
Now I know what Peyronie's disease is, and I'd really prefer not to.
I think the hamburger is just bait. Or the slogan is.
I guess the fish tower serves both purposes, but it's interesting that the fish seem to like them. Maybe they're more self-aware than people think.
What is it about Republican states and electricity? It rains all the time here and our power almost never goes off.
Lady M: Ham's hammy fake boat isn't going to improve his religion's reputation, that's for sure. And it's nice to know our defenses are ready to fend off the End of Days.
Paul: Thanks for the post. Doesn't it rain a lot in Florida? You guys certainly have plenty of wetlands.
Mike: A sad story, but all too easy to imagine, including the end.
Ricko: Hey, there's a full week until the next round-up.....
I enjoyed so many of your links but that Santorini model really blew me away! Unbelievable.
My goodness, the "Loyalty" one had me laughing out loud, and the diabetes video and corresponding comments wee quite interesting. You continue to find the most amazing stuff. Hope you're doing well, and sending lots and lots of hugs, RO
Martha: The guy obviously loves the place. Maybe he'll move there after the pandemic. I could see the model itself becoming something of a tourist attraction.
RO: She is lucky to have such a trustworthy guy. And I spend a lot of time these days finding out about nutrition and health, so it's only fair to spread some of it around.
